Its Ability

Chaos FlashFlash chaotique

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Golduck is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon (choose 1 if there are 2) is now Confused. This power can't be used if Golduck is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois pendant votre tour (avant votre attaque), si Akwakwak est votre Pokémon Actif, vous pouvez lancer une pièce. Si c'est face, le Pokémon Défenseur (choisissez en un s'il y en a deux) est maintenant Confus. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Akwakwak est affecté par un État Spécial.

Its attacks

Special BlowCoup spécial

30+

If the Defending Pokémon has any Special Energy cards attached to it, this attack does 30 damage plus 40 more damage.Si le Pokémon Défenseur possède une ou plusieurs cartes Énergie Spéciales, cette attaque inflige 70 dégâts.

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

    Special Blow hits for 30 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Sandstorm hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 336 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
