What it does
Any damage done to Kakuna by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for an Evolution card that evolves from Kakuna and put it onto Kakuna. (This counts as evolving Kakuna.) Shuffle your deck afterward.
While awaiting evolution, it hides from predators under leaves and in nooks of branches.

Where it came from
Released in May 2009, the Rising Rivals set marked the third expansion of the Platinum Series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its emphasis on the rivalry between Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, drawing heavy inspiration from the Pokémon Platinum video game. The Kakuna card, numbered 66/111, was categorized as a common card and served as a foundational stage-one evolution within the Grass-type mechanic of the era.
The artwork for this specific iteration was handled by Ken Sugimori, one of the most significant figures in the franchise's visual history. As a lead designer and illustrator, Sugimori often opted for a clean, studio-style aesthetic that prioritized anatomical clarity and the classic character model. His work on this Kakuna remains consistent with the utilitarian design language used throughout the early TCG expansions, focusing on the static, defensive posture characteristic of the species.
