Its Ability

Energy Drain

If an opponent's attack does damage to Koga's Muk (even if Koga's Muk is Knocked Out), flip a coin. If heads and if it has any, choose 1 Energy card attached to the attacking Pokémon and discard it. This power can't be used if Koga's Muk is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed when your opponent attacks.

Sludge Whirlpool

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.

A strength
It has an Ability, Energy Drain. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
Keep in mind
None of the 4,426 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.
Keep in mind
Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read, 2,602 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it
