Its attacks

Hydro Lander

160

Attach up to 3 Basic Energy cards from your discard pile to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like.

Sonic Dive

Discard 2 Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 120 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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

    320 HP. Only 2 cards in Paradox Rift carry more.

  2. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  3. A strength

    Hydro Lander hits for 160 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Paradox Rift hits harder for that price.

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  6. Keep in mind

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

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 281 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  8. Keep in mind

    Mark G. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
