Its attacks

Hyper Pump

20+

Does 20 damage plus 20 more damage for each basic Energy attached to Swampert ex but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 80 damage in this way.

Crushing Wave

20+

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 40 damage to that Pokémon. After doing damage, flip a coin. If heads, your opponent discards an Energy card, if any, attached to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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

    150 HP, and nothing in Team Magma vs Team Aqua goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. 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 5,466 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

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,466 tournament lists we have read, 3,457 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.
