Its Ability

Energy Trans

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), move a Grass Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon. This power can't be used if Sceptile is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Tail Rap

50×

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads.

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

    100 HP. Only 2 cards in POP Series 4 carry more.

  2. A strength

    Tail Rap hits for 50 on 3 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 4 hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

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

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 816 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.
