Honcho's CommandL'ordre d'Honcho

Search your deck for up to 2 in any combination of Stadium cards or Trainer cards that has Team Galactic's Invention in its name, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.Choisissez dans votre deck n'importe quelle combinaison de jusqu'à 2 cartes Stade ou cartes Dresseur dont le nom comporte Invention de Team Galaxie. Montrez-les à votre adversaire et placez-les dans votre main. Ensuite, mélangez votre deck.

Target AttackAttaque ciblée

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. If that Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)Choisissez 1 des Pokémon de votre adversaire. Cette attaque lui inflige 20 dégâts. Si ce Pokémon possède déjà des marqueurs de dégât, cette attaque inflige 20 dégâts plus 20 dégâts supplémentaires. (Vous ne pouvez pas appliquer la Faiblesse et la Résistance aux Pokémon de Banc.)

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

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,126 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 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 355 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.
