Its Ability

GUARDGARDIEN

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Unown G is on your Bench, you may discard all cards attached to Unown G and attach Unown G to 1 of your Pokémon as a Pokémon Tool card. As long as Unown G is attached to a Pokémon, prevent all effects of attacks, excluding damage, done to that Pokémon.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), si Zarbi G est sur votre Banc, vous pouvez défausser toutes les cartes qui lui sont attachées et attacher Zarbi G à 1 de vos Pokémon comme carte Outil Pokémon. Tant que Zarbi G est attachée à 1 Pokémon, prévenez tous les effets d'attaques, dégâts exclus, infligés à ce Pokémon par des Pokémon de votre adversaire.

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

    Hidden Power hits for 50 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Great Encounters hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

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

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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 Psychic +10. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 2,208 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.
