Targeted SparkÉtincelle Ciblée

This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. <em>(Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)</em>Cette attaque inflige 20 dégâts à l'un des Pokémon de votre adversaire. <em>(N'appliquez ni la Faiblesse ni la Résistance aux Pokémon de Banc.)</em>

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. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,384 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

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 1,210 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
