The short version
Empoleon is a Stage 2 Water-type Pokémon with 130 HP, weak to Lightning and a retreat cost of 1. It is card 071 of 117 in Mega Shine, printed at Art Rare, and it turns up in the Mega Shine pack. It evolves from Prinplup. 42 cards in the expansion are rarer than this one. Opening for it means about 106 packs to be reasonably sure of one, which at 2 free packs a day is 8 weeks. The art is by kawayoo, who has 54 other cards in the game.
It avoids unnecessary disputes, but it will mercilessly decimate anything that threatens the safety of its colony.
