Archaludon

Archaludon has appeared in several sets: Stellar Crown (SCR 107) and Prismatic Evolutions (PRE 70). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • It has an Ability, Metal Bridge. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
  • Archaludon ex runs it in 3 of the 24 lists we have read, seen across 3 different tournaments.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,150 tournament lists we have read, 793 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
  • Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.
