Read more ↓Koga's Trap is a Trainer card, specifically a Supporter, and therefore doesn't feature a Pokémon. However, it is intrinsically linked to Koga, the Poison-type Gym Leader of Fuchsia City in the Kanto region, first introduced in the Generation I Pokémon games, *Pokémon Red and Blue*. Koga is a master of ninja arts and a formidable opponent, known for his cunning strategies and his team of Poison-type Pokémon, such as Weezing and Muk. His character embodies the stealth and tactical approach of a ninja, often utilizing status conditions to wear down his opponents. In the anime, Koga appears as a mature and skilled ninja master, further cementing his image as a master of stealth and strategy. While not a Pokémon itself, the card represents Koga's iconic traps and combat style, reflecting his ability to hinder opponents with debilitating status effects. The card's effect directly mirrors Koga's in-game and anime persona, where he often leaves opponents confused and poisoned. Koga later ascends to the Elite Four in *Pokémon Yellow* and *Pokémon Gold and Silver*, showcasing his continued mastery and growth as a trainer.
