Callery Pear

Pyrus calleryana

A perennial-herb Competitor with Resprout โ€” a resilient buffer at home, a widespread invasive attacker in North America.

Overview

Callery Pear is a perennial-herb card (mechanically classed as perennial-herb regardless of its tree-like habit). Native to China and Vietnam, it plays a buffer; across the eastern United States, where its escaped cultivars spread aggressively, it plays an attacker. See nativity.

Moves

Perennial-herb kit: level-1 starter, level-10 free ability, level-18 advanced attack, uncapped damage. Native power is baseline; invasive moves hit roughly 1.75ร— harder.

Abilities

Resprout โ€” survives one lethal hit per battle at ~25% HP. See abilities.

Features

No innate keyword; poison-rider/thorns-recoil only if the infobox flags them. Cheap 10-Sun retreat keeps it mobile, so field gear can commit to a role โ€” defensive as native, offensive as invasive.

Stats

Moderate HP, level-scaling Def, light Sun, 10-Sun retreat. Native โ†’ HP ร—1.15 cushion plus bench HP overshield; invasive โ†’ ATK spike and Faustian bench self-damage per damaging attack.

Weaknesses & Resistances

Competitor group: ร—1.5 into Ruderal (annual-forb, grass, aquatic, bulb); ร—0.667 into Specialist (succulent, conifer, fern, epiphyte).

Gameplay uses

Resprout and a cheap retreat make it a flexible PvE attacker โ€” poke, survive a hit, and rotate away from Specialist counters. Nothing in its kit is flashy, so treat it as a dependable coin-farmer that wants bench backup to cover Faustian chip and the KO bounty. A good, well-rounded collection card.
