Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks that focus on rapid setup and aggressive early attacks. It works best when paired with Metal Energy cards to power its Tackle attack.
- •Fast evolution
- •Low energy cost for damage
- •Basic status
- •Very low HP
- •Fire weakness
- •Requires Metal Energy
Use the immediate evolution to surprise opponents who expect a Basic Pokemon to stay that way for a full turn.
Burmy changes its cloak based on the environment it is in, which is why this card features a Trash Cloak variant.
Remind your child that 40 HP is very low, so this Pokemon will likely be knocked out after just two or three hits from common opponents.
