Its Ability

Mist

Any damage done to Altaria ex by attacks from Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Dive

20

Dragon Mist

70

This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.

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

    Dragon Mist hits for 70 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Emerald hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

  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

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

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.

When it came out

Emerald landed here on 9 May 2005.
