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

  2. A strength

    Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,392 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 an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 2,174 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
