Dewgong #97

This Dewgong card stands out as an Illustration Rare, identifiable by its card number 97/94, which places it beyond the standard set count and designates it as a secret rare within the Phantasmal Flames expansion. Secret rare cards are intentionally printed in limited quantities, making them significantly rarer to pull from booster packs and highly desirable among collectors. The appeal is further amplified by its Illustration Rare status, where the card showcases a unique, full-card artwork style by satoma, a key factor contributing to its collectibility.

satoma's artwork for this Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon likely captures Dewgong in an environment reflective of its nature, possibly hinting at its nocturnal search for food as described in the card's flavor text: "It sleeps under shallow ocean waters during the day, then looks for food at night when it's colder." In terms of gameplay, Dewgong features the "Thick Fat" Ability, reducing damage taken by 30 from opposing Fire or Water Pokémon, embodying its Pokedex description of storing thermal energy to thrive in intensely cold waters. Its "Slam" attack offers a conditional 70 or 140 damage based on two coin flips, adding an element of chance to its offensive capabilities.
