Its Ability

Scram

If Brock's Primeape ever has exactly 10 HP left, shuffle it and all cards attached to it into your deck. This power stops working while Brock's Primeape is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Mega Thrash

60

Brock's Primeape does 20 damage to itself. If there is a Stadium card in play, discard it.

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

    Mega Thrash hits for 60 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Gym Challenge hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,868 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,868 tournament lists we have read, 2,889 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.
