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

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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 Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 2,321 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

  5. Keep in mind

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