Then, shuffle your deck.自分の番に、このカードを手札から出して進化させたとき、1回使える。自分の山札から「基本エネルギー」を5枚まで選び、自分の「マリィのポケモン」に好きなようにつける。そして山札を切る。

Its attacks

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, Punk Up. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex / Froslass runs it in 57 of the 57 lists we have read, seen across 54 different tournaments.
A strength
Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
Keep in mind
It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Marnie's Morgrem to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 3,405 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
