What this card does

This Pokemon has 270 hit points and takes extra damage from Fairy type cards.

The Fabled Flarebolts attack costs one Fire and one Lightning energy. You discard up to three basic Fire or Lightning energy cards from your bench. It deals 90 damage for each card discarded, meaning it can deal up to 270 damage in one turn.

The Cross Break GX attack costs two Fire and two Lightning energy. It deals 170 damage to a Benched Pokemon. If you used N's Resolve earlier this turn, it also deals 170 damage to another Benched Pokemon.

Signature attack

Fabled Flarebolts

Discard up to 3 in any combination of basic Fire and basic Lightning Energy cards from your Benched Pokémon. This attack does 90 damage for each card you discarded in this way. (90× damage)

This card allows you to sacrifice your own energy resources to deal huge amounts of damage. The GX attack is particularly useful for hitting multiple targets quickly if you have the right support cards.

Cross Break GX

This attack does 170 damage to 1 of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon. If you played N’s Resolve from your hand during this turn, this attack also does 170 damage to 1 of your opponent’s other Benched Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Which deck it belongs in

It suits aggressive decks that focus on dealing high damage to the opponent's weaker Pokemon on the bench. You will need plenty of Fire and Lightning energy cards and support like N's Resolve to maximise its potential.

Strengths

  • Massive 270 HP
Watch out for
  • Fairy weakness

Pro tip

Use N's Resolve to attach extra energy, then use Cross Break GX to hit two Benched Pokemon for a total of 340 damage.

From the Pokédex

Reshiram and Zekrom are legendary dragons said to appear before those who seek truth or ideals.

Note for the parent

Your child will need to manage their energy discard carefully because removing energy from the bench can weaken their other Pokemon.
