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

    90 HP. Only 2 cards in POP Series 9 carry more.

  2. 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.

  3. A strength

    Slam hits for 30 on 2 Energy. Nothing in POP Series 9 hits harder for that price.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 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 +20. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 1,261 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.
