The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is native to Europe, and it is also one of the several closely-related and morphologically similar species of Melolontha called cockchafers, alongside Melolontha hippocastani as the latter also shows sexual dimorphism, mating practices, and key physical features such as the number of lamellae.
- The cockchafer develops via metamorphosis, in which the beetle undergoes stages of eggs, larvae, pupae and adults.
- The mating behaviour is controlled by pheromones.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cockchafer article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
