Character info
The character
Slither Wing is a Paradox Pokemon, a prehistoric-looking counterpart tied to Volcarona, that appears in modern Pokemon games as a mysterious creature resembling a being described in old texts. It is associated with the Ancient trait, grouping it with other primal Paradox forms. Little is confirmed about its origin, and its Pokedex entry notes only its resemblance to the creature from the old book.
This card
This is Slither Wing from the Ancient Roar set (sv4K), numbered 074/066, printed as an AR (Art Rarity) card in Japanese. The artwork, illustrated by Takeshi Nakamura, shows the Pokemon in a wide full-art illustration against a dark jungle background with a glowing blue ember at its feet. The card carries the Ancient (古代) marker in the top right corner.
How it plays
This Basic Pokemon has 140 HP and is a Fighting type with the Ancient trait. Its first attack, Stomp (ふみならす), costs one Fighting energy and discards the top card of the opponent's deck. Its second attack, Scorching Scramble (ねっしょうどとう), costs two Fighting energy, deals 120 damage, deals 90 damage to itself, and burns the opponent's Active Pokemon. It is weak to Psychic type (x2), has no listed resistance, and a retreat cost of three energy.
