Its Ability

Dragon Pulse

Once during your turn (before your attack), when you put Garchomp LV.X from your hand onto your Active Garchomp, you may flip 3 coins. For each heads, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.

Its attacks

no cost

Restore

Search your discard pile for a Pokémon (excluding Pokémon LV.X) and put it onto your Bench as a Basic Pokémon. Then, you may search your discard pile for up to 3 basic Energy cards and attach them to that 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

    140 HP, and nothing in Majestic Dawn goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,726 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 Colorless ×2. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,726 tournament lists we have read, 3,419 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
