Which deck it belongs in

This is one of the wider set of current Standard cards. We have not hand-written a full guide for it yet, so the notes here come straight from the card. Our featured cards (marked with a star) have a deeper parent guide.

Strengths
  • A current Standard-legal card
Watch out for
  • Weak to Grass, which hits it for double
  • A Stage 1, so it needs its Basic form first
