Its Ability

Plus Charge

Once during your turn (before your attack), if any of your Pokémon were Knocked Out during your opponent's last turn, you may search your discard pile for up to 2 basic Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. You can't use more than 1 Plus Charge Poké-Power each turn. This power can't be used if Plusle is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Tag Play (+)

20

If you have Minun on your Bench, you may do 20 damage to any 1 Benched Pokémon instead. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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 +10. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 877 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.
