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

    Teal Mask Ogerpon ex / Meganium / Arboliva ex runs it in 60 of the 85 lists we have read, seen across 54 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

    Mark J. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 1,241 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
