  1. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,414 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.

  2. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,414 tournament lists we have read, 2,093 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.
