Its attacks

Crushing EarthÉcrase-terre

80

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon (yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, Shining Steelix can't attack during your next turn.Lancez une pièce. Si c'est face, cette attaque inflige 10 dégâts à chaque Pokémon du Banc (le vôtre et celui de votre adversaire). (N'appliquez ni la Faiblesse ni la Résistance aux Pokémon du Banc.) Si c'est pile, cette attaque ne fait rien. Dans tous les cas, Steelix brillant ne peut pas attaquer pendant votre prochain tour.

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

    90 HP. Only 4 cards in Neo Destiny carry more.

  2. A strength

    Crushing Earth hits for 80 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Neo Destiny hits harder for that price.

  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

    Retreat cost 4. 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 3,810 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

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 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

Neo Destiny landed here on 28 February 2002.
