What this card does

It uses Grand Falls to search your deck for up to three Water Energy cards and attach them to your Benched Pokemon.

It uses G-Max Bombard to deal 220 damage to the Active Pokemon and an extra 30 damage to two of the opponent's Benched Pokemon.

Signature attack

G-Max Bombard

This attack also does 30 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (220 damage)

The Grand Falls attack allows you to quickly gather Water Energy from your deck and distribute it to your other Pokemon. This helps your team stay powered up for future turns without wasting time searching manually.

Which deck it belongs in

This card suits a Water focused deck that relies on attaching multiple Energy cards each turn. It works well in decks that need to support several Benched Pokemon simultaneously.

Strengths
  • High damage output
  • Energy acceleration
  • Bench clearing capability
Watch out for
  • Weak to Lightning attacks
  • Requires four Energy for its strongest move
  • Shuffling disrupts deck order
Pro tip

Use Grand Falls early to set up your Benched Pokemon so they are ready to attack or defend in the next turn.

From the Pokédex

Blastoise has water cannons built into its shell that can shoot with enough force to pierce through steel.

Note for the parent

Remember to shuffle your deck after using Grand Falls so the used Energy cards go back into the pile.
