Character info
The character
Tranquill is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon that evolves from Pidove and later evolves into Unfezant. It is known for its extremely precise homing instincts, which trainers and couriers relied upon for delivering letters and small items across long distances. Flocks of Tranquill are also noted for their coordinated, ritualistic flight displays.
This card
This is Tranquill from the Black Bolt set, numbered 149/086 with an AR rarity designation despite its high collector number relative to the set's base size of 86 cards. The artwork, illustrated by cochi8i, depicts two Tranquill in flight beneath a forest canopy, diving past tree branches against a blue sky. The card carries a flavor text noting the Pokémon's ability to return to its trainer regardless of distance.
How it plays
This Stage 1 Pokémon has 80 HP and evolves from Pidove. Its single attack, Fly, costs one Colorless energy and deals 40 damage; the attacker flips a coin, and on tails the attack does nothing, while on heads the Pokémon is protected from all damage and effects of attacks during the opponent's next turn. It has a weakness to Lightning-type attacks (x2) and a resistance of -30 to Fighting-type attacks.
