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, Safeguard. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

    Sylveon runs it in 22 of the 22 lists we have read, seen across 22 different tournaments.

  4. A strength

    Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Metal ×2. Against a Metal Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 529 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
