Its attacks

Celestial Roar

Discard the top 3 cards of your deck. If any of those cards are Energy cards, attach them to this Pokémon.

Dragon Burst

60×

Discard all basic <span class="energy-symbol Fire" title="Fire">Fire</span> Energy or all basic <span class="energy-symbol Lightning" title="Lightning">Lightning</span> Energy attached to this Pokémon. This attack does 60 damage times the number of Energy cards you discarded.

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Dragon ×2. Against a Dragon Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 708 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.
