270-

This attack does 10 less damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon.

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

    340 HP, and nothing in Paldea Evolved goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Burning Voice hits for 270 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Paldea Evolved hits harder for that price.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

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

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 1,351 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  8. Keep in mind

    Mark G, and that letter has already left the format. You can still play it at home, or keep it in your binder. In a Standard tournament, no: the letters allowed today are H, I, and J.

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.

Paldea Evolved landed here on 9 June 2023.
