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

    140 HP. Only 2 cards in Stormfront carry more.

  2. A strength

    Steam Twister hits for 120 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Stormfront hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,728 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.

  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 +30. Against a Colorless Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,728 tournament lists we have read, 4,131 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.
