Its Ability

Conductivity

Whenever your opponent attaches an Energy card from his or her hand to 1 of his or her Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on that Pokémon.

Its attacks

Lightning Crush

40+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 40 more damage. If tails, discard an Energy attached to 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

    140 HP. Only 1 cards in HeartGold SoulSilver carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,427 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

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Flaaffy to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,427 tournament lists we have read, 1,216 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.
