Its attacks

Psypunch

20

Bench Manipulation

20×

Your opponent flips a number of coins equal to the number of Pokémon on his or her Bench. This attack does 20 damage times the number of tails. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for this attack. (Any other effects that would happen after applying Weakness and Resistance still happen.)

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

    Psypunch hits for 20 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Team Rocket hits harder for that price.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 2,208 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.

When it came out

Team Rocket landed here on 24 April 2000.
