Its Ability

Single Strike RoarRugissement Poing Final

Once during your turn, you may search your deck for a Single Strike Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Single Strike Pokémon. Then, shuffle your deck. If you attached Energy to a Pokémon in this way, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon.Une fois pendant votre tour, vous pouvez chercher dans votre deck une carte Énergie Poing Final, puis l'attacher à l'un de vos Pokémon Poing Final. Mélangez ensuite votre deck. Si vous avez attaché de l'Énergie à un Pokémon de cette façon, placez 2 marqueurs de dégâts sur ce Pokémon-là.

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 has an Ability, Single Strike Roar. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. 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.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read, 3,412 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  4. Keep in mind

    Mark E. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
