Its attacks

Dragon Rage

80

Flip 2 coins. If either of them is tails, this attack does nothing.

Jet Sword

100

Discard 2 Energy attached to Garchomp and this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched 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

    130 HP, and nothing in POP Series 9 goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  3. A strength

    Dragon Rage hits for 80 on 1 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 9 hits harder for that price.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 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.

  5. Keep in mind

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

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Colorless +30. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 4,056 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.
