As long as Salamence is your Active Pokémon, any damage done to your Pokémon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Dragon Flame

40+

You may discard an Energy card attached to Salamence. If you do, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage.

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

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

  2. A strength

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

  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 a Stage 2. You have to come through Shelgon to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

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.
