Which deck it belongs in

Arven's Maschiff works well in decks that need a basic Darkness-type Pokémon for its attacks or as filler due to its common rarity.

Strengths

  • Common rarity makes it easy to find
Watch out for
  • Confront takes longer to set up compared to Stampede
  • Weakness to Grass-type Pokémon can be a problem
Pro tip

Use Stampede for quick hits and Confront when you have the Energy, but be prepared for the risk of taking damage from Grass types.

From the Pokédex

Arven's Maschiff is known for its speed on the battlefield, making it a quick attacker.

Note for the parent

Keep an eye on the Energy you have, especially when using Confront, as it requires more than Stampede.
