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
- 310 HP, and nothing in Celebrations goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
- It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
- Max Balloon hits for 160 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Celebrations hits harder for that price.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- None of the 3,271 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 Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,271 tournament lists we have read, 280 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
- Mark E, and that letter has already left the format. You can still play it at home, or keep it in your binder. In a Standard tournament, no: the letters allowed today are H, I, and J.
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.
