Pokédex entry

Garchomp makes its home in volcanic mountains. It flies through the sky as fast as a jet airplane, hunting down as much prey as it can.

火山性の 山に すみつく。 ジェット機に 負けない 速さで 空を 飛び 獲物を 狩りまくる。

Trivia

This card received an erratum on February 9, 2022 that corrected the card text on the Sonic Slip Ability. The original intention of this Ability was to provide protection only from the opponent's attacks, and not from the player's. The new text reads, "When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may prevent all damage from and effects of attacks from your opponent's Pokémon done to this Pokémon until the end of your opponent's next turn.".

Origin

Dragonblade is an attack that first appeared on Garchomp from Dragons Exalted. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Sword.
