Its Ability

Type Shift

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Rotom's type is Psychic until the end of your turn.

Its attacks

Poltergeist

30+

Look at your opponent's hand. This attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium card in your opponent's hand.

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

    70 HP. Only 5 cards in POP Series 9 carry more.

  2. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  3. A strength

    Poltergeist hits for 30 on 2 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 9 hits harder for that price.

  4. A strength

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

  5. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  6. 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.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness +20. 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.

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.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 50 Rotom cards on one page, priciest first.
