Its Ability

Temperamental Weather

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for Castform, Rain Castform, or Snow-cloud Castform and switch it with Sunny Castform. (Any cards attached to Sunny Castform, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) Shuffle Sunny Castform back into your deck. You can't use more than 1 Temperamental Weather Poké-Power each turn.

Its attacks

Holon Search

Search your deck for a Holon Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward.

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

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

  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 3,810 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 Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 1,533 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.
