Question 1

Is Umbreon a rare Pokémon in the games?

Accepted Answer

Umbreon is an evolution of Eevee, which itself can be found in various locations depending on the game. Its evolution method requires specific conditions (high friendship at night), making it a deliberate and somewhat special acquisition rather than a common encounter.

Question 2

What is the significance of the "V" on this card?

Accepted Answer

The "V" on this card indicates that it is a Pokémon V, a special type of Pokémon introduced in the Sword & Shield era. Pokémon V cards have higher HP and stronger attacks than regular Pokémon, but when they are Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards instead of 1.

Question 3

What does the "Single Strike" label mean on the card?

Accepted Answer

The "Single Strike" label signifies that this Umbreon V belongs to the Single Strike archetype, introduced in the Sword & Shield Battle Styles expansion. Single Strike cards often feature powerful, direct attacks and can interact with other Single Strike cards and Trainer cards for synergistic effects.

Question 4

Who illustrated this Umbreon V card?

Accepted Answer

This Umbreon V card, SWSH203, was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a prolific group of artists known for their distinctive style often featured on many full-art and special rarity Pokémon cards in the modern TCG.

Question 5

How does the "Mean Look" attack work in the TCG?

Accepted Answer

The "Mean Look" attack deals 30 damage and prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during your opponent's next turn. This can be a strategic move to trap a weak or high-retreat-cost Pokémon in the Active Spot, allowing you to set up for a Knock Out.
