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.

  1. A strength

    Blaziken / N's Zoroark ex runs it in 25 of the 25 lists we have read, seen across 20 different tournaments.

  2. A strength

    Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Combusken to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,351 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
