What it does
Put 4 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like. If your opponent has exactly 3 Prize cards remaining, put 12 damage counters on them instead.
It slithers toward people. Then, without warning, it triggers the explosion of its own head. It's apparently one kind of Ultra Beast.

Where it came from
Blacephalon was introduced in the Sun and Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, specifically appearing in the 2019 Cosmic Eclipse expansion. This set served as the final major expansion for the Sun and Moon series, designed to celebrate the breadth of the generation by featuring a large roster of fan-favorite creatures and complex mechanical interactions. As an Ultra Beast, Blacephalon reflects the surreal and alien aesthetic characteristic of the Ultra Space entities first introduced in the seventh generation of Pokémon.
The card’s artwork was rendered by illustrator Hitoshi Ariga, an artist well-regarded for his dynamic and vibrant contributions to the Pokémon franchise. Ariga’s design captures the firework-themed, whimsical, and slightly unsettling nature of the Blacephalon character. The card was released during a period when the game was heavily emphasizing high-energy, aggressive playstyles, and the holo-rare variant was designed to offer players and collectors a visually striking representation of the character's unique physical design.
