ITS ATTACKS

Hammer-lanche100×Water + WaterDiscard the top 6 cards of your deck, and this attack does 100 damage for each Basic {W} Energy card that you discarded in this way.
Frost Barrier200Water + Water + WaterDuring your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes 30 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

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

  • 350 HP. Only 2 cards in Mega Evolution carry more.
  • mega-abomasnow-ex runs it in 28 of the 28 lists we have read, seen across 18 different tournaments.
  • Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • Retreat cost 4. 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 a Mega Evolution ex, and that is the most expensive rule in the game. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 3 Prizes instead of one. They need six to win, so 2 knockouts on this card are enough. Send it out knowing that.
  • Weakness Metal ×2. Against a Metal Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,150 tournament lists we have read, 464 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
