Its Ability

Eye of DisasterŒil du chaos

As long as Absol is your Active Pokémon, whenever your opponent puts a Basic Pokémon from his or her hand onto his or her Bench, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon.Tant qu’Absol est votre Pokémon Actif, chaque fois que votre adversaire ajoute un Pokémon de base de sa main à son Banc, placez 2 marqueurs de dégât sur ce Pokémon.

Its attacks

Vicious ClawPince vicieuse

70

Choose 1 Pokémon from your hand and put it in the Lost Zone. (If you can't put a Pokémon in the Lost Zone, this attack does nothing.)Choisissez un Pokémon dans votre main et placez-le dans la Zone Perdue. (Si vous ne pouvez pas, cette attaque ne fait rien.)

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    Vicious Claw hits for 70 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Triumphant hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 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.
