Card 175Ascended Heroes #175 Pokémon Card

Komala, the Drowsing Pokémon, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is unique in that it is always asleep, never waking up from its slumber. Komala carries a log that it clings to, which it uses as a pillow and sometimes as a weapon. Its drool is said to have anesthetic properties, a fact often mentioned in its Pokédex entries and even on this card. Komala is a solitary Pokémon, often found in forests, clinging to its log. It has no known evolutionary line, making it a standalone Pokémon. As a Normal type, it is only weak to Fighting-type moves and resistant to none. In the games, its Comatose Ability prevents it from being affected by any other status conditions, reinforcing its perpetually sleeping state. In the anime, it has appeared as a recurring Pokémon belonging to Professor Kukui, showcasing its sleepy demeanor and unique log-wielding actions. Komala's constant slumber and its special log have made it a memorable and endearing Pokémon, often depicted in merchandise as a cute, sleepy companion. Its cultural significance lies in its unique biological state, representing a creature in perpetual rest, which contrasts with the typically active and battling nature of most Pokémon.
