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.
A strength
It has an Ability, Poisonous Nest. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 4,426 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.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read, 993 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
