Solar Plant GXPlante Solaire GX

This attack does 50 damage to each of your opponent’s Pokémon. If this Pokémon has at least 2 extra Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack’s cost), heal all damage from all of your Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)Cette attaque inflige 50 dégâts à chacun des Pokémon de votre adversaire. Si au moins 2 Énergies supplémentaires sont attachées à ce Pokémon (en plus du coût de cette attaque), soignez tous les dégâts de vos Pokémon. (N’appliquez ni la Faiblesse ni la Résistance aux Pokémon de Banc.) (Vous ne pouvez utiliser qu’une attaque GX par partie.)

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

    270 HP. Only 2 cards in Cosmic Eclipse carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Shining Vine. 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. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  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 Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 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

SM Black Star Promos landed here on 3 February 2017.
