Its Ability

Intense Voltage

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), if Elekid is anywhere under Electivire, you may move a Lightning Energy attached to 1 of your Pokémon to Electivire. This power can't be used if Electivire is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Giga Impact

60

You may discard all  Lightning Energy attached to Electivire. If you do, this attack's base damage is 120 instead of 60.

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, Intense Voltage. 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 3,810 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 Fighting +20. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 875 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
