Its Ability

Elusive MasterMaître Évasif

Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is the last card in your hand, you may play it onto your Bench. If you do, draw 3 cards.Cette attaque inflige 50 dégâts à l’un des Pokémon de votre adversaire. Ces dégâts ne sont pas affectés par la Faiblesse ou la Résistance.

Its attacks

Mist SlashTranche-Brume

130

This attack’s damage isn’t affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on your opponent’s Active Pokémon.Le Pokémon Actif de votre adversaire est maintenant Confus.

Dark Mist GXBrume Obscure GX

Put 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your opponent’s hand.

(Vous ne pouvez utiliser qu’une attaque GX par partie.)

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

    Mist Slash hits for 130 on 2 Energy. Nothing in SM Black Star Promos hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,466 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 Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,466 tournament lists we have read, 3,457 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.
