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

    120 HP, and nothing in Team Rocket Returns goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,624 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 a Stage 2. You have to come through Seadra to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,624 tournament lists we have read, 461 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.
