Its Ability

Festival Lead

If Festival Grounds is in play, this Pokémon may use an attack it has twice. If the first attack Knocks Out your opponent's Active Pokémon, you may attack again after your opponent chooses a new Active Pokémon.

Its attacks

Whirlpool

10

Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy from your opponent's Active 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

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

  3. A strength

    Seaking runs it in 38 of the 39 lists we have read, seen across 33 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 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.

  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.
