Its attacks

Grind

10+

Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Dark Tyranitar.

Spinning Tail

Does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Bite Off

70+

If the Defending Pokémon is Pokémon-ex, this attack does 70 damage plus 50 more damage.

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

    120 HP, and nothing in Team Rocket Returns goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Bite Off hits for 70 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Team Rocket Returns hits harder for that price.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,426 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 a Stage 2. You have to come through Dark Pupitar to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read, 1,013 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 Returns landed here on 1 November 2004.
