Its attacks

Agility

Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Dragonite during your opponent's next turn.

Heavy Impact

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

    100 HP. Only 4 cards in Delta Species carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  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

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Dragonair to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Colorless ×2. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,721 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

Delta Species landed here on 31 October 2005.
