What it does
Flip a coin. If heads, Pineco does 40 damage to itself and 10 damage to each Pokémon on each player's Bench. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).
It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn't bother it.

Where it came from
Released in the year 2000 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion, this Pineco card represents the second generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which introduced players to the Johto region. The set was designed to reflect the ecological diversity of the new game world, and Pineco was included as a common grass-type representative to flesh out the expanding roster of creatures available to players.
The card features artwork by Naoyo Kimura, a prolific illustrator known for bringing a distinct, painterly aesthetic to many early TCG cards. Kimura's approach for the Neo Discovery series focused on integrating Pokémon into naturalistic environments, and this illustration captures the character’s stationary, defensive nature, a design choice that earned it a place as a staple for deck-builders looking for reliable, low-cost utility cards during the game's formative years.
