Its Ability

Call for Help

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Team Magma's Mightyena is your Active Pokémon, you may search your deck for a Pokémon with Team Magma in its name, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Team Magma's Mightyena is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Lunge

50

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.

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

    Lunge hits for 50 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Team Magma vs Team Aqua hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 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

Team Magma vs Team Aqua landed here on 1 March 2004.
