If you have less cards in your hand than your opponent, draw cards until you have the same number of cards as your opponent. (If you have more or the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does nothing.)Si vous avez moins de cartes en main que votre adversaire, piochez des cartes jusqu'à ce que vous ayez le même nombre de cartes en main. (Si vous avez plus ou autant de cartes en main que votre adversaire, cette attaque est sans effet.)

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

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,126 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 Grass +10. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 2,554 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.
