About Metapod

Even though it is encased in a sturdy shell, the body inside is tender. It can't withstand a harsh attack.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Metapod glowing faintly against a dark forest backdrop, its segmented shell prominently displayed as it appears alert and guarded, embodying a state of transformation and defense.

Playability Overview

Metapod’s high damage reduction makes it a solid defensive option, but its low damage output and coin flip reliance limit its offensive viability in competitive play.
