What it does
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
It is very meek and constantly crouches in a defensive posture. When threatened, it protects itself with the flame on its back.

Where it came from
Released in 2002 as part of the Neo Destiny expansion, this card captures the early generation of the Pokémon franchise. The set is notable for introducing the concept of Light and Dark Pokémon, focusing on the lore-rich connection between the creatures and their trainers. As a Common-rarity card in this series, it served as an accessible entry point for players exploring the Johto-region characters that had recently debuted in the Pokémon Gold and Silver video games.
The artwork for this card was crafted by illustrator Atsuko Nishida, who has been a central figure in defining the visual identity of the franchise, most notably as the creator of Pikachu. In designing this Cyndaquil, Nishida emphasized the character's gentle, spark-emitting nature, utilizing a soft, illustrative style that was characteristic of the Neo-era sets. The design was well-received by fans for its warmth and its faithful representation of the Fire-type starter, contributing to the enduring nostalgia for this specific generation of trading cards.
