Its Ability
Raging Roar
When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may attach 1 Darkness Energy from your discard pile to this Pokémon for each Prize card your opponent has taken.
Its attacks
Dark Mountain
150+Discard the top 2 cards of your deck. This attack does 50 more damage for each Supporter card discarded in this way.
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
- Dark Mountain hits for 150 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Fates Collide hits harder for that price.
- It has an Ability, Raging Roar. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
- Retreat cost 4. 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.
