Its Ability

Jet StreamForce courant

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Blastoise is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to Blastoise, if any. Then, if there are any Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon, choose 1 of them and discard it. This power can't be used if Blastoise is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois pendant votre tour (avant votre attaque), si Tortank est votre Pokémon Actif, vous pouvez lancer une pièce. Si c'est face, défaussez-vous d'une carte Énergie attachée à Tortank, s'il en possède une. Ensuite, s'il y a des cartes Énergie attachées au Pokémon Défenseur, choisissez-en une et obligez votre adversaire à s'en défausser. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Tortank est affecté par un État spécial.

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

    100 HP. Only 4 cards in Expedition Base Set carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  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

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 355 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.
