Turn your card over and read the text on the back: that is what sets the price. To a buyer, a French copy and its English twin are two different cards. We buy this one in French, and the amount above is for the language you picked.

Your card’s condition

Your offer depends on the card’s printing, edition and condition. We check its condition when it arrives.

Its Ability

Destructive Headbutting

Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may use this Ability. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon.

Its attacks

Rowdy Hammer

150

During your next turn, attacks used by this Pokémon do 150 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before 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.

  1. A strength

    330 HP. Only 4 cards in Pitch Black carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Destructive Headbutting. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

    Mark J. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,299 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Cranidos to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 2,021 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
