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 5 cards in Mega Evolution carry more.
- It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
- Mega Manectric ex / Eelektrik runs it in 34 of the 34 lists we have read, seen across 33 different tournaments.
- Mark I. 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.
- 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.
