Its Ability

Reactive Booster

Each React Energy card attached to all of your Huntail and Gorebyss provides 2 Energy of every type but has no effect other than providing Energy.

Its attacks

Hydro Pump

30+

Does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Gorebyss but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 40 damage in this way.

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

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

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 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.
