Its Ability

Shivery ChillFrisson Glacé

Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, you may search your deck for up to 2 Basic Energy cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.Une fois pendant votre tour, si ce Pokémon est sur le Poste Actif, vous pouvez chercher dans votre deck jusqu'à 2 cartes Énergie de base, les montrer, puis les ajouter à votre main.

Its attacks

Hail BladeLame Grêle

60×

You may discard any amount of Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 60 damage for each card you discarded in this way.Vous pouvez défausser autant d'Énergies que vous le voulez de vos Pokémon. Cette attaque inflige 60 dégâts pour chaque carte défaussée de cette façon.

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

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

  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 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 an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Metal ×2. Against a Metal Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 529 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  6. Keep in mind

    Mark G. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
