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, ACE Nullifier. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

    Alakazam / Dudunsparce runs it in 19 of the 34 lists we have read, seen across 19 different tournaments.

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 816 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  6. Keep in mind

    Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.
