Crashing Headbutt200Darkness + ColorlessDiscard the top 3 cards of your opponent's deck.

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

  • 330 HP. Only 1 cards in Surging Sparks carry more.
  • hydreigon-ex runs it in 41 of the 41 lists we have read, seen across 37 different tournaments.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
  • 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.
  • It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Zweilous to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
  • Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,150 tournament lists we have read, 1,922 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
  • Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.
