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

    280 HP. Only 2 cards in 30th Celebration carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. A strength

    Gengar ex runs it in 21 of the 38 lists we have read, seen across 13 different tournaments.

  4. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
