Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep. During Pokémon Checkup, your opponent flips 2 coins instead of 1. If either of them is tails, that Pokémon is still Asleep.Le Pokémon Actif de votre adversaire est maintenant Endormi. Pendant le Contrôle Pokémon, votre adversaire lance 2 pièces au lieu d'une. S'il obtient au moins un côté pile, ce Pokémon-là reste Endormi.

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    Mark G. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
