Its attacks

Call for Friend

Flip a coin. If heads, you may search your deck for a Basic Pokémon card with Brock in its name and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. (You can't use this attack if your Bench is full.)

Hook Shot

20

Don't apply Resistance for this attack. (Any other effects that would happen after applying Resistance still happen.)

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 5,006 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 ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,006 tournament lists we have read, 3,161 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

Gym Heroes landed here on 14 August 2000.
