Is Azuki’s Shocked like Paralyzed in Pokémon?
PartlyPartly. Both cost a card its next attack. Paralysis also stops retreating and ends after its owner’s next turn; Shocked is just one skipped untap, which also stops Defender and keeps the entity attackable.
Shocked in the Azuki TCG
A Shocked card does not untap during its next untap phase. On a tapped card that means a lost turn: it can’t attack, can’t use Defender (which needs it untapped), and as a tapped Garden entity it can still be attacked. Denmu shocks whatever attacks it.
The same
- Both cost one attack and then wear off by themselves.
Different
- Paralysis hits only the Active Pokémon and comes off if it moves to the Bench. Shocked can hit an entity or the attacking leader.
- Only tapped Azuki entities can be attacked, so a Shocked entity stays a target. Pokémon has no such rule.
