Its attacks

Karate Chop

40-

Damage from this attack is reduced by 10 for each damage counter on Primeape.

Sudden Charge

40

Primeape does 10 damage to itself. Then, your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon, if any.

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

    Karate Chop hits for 40 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Aquapolis hits harder for that price.

  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 Psychic ×2. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,201 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.

When it came out
