Its Ability

Evasion Jutsu

If any damage is done to this Pokémon by attacks, flip a coin. If heads, prevent that damage.

Its attacks

Furious Shurikens

This attack does 50 damage to 2 of your opponent’s Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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

    140 HP. Only 3 cards in Detective Pikachu carry more.

  2. 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.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,384 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

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

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 3,405 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.
