Its Ability

Wear Cloak

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Burmy Sandy Cloak is your Active Pokémon, you may search your discard pile for a basic Fighting Energy card and attach it to Burmy Sandy Cloak.

Its attacks

Sandy Cloak Tackle

10+

If Burmy Sandy Cloak has any Fighting Energy attached to it, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage.

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

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,427 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 Fire +10. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,427 tournament lists we have read, 1,255 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.
