Its attacks

G-Max Juggernaut

160+

This attack does 60 more damage for each extra Metal Energy attached to this Pokémon (in addition to this attack's cost). You can't add more than 120 damage in this way.

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

    330 HP, and nothing in Pokémon GO goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  3. 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 914 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  5. Keep in mind

    Mark F. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
