What it does
If the Defending Pokémon is a Basic Pokémon, it can't attack during your opponent's next turn.
It doesn't like to be taken care of. It's difficult to bond with since it won't listen to its Trainer.

Where it came from
Piplup, the penguin-like starter Pokémon introduced in the Sinnoh region, made its appearance as card number 54/236 in the Sun & Moon—Cosmic Eclipse expansion, released in late 2019. This set served as the grand finale of the Sun & Moon era, designed to celebrate the history of the trading card game by incorporating both modern mechanics and nostalgic callbacks. As a common card, it was distributed widely to players and collectors, representing the accessible, approachable nature of the franchise.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by sui, who has contributed numerous designs to the Pokémon TCG. The illustration captures Piplup in a clean, vibrant aesthetic that emphasizes its water-type nature and inquisitive personality. Within the context of the Cosmic Eclipse set, which was lauded for its inclusion of character-focused art, this card maintains the consistent design language established for basic water-type Pokémon, prioritizing clarity and charm for fans of the Sinnoh region.
