Its attacks

Volcanic Flame

Discard the top 5 cards from your deck.

Hydro Wave

Discard all Water Energy attached to Salamence ex. This attack does 30 damage to each 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 Power Keepers goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Volcanic Flame hits for 150 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Power Keepers hits harder for that price.

  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 Colorless ×2. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 2,720 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

Power Keepers landed here on 17 February 2007.
