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

    130 HP. Only 2 cards in Platinum carry more.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 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.

  3. Keep in mind

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

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning +30. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 461 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.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 22 Empoleon cards on one page, priciest first.
