Its Ability

Dragon Intimidation

If Garchomp is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Garchomp is Knocked Out), choose an Energy card attached to the Attacking Pokémon and put it into your opponent's hand.

Its attacks

Guard Claw

40

During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Garchomp by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Speed Impact

120-

Does 120 damage minus 20 damage for each Energy attached to the Defending 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. Only 3 cards in Supreme Victors carry more.

  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

    Speed Impact hits for 120 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Supreme Victors hits harder for that price.

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 6,044 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

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

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Colorless +30. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 6,044 tournament lists we have read, 4,372 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.
