Its Ability

Supreme CommandCommandant en chef

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose up to 2 cards from your opponent's hand without looking and put them face down next to the Defending Pokémon. (These cards are not in play or in your opponent's hand.) At the end of your opponent's next turn, return those cards to your opponent's hand. This power can't be used if Empoleon is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez choisir sans regarder jusqu'à 2 cartes de la main de votre adversaire et les placer face cachée à côté du Pokémon Défenseur. (Ces cartes ne sont ni en jeu ni dans la main de votre adversaire.) À la fin du prochain tour de votre adversaire, replacez ces cartes dans la main de votre adversaire. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Pingoléon est affecté par un État Spécial.

Its attacks

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

    140 HP. Only 1 cards in Diamond & Pearl carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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 Lightning +30. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 336 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

Diamond & Pearl landed here on 1 May 2007.
