Its Ability

Crushing Charge

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard the top card of your deck. If it’s a basic Energy card, attach it to 1 of your Pokémon.

Its attacks

Lava Flow

50+

Discard any amount of basic Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 50 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.

Burning Magma GX

Discard the top 5 cards of your opponent’s deck. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

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

    210 HP. Only 2 cards in Lost Thunder carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Crushing Charge. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    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.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,331 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

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,331 tournament lists we have read, 1,361 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

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.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 27 Magcargo cards on one page, priciest first.
