Its Ability

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Salamence is your Active Pokémon, you may switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with 1 of the Defending Pokémon. Your opponent chooses the Defending Pokémon to switch. This power can't be used if Salamence is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Agility

Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Salamence during your opponent's next turn.

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

  • 120 HP. Only 4 cards in Dragon carry more.
  • It has an Ability, Dragon Wind. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • 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.
  • It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Shelgon to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
  • Weakness Colorless ×2. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 2,362 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.
