What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Your Active Pokémon and the Defending Pokémon are no longer Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned. This power can't be used if Venusaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Remove a number of damage counters from Venusaur equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance) (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Venusaur has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
This plant blooms when it is absorbing solar energy. It stays on the move to seek sunlight.

Where it came from
The Venusaur Wizards Black Star Promo, card number 13, was released in 1999 as part of a promotional campaign to support the burgeoning Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was distributed through the 'Pokémon League' initiative, which encouraged players to visit local hobby stores to participate in organized play and earn rewards for their dedication to the game.
The card utilizes the classic Ken Sugimori artwork characteristic of early Wizards of the Coast-era releases, maintaining the iconic, grounded aesthetic that defined the original generation of Pokémon. As one of the marquee grass-type evolutions, its inclusion as a promo was intended to highlight the complexity of the game's mechanics for new players, and it remains a staple for collectors interested in the foundational history of the English-language card sets.
