Its attacks

Smash Turn

30

After your attack, you may switch Blastoise with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

Rocket Tackle

60

Blastoise does 10 damage to itself. Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all damage done to Blastoise by attacks during your opponent's next turn.

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

    120 HP, and nothing in POP Series 3 goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Smash Turn hits for 30 on 2 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 3 hits harder for that price.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 336 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.

When it came out

POP Series 3 landed here on 1 April 2006.
