Its attacks

Ambient Noise

Flip 2 coins. If the first coin is heads, this attack does 50 damage to the Defending Pokémon. If the first coin is tails, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If the second coin is heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. If the second coin is tails, your opponent can't play any Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn.

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 1 cards in Great Encounters carry more.

  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

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting +30. 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

Great Encounters landed here on 1 February 2008.
