What this card does

It has 60 HP and costs one Colorless Energy to use Ripple.

Ripple flips a coin and places damage counters on all opposing Pokemon if it lands heads.

It uses Brine for two Water Energy to deal 20 damage to a damaged opponent's Pokemon.

Signature attack

Ripple

Flip a coin. If heads, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon.

The Ripple attack allows you to place damage counters on every Pokemon your child's opponent has in play. This is significant because it can quickly weaken multiple targets at once rather than focusing on just one.

Attacks

C
Ripple

Flip a coin. If heads, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon.

W
Brine

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Which deck it belongs in

This card fits well into decks that aim to control the board by spreading damage across several opponents. It works best when paired with cards that benefit from or protect against widespread damage.

  • Board control

  • Basic stage
Watch out for
  • Coin flip risk

Pro tip

Use Ripple when your opponent has many weak Pokemon to finish them off quickly.

From the Pokédex

Shellos comes in two forms based on the sea it lives in and they look quite different from each other.

Note for the parent

Remind your child that Ripple affects all opposing Pokemon so they must consider the total impact before playing it.
