Its Ability

Drive Off

As long as Light Arcanine is your Active Pokémon, once during your turn (before your attack), if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. This power can't be used while Light Arcanine is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Its attacks

Gentle Flames

50

If the Defending Pokémon is a Baby Pokémon, this attack does 10 damage instead of 50. If the Defending Pokémon is a Basic Pokémon, this attack does 30 damage instead of 50.

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

    100 HP, and nothing in Neo Destiny goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,919 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 Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,919 tournament lists we have read, 2,383 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.
