Release information

Upon the release of Galactic's Conquest, Carnivine and four other promotional cards were made available to anyone who bought two booster packs from the expansion. These cards were the first available cards from the DPt-P promotional series. The English release of the card was for the Rising Rivals Blister Pack.

Trivia

• On the English print of the card, the card's HP reads "80HP" instead of "HP80" as is typical of a Generation IV-era card.
• The official card database entry for this card erroneously uses the Hiragana ず in the Japanese name of Grass Knot rather than the Katakana す used in the video games, which is used on the actual card.

Origin

Power Whip and Grass Knot are both moves in the Pokémon games that Carnivine can learn.
