Its attacks
Darkness Howl
This attack does 20 damage to each Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent's) (excluding any Darkness Pokémon). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Megaton Tail
120Discard the top 3 cards of your deck.
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.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- 160 HP, and nothing in Unleashed goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.
- Megaton Tail hits for 120 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Unleashed hits harder for that price.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- 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.
- 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.
- It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Pupitar to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
- Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,299 tournament lists we have read, 760 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.
