Its Ability

Protective Dust

Prevent all effects of attacks, except damage, done to Venomoth by the Attacking Pokémon.

Its attacks

Sleep Poison

The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep and Poisoned.

Razor Wind

60

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

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    Razor Wind hits for 60 on 2 Energy. Nothing in FireRed & LeafGreen hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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 Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 914 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

FireRed & LeafGreen landed here on 1 September 2004.
