Its attacks

Call for Family

Search your deck for up to 3 Basic Pokémon and put them onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Smash Short

10+

If the Defending Pokémon has a Pokémon Tool card attached to it, this attack does 10 damage plus 30 more damage. Discard that Pokémon Tool card, look at your opponent's hand, and discard any Pokémon Tool cards of the same name you find there.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  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 Fighting +20. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 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.
