Its Ability

Dark Condition

As long as Rocket's Entei ex has any Darkness Energy attached to it, Rocket's Entei ex has no Weakness."

Its attacks

Energy Link

10

Search your discard pile for an Energy card and attach it to Rocket's Entei ex.

Volcanic Ash

Discard 2 Energy attached to Rocket's Entei ex and then choose 1 of your opponent's Pok��mon. This attack does 60 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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 has an Ability, Dark Condition. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. 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.

  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 Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 1,619 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

Team Rocket Returns landed here on 1 November 2004.
