What it does
During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 40 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Even though it is encased in a sturdy shell, the body inside is tender. It can't withstand a harsh attack.

Where it came from
The Metapod card from the XY—Evolutions set was released in November 2016 as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to evoke nostalgia by featuring updated versions of cards from the original 1999 Base Set, maintaining the classic layout and aesthetic while integrating them into the modern game mechanics of the time.
The card features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and celebrated illustrators in the history of the franchise, who has contributed to the game since its inception. Arita's illustration for this iteration maintains a faithful homage to the original design, emphasizing the static and defensive nature of the Pokémon, which remains a staple of the Metapod evolutionary line.
