What it does
If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
Using the feelers on its head and tail, it picks up vibrations in the air to determine its prey's location and state.

Where it came from
The Venipede card, numbered 72/149, was released in the 2012 Boundaries Crossed expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing Pokémon-EX cards and Ace Spec trainer cards, bridging the gap between the Black & White series and the shifting mechanics of the later competitive era. Venipede, a Bug and Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, served as a common building block for the set, designed primarily for pack filler and limited-format play.
The illustration for this card was provided by artist kawayoo, known for their distinctively dynamic and often textured approach to Pokémon artwork. In this piece, kawayoo utilizes a vibrant, high-contrast aesthetic to highlight the creature's segmented, centipede-like anatomy. While the card is a common rarity and was widely distributed, it is frequently cited by collectors for its sharp visual style, which manages to make a smaller, non-evolving stage Pokémon feel physically imposing within the frame.
