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 first appeared as a promotional card, numbered SM221, released as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos set. This card was issued to tie into the Ultra Beast themes that defined the later stages of the Sun & Moon TCG era. It features the signature aesthetic of the Ultra Beast cards, which often emphasize vibrant, chaotic backgrounds that reflect the alien nature of the Pokémon as introduced in the Nintendo 3DS titles.
The card was primarily distributed through the Blacephalon Figure Collection, a retail set that included the promotional card, a collectible figure, and several booster packs. The artwork captures the firework-like motif central to Blacephalon's design, focusing on its bulbous, colorful head and its theatrical, mysterious presence within the Pokémon universe. It was received as a standard promotional inclusion for players and collectors looking to round out their Ultra Beast collections during the 2019 release window.
