Its attacks

Earth RiftFaille terreste

10

This attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness or Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Then, flip a coin. If tails, this attack can't be used during your next turn.Cette attaque inflige 10 dégâts à tous les Pokémon du Banc de votre adversaire. (N'appliquez pas la Faiblesse et la Résistance aux Pokémon du Banc.) Lancez ensuite une pièce. Si c'est pile, cette attaque ne peut pas être utilisée à nouveau durant votre prochain tour.

Iron SmashÉclate-fer

50+

Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, this attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage. If both are tails, this attack does nothing. If 1 is heads and 1 is tails, this attack just does 50 damage.Lancez 2 pièces. Si vous obtenez 2 faces, cette attaque inflige 50 dégâts plus 20 dégâts supplémentaires. Si vous obtenez 2 piles, cette attaque ne fait rien. Si l'une est face et l'autre est pile, cette attaque n'inflige que 50 dégâts.

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

    100 HP. Only 5 cards in Aquapolis carry more.

  2. 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.

  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 Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 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

Aquapolis landed here on 15 January 2003.
