Push Over

60+

Does 60 damage plus 10 more damage for each Fighting Energy attached to Swampert.

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

    130 HP. Only 3 cards in Supreme Victors carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  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

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Marshtomp to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass +30. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,350 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

Supreme Victors landed here on 19 August 2009.
