2 Colorless Energy: Stiffen

Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all damage done to Metapod during your opponent's next turn. (Any other effects of attacks still happen.)

2 Grass Energy: Stun Spore20

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

It is vulnerable to attack because its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tender body.
