Its Ability

Sparkle Veil

As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, your Pokémon take 30 less damage from attacks from your opponent's Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Sensitive Ray

50+

If you played a Supporter card from your hand during this turn, this attack does 70 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

    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 has an Ability, Sparkle Veil. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

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

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Metal ×2. Against a Metal Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 529 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  6. Keep in mind

    Mark D. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
