Its Ability

Prize ShiftÉchange de Récompense

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose a card from your hand and put it as a Prize card face up. If you do, choose 1 of your face-down Prize cards without looking and put it into your hand. This power can't be used if Slowking is affected by a Special Condition or if all of your Prize cards are face up.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez choisir une carte de votre main et la placer comme carte Récompense face retournée. Choisissez alors sans regarder une des cartes Récompense face cachée et placez-la dans votre main. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Roigada est affecté par un État Spécial ou si toutes vos cartes Récompense sont retournées.

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 has an Ability, Prize Shift. 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

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 336 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.
