Its attacks

Green Heal

Remove 4 damage counters from each of your Pokémon that has Grass Energy attached. If that Pokémon has less than 4 damage counters, remove all of them.

Poison Ring

Slashing Strike

100

Sceptile ex can't use Slashing Strike during your 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.

  1. A strength

    150 HP, and nothing in Team Magma vs Team Aqua goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Slashing Strike hits for 100 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Team Magma vs Team Aqua hits harder for that price.

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

  5. 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.

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.
