What it does
Such a thick shell of wood covers its head and back that even a direct hit from a truck wouldn't faze it.

Where it came from
The Chespin card, numbered 8/162, was released in the 2015 XY—BREAKthrough expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing the BREAK Evolution mechanic, which featured cards that could be placed horizontally atop existing Pokémon to boost their HP and attacks. As a common card, this Chespin served as a foundational piece of the set, designed to help younger players and collectors build their grass-type decks while introducing the generation six starter Pokémon to a wider audience.
The illustration was crafted by artist Mizue, who has contributed numerous designs to the Pokémon TCG. The artwork captures the character’s playful, rodent-like personality in a soft, approachable style consistent with the early stages of a starter Pokémon’s evolution line. Upon release, the card was well-received by the community for its clean aesthetic and its role in helping players understand the card-game mechanics during the XY series era.
