Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Forretress spinning rapidly through turbulent waters, its spiked shell reflecting light as it bursts through crashing waves, exuding power and resilience in a dynamic, stormy environment.

Playability Overview

Forretress offers strategic disruption with Spike Spread's multi-target damage and Gyro Ball's forced switching, but its low HP and high retreat cost limit its longevity in competitive play.
