StadiumBeginner to play

What this card does

Places two extra damage counters on any Poisoned Pokemon at the end of each turn.

This effect applies to both your own Pokemon and your opponent's.

What it does

Virbank City Gym

Put 2 more damage counters on Poisoned Pokémon (both yours and your opponent’s) between turns.

This card makes poison damage much more dangerous by adding two counters every turn. It creates a high risk situation because you must be careful not to hurt your own team while trying to weaken theirs.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on poisoning strategies or can protect their own Pokemon from the extra damage. It is less useful for decks without poison mechanics.

Strengths
  • High damage output
  • Turn-based effect
  • Controls the board
Watch out for
  • Hurts own team
  • Requires poison setup
  • Uncommon rarity
Pro tip

Use this card when your opponent has more poisoned Pokemon than you do to maximise the damage advantage.

Good to know

Virbank City is a fictional location in the Unova region known for its industrial port.

Note for the parent

Explain to your child that this card hurts everyone with poison, so they need to check which of their Pokemon are affected before playing it.
