Its attacks

Water Gun

20+

Does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to Seadra but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way.

Agility

20

Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Seadra.

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. Keep in mind

    None of the 6,646 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.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 6,646 tournament lists we have read, 541 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
