Its Ability

Darkness Drive

After your opponent's Pokémon uses a Poké-Power, you may search your discard pile for a basic Darkness Energy card and attach it to Tyranitar.

Its attacks

Grind

20×

Does 20 damage times the amount of Energy attached to Tyranitar.

Spinning Tail

This attack does 30 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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

    140 HP. Only 2 cards in Stormfront carry more.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 4. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,710 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

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

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting +30. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,710 tournament lists we have read, 1,287 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.
