DeflectorProtection

During your opponent's next turn, whenever Chikorita takes damage, divide that damage in half (rounded down to the nearest 10). (Any other effects still happen.)Pendant le prochain tour de votre adversaire, à chaque fois que Germignon reçoit des dégâts, divisez ces dégâts par deux (arrondis à la dizaine la plus proche). (Tout autre effet reste actif.)

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 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 5,624 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

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,624 tournament lists we have read, 1,308 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.
