The pokoSCORE looks at how fast copies of this card leave the listings we check every day, where collectors sell cards to each other, and compares that pace with the other cards in French that we follow. It says nothing about the price: a card can fly off the shelf and still be worth three euros.

A copy that’s gone has left the listings, and from the outside we can’t tell why. We count it if it hasn’t come back since, and only after 2 weeks when its seller had left all their listings that day. Hence the “at least”.

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.

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.
A strength
It has an Ability, Resolute Heart. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
A strength
Joltik runs it in 38 of the 38 lists we have read, seen across 35 different tournaments.
A strength
It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
A strength
Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.
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.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 7,097 tournament lists we have read, 1,645 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
