Its Ability

Ω Barrier

Whenever your opponent plays a Trainer card (excluding Pokémon Tools and Stadium cards), prevent all effects of that card done to this Pokémon.

Its attacks

Leaf Blade

30+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 more damage.

Power Poison

120

Discard 1 Energy attached to this Pokémon. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned.

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

    Leaf Blade hits for 30 on 1 Energy. Nothing in Primal Clash hits harder for that price.

  2. A strength

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

  3. 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Grovyle to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  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.

When it came out

Primal Clash landed here on 4 February 2015.
