  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    Alakazam / Dusknoir runs it in 88 of the 88 lists we have read, seen across 50 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
