Its Ability

Extend

As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, your turn does not end when you play Steven’s Resolve.

Its attacks

Meteor Mash

During your next turn, this Pokémon’s Meteor Mash attack does 60 more damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

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
Meteor Mash hits for 60 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Celestial Storm hits harder for that price.
A strength
It has an Ability, Extend. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
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.
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.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Metang to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
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.

Who plays it
