Its Ability

Abnormal OutbreakEffusion Paradoxale

You can use this Ability only if you go second. Once during your first turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Spewpa and a Vivillon, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.Vous ne pouvez utiliser ce talent que si vous jouez en second. Une seule fois pendant votre premier tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez chercher un Pérégrain et un Prismillon dans votre deck, les montrer, puis les ajouter à votre main. Mélangez ensuite votre deck.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

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

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 914 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.
