Its Ability
Motor Drive
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your discard pile for a Lightning Energy card and attach it to Electivire. This power can't be used if Electivire is affected by a Special Condition.
Its attacks
Discharge
50×Discard all Lightning Energy attached to Electivire. Flip a coin for each Lightning Energy you discarded. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads.
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, Motor Drive. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
- None of the 3,240 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
- Weakness Fighting +30. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,240 tournament lists we have read, 756 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Who plays it
None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
