Its Ability

Strange Barrier

Whenever an attack by a Basic Pokémon (including your own) does 20 or more damage to Erika's Dratini (after applying Weakness and Resistance), reduce that damage to 10. (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Erika's Dratini is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Tail Strike

10+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 10 damage.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Strange Barrier. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,299 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.

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.
