2013 Pokemon Company Legendary Treasures Empoleon #35/113

Empoleon is a Stage 2 Water-type Pokémon with 140 HP, evolving from Prinplup. This regal emperor penguin Pokémon commands the battlefield with two powerful attacks: Surf for 50 damage and the fearsome Emperor's Strike, which deals 70+ damage — and if Empoleon has fewer remaining HP than the Defending Pokémon, it hits for an additional 60 damage, rewarding a come-from-behind fighting spirit. Its weakness is Lightning (×2), with no resistance, and a two-energy retreat cost. The card's flavor text captures Empoleon's fierce pride perfectly: "If anyone were to hurt its pride, it would slash them with wings that can cleave through an ice floe." Illustrated by kawayoo, this is card 35/113 from the 2013 Legendary Treasures set.
