Its Ability

Frog SongChant de crapaud

Whenever Politoed's attack damages the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), if there are more than 3 Poliwags, Poliwhirls, Poliwraths, and/or Politoeds in play (including your opponent's), that attack does 40 more damage (no matter how many heads you get). This power stops working while Politoed is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.Quand l'attaque de Tarpaud fait des dégâts au Pokémon Défenseur (après application de la Faiblesse et de la Résistance), s'il y a plus de 3 Ptitards, Têtartes, Tartards et/ou Tarpauds en jeu (y compris chez votre adversaire), cette attaque fait 40 dégâts supplémentaires (quel que soit le nombre de faces obtenu). Ce pouvoir cesse de faire effet si Tarpaud est Endormi, Confus ou Paralysé.

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

    100 HP, and nothing in Neo Discovery goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Frog Song. 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 4,126 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 Poliwhirl to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 2,554 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.
