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

  2. A strength

    Crustle runs it in 3 of the 74 lists we have read, seen across 3 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  4. 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.

  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.
