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

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

  2. A strength

    Mark I. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  3. 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,461 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

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

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,461 tournament lists we have read, 1,227 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
