Turn your card over and read the text on the back: that is what sets the price. To a buyer, a French copy and its English twin are two different cards. We buy this one in French, and the amount above is for the language you picked.

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

    Mega Manectric ex / Eelektrik runs it in 33 of the 34 lists we have read, seen across 32 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    Mark J. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 760 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
