Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks that rely on keeping multiple Pokemon alive rather than focusing on one strong attacker. It works well when you need to protect weaker cards from being knocked out.
- •Team protection
- •Board clearing
- •High health
- •Fighting weakness
- •Slow setup
- •No bench healing
Use Ultimate Arrow to weaken the opponent's entire team before they can knock out your protected cards.
Arceus is known as the Alpha Pokemon and is said to have shaped the world with its 1,000 arms.
Remember that your opponent can still attack your Benched Pokemon with effects that do not deal damage, such as putting them to sleep or poisoning them.
