Its Ability

Evolution Helper

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Nidoqueen is on your Bench, you may search your deck for a card that evolves from your Active Pokémon and attach it to your Active Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) Shuffle your deck afterward.

Its attacks

Double Claw

30+

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads

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

    110 HP. Only 1 cards in Skyridge carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,726 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Nidorina to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,726 tournament lists we have read, 2,823 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Skyridge landed here on 12 May 2003.
