Its Ability

Type Shift

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Salamence ex's type is Fire until the end of your turn.

Its attacks

Claw Swipe

60

Dual Stream

80

You may do 40 damage instead of 80 to the Defending Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched 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

    160 HP, and nothing in Dragon Frontiers goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Dual Stream hits for 80 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Dragon Frontiers hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,461 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Colorless ×2. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,461 tournament lists we have read, 3,934 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.
