Its Ability

Smog SignalsSignaux de Purédpois

If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), search your deck for up to 2 Pokémon that have "Koffing" in their name and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck.Si ce Pokémon est sur le Poste Actif et qu'il subit les dégâts d'une attaque de l'un des Pokémon de votre adversaire (même si ce Pokémon est mis K.O.), cherchez dans votre deck jusqu'à 2 Pokémon ayant " Smogo " dans leur nom, puis placez-les sur votre Banc. Mélangez ensuite votre deck.

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

  3. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  4. A strength

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
