Which deck it belongs in

This card suits aggressive decks that want to end games quickly with high damage attacks. It works well in Grass focused teams where other cards can protect it from Fire weaknesses.

Strengths
  • High damage ceiling
  • Two Prize reward
  • Simple coin mechanic
Watch out for
  • Inconsistent damage
  • Self damage risk
  • Fire weakness
Pro tip

Use Wild Tackle only when you need to finish the opponent off quickly and can afford the self damage.

From the Pokédex

Chesnaught is known for its powerful bracers that can shatter boulders with a single punch.

Note for the parent

Check the HP total before each turn because Wild Tackle reduces its health permanently during play.
