Pokédex entry
Rubbing its fleece generates electricity. You'll want to pet it because it's cute, but if you use your bare hand, you'll get a painful shock.
綿毛がこすれ電気がたまる。かわいいからと素手で触るとバチッと痺れて痛いのだ。

Trivia

The Crown Zenith print's artwork is part of a combined illustration with eight other cards from the Galarian Gallery subset: Riolu, Swablu, Duskull, Bidoof, Pikachu, Turtwig, Paras, and Poochyena. The nine cards do not follow conventional ordering in any set localization and are instead ordered according to how they compose the larger illustration. In Asia, the VSTAR Universe prints of these cards were always enclosed together in a single pack, colloquially referred to as "god packs", and were difficult to obtain.

Origin

Electro Ball is a move in the Pokémon games that Mareep can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Moon.
