What this card does

N's Zekrom is a Basic Pokémon, so it can be played straight onto the field with no evolving needed. It has 130 HP and a Dragon type.

It offers two attacks. Shred does a steady 70 and ignores any protective effects on the opponent's Active Pokémon. Rampaging Thunder does a huge 250, but then this Pokémon cannot attack on your next turn.

Signature attack

Rampaging Thunder

During your next turn, this Pokémon can't use attacks. (250 damage)

Rampaging Thunder does 250 damage, which is enough to knock out most Pokémon in one hit. The cost is that N's Zekrom cannot attack during your next turn, so it needs a moment to recover. Because it gives up only one Prize card when knocked out, it is a strong trade for your child.

Pro tip

Use Rampaging Thunder when a knockout is guaranteed, then have a fresh attacker ready, because Zekrom needs the following turn off.

Note for the parent

This is a single-Prize attacker, so even if it is knocked out the opponent only gains one Prize card. That makes it good value for the damage it deals.
