Pokémon Trading Card Game Hippowdon

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Hippowdon, the colossal Heavyweight Pokémon, as a Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon. The artwork by Kurobe So captures Hippowdon’s fearsome display of strength with its gaping mouth, illustrating its ability to raise vast quantities of sand while attacking as described in its Pokédex entry.

As the evolution of Hippopotas, Hippowdon is a formidable tank and attacker. With a high 150 HP, it is difficult to knock out. Its first attack, Sand Spray (cost: three Fighting Energy), deals a solid 90 damage. Its second attack, Land Crush (cost: four Fighting Energy), is a devastating finisher that deals 140 damage, capable of taking down most opponents in two hits or less.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it carries a Grass-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a four-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost, emphasizing its immense size and weight. This card is the powerful payoff for evolving Hippopotas, serving as a durable and hard-hitting anchor for Fighting-type decks.
