Its Ability

Rubbish Collecting

This Pokémon may have up to 2 Pokémon Tools attached to it. If it loses this Ability, discard Pokémon Tools from it until only 1 remains.

Its attacks

G-Max Malodor

120

Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. During your opponent's next turn, that Pokémon can't retreat.

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

    330 HP, and nothing in Evolving Skies goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    G-Max Malodor hits for 120 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Evolving Skies hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. 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.

  7. 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.
