Its attacks

Reflect

During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 40 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Telekinesis

Does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance.

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 340 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

Emerging Powers landed here on 31 August 2011.
