Its Ability

Power CirculationCirculation de puissance

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your discard pile for a basic Energy card, show it to your opponent, and put it on top of your deck. If you do, put 1 damage counter on Mantine. This power can't be used if Mantine is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez choisir dans votre pile de défausse une carte Énergie de base. Montrez-la à votre adversaire et placez-la au dessus de votre deck. Placez alors 1 marqueur de dégât sur Demanta. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Demanta est affecté par un État Spécial.

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

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

  3. A strength

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

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. 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.
