Its Ability

Crush DrawPioche broyage

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is a basic Energy card, attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. If not, put the card back on top of your deck. This power can't be used if Tyranitar is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez retourner la carte du dessus de votre deck. Si c'est une carte Énergie de base, attachez-la à 1 de vos Pokémon. Sinon, replacez la carte au dessus du deck. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Tyranocif est affecté par un État Spécial.

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

    120 HP, and nothing in Delta Species goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,435 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 Pupitar to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,435 tournament lists we have read, 2,110 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.
