Its attacks

Cosmic Draw

If your opponent has any Evolved Pokémon in play, draw 3 cards.

Lunar Blast

30

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    Lunar Blast hits for 30 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Sandstorm hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,201 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

Sandstorm landed here on 18 September 2003.
