Its Ability

Block

As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, your opponent’s Active Pokémon can’t retreat.

Its attacks

Teampact

30

Does 30 damage times the number of Team Plasma Pokémon you have in play.

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

    Teampact hits for 30 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Plasma Storm hits harder for that price.

  2. A strength

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

  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 3,811 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 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

Plasma Storm landed here on 6 February 2013.
