Its Ability

Its attacks

Steam Blast

100

Discard an Energy card attached to Salamence.

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 Arceus goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

    Steam Blast hits for 100 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Arceus hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Colorless ×2. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,126 tournament lists we have read, 2,966 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

Arceus landed here on 4 November 2009.
