Character info
The character
Watchog is the evolved form of Patrat, a vigilant Normal-type Pokemon known for the luminescent patches around its eyes and body. It is said to stun attacking opponents by making these patches glow brightly, a trait tied to its role as a lookout in the wild. Watchog is recognized for its alert, watchful nature and its ability to stand guard for long periods.
This card
This is Watchog from the Chaos Rising set, numbered 097/086, a Stage 1 Pokemon card illustrated by MARINA Chikazawa. The artwork depicts Watchog and a smaller companion wearing yellow safety vests on a city rooftop at night, with an illuminated tower resembling the Eiffel Tower in the background. The card carries an AR rarity designation and the above-numbering print often associated with secret or alternate art cards in modern sets.
How it plays
Watchog is a Stage 1 Pokemon with 100 HP that evolves from Patrat. Its first attack, Snap Inspection, costs a single Colorless energy and involves flipping 3 coins; for each heads the opponent reveals their hand and the player shuffles a chosen card from it into the opponent's deck. Its second attack, Low Kick, costs a single Colorless energy and deals 50 damage. The card has a weakness to Fighting-type attacks at double damage, no listed resistance, and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy.
