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 1 cards in Pitch Black carry more.
- It has an Ability, Binding Flame. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
- Mega Chandelure ex runs it in 34 of the 34 lists we have read, seen across 31 different tournaments.
- Mark J. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- 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.
- It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Lampent to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
- Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,987 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
