Its Ability

Intimidating Roar

Once during your turn, you may have your opponent switch their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon.

Its attacks

Fierce Dragon

100+

If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 120 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 Roar. 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 3,811 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Mark E. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
