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

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

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,427 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 5,427 tournament lists we have read, 1,255 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
