Read more ↓Miasma Valley is not a Pokémon, but rather a Stadium card, a special type of Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Stadium cards represent specific locations that affect gameplay for both players, introducing unique rules or effects while they are in play. These cards are distinct from Pokémon cards themselves, focusing on environmental or situational impacts rather than representing a living creature. As a Stadium card, Miasma Valley doesn't have a Pokédex entry, natural habitat, diet, evolution line, or type matchups in the traditional sense of a Pokémon. Instead, its "lore" comes from its evocative name and artwork, depicting a mysterious, mist-shrouded valley with swirling waters, suggesting a place of potential danger or unique energy. Stadium cards were introduced early in the TCG's history and have remained a staple, providing strategic depth by allowing players to alter the game's fundamental rules for a period. They often reflect locations seen in the Pokémon video games or anime, contributing to the rich world-building of the franchise.
