Its Ability

Relaxing Scent

As long as Erika's Ivysaur is your Active Pokémon, whenever an attack (even your own) does damage to any Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack only does half the damage to that Pokémon (rounded up to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Erika's Ivysaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Double Razor Leaf

40×

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads.

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, Relaxing Scent. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,868 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

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,868 tournament lists we have read, 1,125 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.
