Its Ability

Chaos MoveMouvement chaotique

Once during your turn (before your attack), if your opponent has 3 or fewer Prizes, you may move 1 damage counter from 1 Pokémon (yours or your opponent's) to another (even if it would Knock Out the other Pokémon). This power can't be used if Gengar is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois pendant votre tour (avant votre attaque), si votre adversaire a un maximum de 3 Récompenses, vous pouvez déplacer 1 marqueur de dégâts depuis un Pokémon (le vôtre ou celui de l'adversaire) vers un autre (même si cela met l'autre Pokémon K.O.). Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Ectoplasma est affecté par un État spécial.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 2,321 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.
