What is a Poké-POWER?

A Poké-POWER is a special ability that a Pokémon can use, often with specific conditions or timing, and it is not considered an attack.

How does the Freeze-up Poké-POWER work?

Once per turn, when you evolve a Pokémon into Walrein, you can flip two coins, and if both are heads, the opponent's Defending Pokémon is discarded.

What does "discard" mean in the context of Freeze-up?

Discarding a Pokémon means it and all attached cards are moved to the discard pile, but it does not count as a Knocked Out Pokémon, so no prize cards are taken.

What is the effect of Walrein's Ice Bind attack?

If the opponent chooses not to discard a card from their hand after Ice Bind deals damage, the Defending Pokémon becomes Paralyzed.

Walrein, the Ice Break Pokémon, is a formidable Water/Ice type introduced in Generation III. It is the final evolution of Spheal, evolving from Sealeo, and is known for its immense size and powerful tusks. Walrein typically inhabits cold, icy waters, often seen lounging on ice floes or diving deep for food. Its diet primarily consists of fish and other marine life, which it hunts using its keen senses and impressive strength. In the games, Walrein is a popular choice for trainers seeking a bulky special attacker, often appearing in the Hoenn region's Victory Road. In the anime, it has been featured in various episodes, showcasing its protective nature and strength. Culturally, Walrein embodies the resilience and power of arctic wildlife, often depicted as a gentle giant unless provoked. Its design, reminiscent of a walrus, gives it a distinct and memorable appearance among Water-type Pokémon. Its thick blubber provides excellent insulation, allowing it to thrive in frigid environments, and also serves as a defense against physical attacks.
