Its Ability

Miracle Aroma

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, choose either Asleep, Burned, or Poisoned. The Defending Pokémon is now affected by that Special Condition. This power can't be used if Venusaur is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Giant Bloom

60

Flip a coin. If heads, remove 4 damage counters from Venusaur.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    130 HP. Only 1 cards in Secret Wonders carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Miracle Aroma. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Ivysaur to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire +30. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 914 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Secret Wonders landed here on 1 November 2007.
