Its Ability

Cruel Charge

When you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench during your turn, you may attach up to 2 Psychic Energy cards from your hand to this Pokémon.

Its attacks

Psylaser

Discard all Psychic Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 120 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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

  2. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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 Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,313 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  5. Keep in mind

    Mark E. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
