Its attacks

Target Together

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon and flip a coin for each of your Pokémon in play that has "Tauros" in its name. This attack does 50 damage to the chosen Pokémon for each heads. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched 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

    Paldean Tauros runs it in 21 of the 21 lists we have read, seen across 20 different tournaments.

  2. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  3. A strength

    Mark J. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,527 tournament lists we have read, 811 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
