Its Ability

Gluey SlimeBave gluante

As long as Ariados is in play, each player must pay an additional Colorless to retreat his or her Active Pokémon. Gluey Slime can't make a player pay more than an additional Colorless to retreat a Pokémon, even if there is more than 1 Ariados in play.Tant que Migalos est en jeu, chaque joueur doit payer un supplémentaire pour faire battre en retraite son Pokémon Actif. Bave gluante ne peut pas obliger un joueur à payer plus qu'un supplémentaire pour faire battre en retraite un Pokémon, même s'il y a plus d'un Migalos en jeu.

Its attacks

Si c'est face, cette attaque inflige 20 dégâts plus 10 dégâts supplémentaires. Si c'est pile, cette attaque inflige 20 dégâts et le Pokémon Défenseur est maintenant Paralysé.

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

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

  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

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 914 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.
