Its Ability

Hot PlateAssiette chaude

As long as Dark Magcargo is your Active Pokémon, whenever a player puts a Baby Pokémon or Basic Pokémon onto his or her Bench from his or her hand, this power does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power stops working if Dark Magcargo is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.Tant que Volcaropod obscur est votre Pokémon Actif, quand un joueur place un Bébé Pokémon ou un Pokémon de base sur son Banc depuis sa main, ce pouvoir inflige 10 dégâts à ce Pokémon. (N'appliquez ni la Faiblesse ni la Résistance.) Ce pouvoir cesse de fonctionner si Volcaropod obscur est Endormi, Confus ou Paralysé.

Its attacks

Ball of FlameBoule de flammes

20

You may discard a Energy card attached to Dark Magcargo when you use this attack. If you do and if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 20 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)Vous pouvez vous défausser d'une carte Énergie attachée à Volcaropod obscur quand vous utilisez cette attaque. Si vous le faites, et si votre adversaire a des Pokémon sur son Banc, choisissez l'un d'eux et cette attaque lui inflige 20 dégâts (Ne pas appliquer la Faiblesse et la Résistance aux Pokémon du Banc.)

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, Hot Plate. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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 Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 1,533 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.
