About this card
"It looks as if it is always crying. It is actually adjusting its body's fluid levels by eliminating excess."
Poké-Power: Baby Evolution
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Sudowoodo from your hand onto Bonsly (this counts as evolving Bonsly) and remove all damage counters from Bonsly.
Fake Tears
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent can't play any Trainer cards from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn, and any damage done to Bonsly by attacks is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Weakness:G+10
Retreat cost:C

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Bonsly is real?
Bonsly is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
