What it does
Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, when you attach a Grass Energy card from your hand to it, you may switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon.
This attack does 50 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. If this Pokémon has at least 2 extra Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), heal all damage from all of your Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)
TAG TEAM rule: When your TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.

Where it came from
The Venusaur & Snivy-GX card, designated as SM229 in the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series, was released in 2019 as part of a specialized Tag Team GX collection. These cards highlighted the mechanics introduced in the Sun & Moon era, which paired iconic Pokémon together to emphasize cooperative play. The design features a vibrant, cohesive illustration of the two Grass-type Pokémon, crafted to reflect their shared elemental nature and evolutionary history within the franchise.
The card was primarily distributed as a promotional inclusion, often appearing in specific Tag Team tins or collection boxes tailored for fans of the late Sun & Moon expansion cycle. Like many promotional cards from this era, it was designed by internal artists at Creatures Inc., who focused on capturing a dynamic, illustrative style that distinguished Tag Team cards from standard booster pack pulls. It remains a notable piece for collectors focusing on the unique dual-Pokémon aesthetic that defined this chapter of the trading card game.
