Its attacks

Steel Generator

If the Defending Pokémon has a Poké-Power or Poké-Body, choose up to 2 basic Energy cards attached to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon and attach them to the Defending Pokémon.

Attach this card to 1 of your Evolved Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex and Pokémon that has an owner in its name) in play. That Pokémon may use this card's attack instead of its own. At the end of your turn, discard Ancient Technical Machine [Steel].

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 retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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.

Who plays it
