Character info
The character
Masquerain is the Eyeball Pokémon, numbered 284 in the national Pokédex, and the evolved form of Surskit. It is known for the eye-like patterns on its antennae and its four wings, which let it hover and change direction freely in flight. In the games it is a Bug/Flying type recognized for its intimidating mimicry display.
This card
This is Masquerain from the Plasma Blast set, numbered 2 out of 101, printed in 2013 as part of the Team Plasma variant line with standard rarity (R). The artwork, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, shows Masquerain hovering above an icy, industrial-looking backdrop. The card's layout and foil Team Plasma branding are consistent with this set's design treatment.
How it plays
This Stage 1 Pokémon has 80 HP and a Grass energy type. Its Ability, Tool Reversal, allows the player to return a Pokémon Tool card attached to one of their Pokémon back to their hand at any time during their turn before attacking. Its attack, Bug Bite, costs three energy (any combination of one plus two colorless shown as stars) and deals 60 damage. It has a weakness to Fire type attacks (×2), no listed resistance, and a retreat cost of one energy.
