Its Ability

Cheerful Voice

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. If you do, your turn ends. During your next turn, each of Ludicolo's attacks does 60 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). This power can't be used if Ludicolo is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Mad Dance

20

The Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Best Dance

60

After doing damage, remove from Ludicolo the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. Ludicolo can't use Best Dance during your next turn.

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, Cheerful Voice. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Lombre to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning +30. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 336 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.

When it came out
