Its attacks
Jet Punch
30This attack also does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Justice Kick
210If this Pokémon didn't move from the Bench to the Active Spot this turn, this attack does nothing.
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
- Justice Kick hits for 210 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Paldean Fates hits harder for that price.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- None of the 3,271 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.
- Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,271 tournament lists we have read, 280 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
- Mark G, and that letter has already left the format. You can still play it at home, or keep it in your binder. In a Standard tournament, no: the letters allowed today are H, I, and J.
Who plays it
