Its attacks

Direct Hit

50

This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.

Dragon Finish

Discard 2 basic Fire Energy cards or 2 basic Water Energy cards attached to Salamence. If you discarded 2 basic Fire Energy cards, this attack does 100 damage to the Defending Pokémon. If you discarded 2 basic Water Energy cards, this attack does 100 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (If you can't discard cards, 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.

  1. A strength

    140 HP, and nothing in Secret Wonders goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  3. 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.

  4. Keep in mind

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Colorless +30. 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.
