Its attacks

Frost BreathSouffle Glacé

120

Spiky Storm GXTempête Piquante GX

This attack does 100 damage to each of your opponent’s Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)Cette attaque inflige 100 dégâts à chacun des Pokémon de votre adversaire ayant au moins un marqueur de dégâts. (N’appliquez ni la Faiblesse ni la Résistance aux Pokémon de Banc.) (Vous ne pouvez utiliser qu’une attaque GX par partie.)

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

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

  2. 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.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Metal ×2. Against a Metal Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 529 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.
