Pokémon Trading Card Game Arven’s Maschiff

This original Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Arven’s Maschiff, presented as a Darkness-type Basic Pokémon. The card showcases an endearing illustration by Mina Nakai, capturing Maschiff’s characteristically stern and scowling expression. The artwork humorously contrasts its attempt to look fierce with the Pokédex lore that even crying children find its face laughable.

As a Basic Pokémon, Maschiff provides two straightforward attack options for different situations. Its first move, Stampede, is a low-cost attack for a single Darkness Energy, dealing 10 damage. Its second move, Confront, requires two Darkness Energy to deliver a more substantial 50-damage strike, making it a reliable attacker as the game progresses.

This version is a Common rarity, identified by the circle symbol. The card features standard gameplay statistics, including a double-damage Weakness to Fighting-type attacks and a single Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. It is a versatile and accessible Basic Pokémon, perfect for applying early pressure or serving as a foundational piece in a Darkness-themed deck.
