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

    Toxtricity (Phantasmal Flames) runs it in 1 of the 56 lists we have read, seen across 1 different tournaments.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Grass ×2. Against a Grass Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,384 tournament lists we have read, 3,405 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
