Its Ability

Pattern Distraction

As long as Spinda is your Active Pokémon, whenever your opponent's Basic Pokémon tries to attack, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. You can't use more than 1 Pattern Distraction Poké-Body each turn.

Its attacks

Whimsy Draw

Flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, draw 2 cards.

Double-edge

30

Flip a coin. If tails, Spinda does 10 damage to itself.

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, Pattern Distraction. 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

    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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 877 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.
