Trivia

Even though Palpitoad and its evolved form are normally immune to Electric-type moves (the type to which the Lightning-type corresponds to) in the games, this card has a weakness to Lightning-type attacks. It might be because Tympole has a Lightning-type weakness, and Tympole is normally weak to Electric-type moves.

Origin

Round is a move in the Pokémon games that Palpitoad can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Black.
