Its Ability

Bench Guard

As long as Brock's Rhydon is Benched, whenever 1 of your Benched Pokémon is damaged, you may do 10 of that damage to Brock's Rhydon instead. (If more than 1 of your Benched Pokémon is damaged at the same time, you may use this power once for each of them.)

Its attacks

Lariat

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.

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

    80 HP. Only 5 cards in Gym Heroes carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 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 Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 3,561 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.
