Solgaleo
Rotated OutA powerful Metal-type Pokemon that can swap places with the active fighter and boost its bench allies.
What this card does
It has an ability called Rush In that lets you switch it from your Bench to the Active spot once per turn.
It uses the attack Solar Geyser to deal 100 damage and attach up to two Energy cards from the discard pile to another Pokemon on your Bench.
Rush In
Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is on your Bench, you may switch it with your Active Pokémon.
The key feature here is flexibility. You can use Rush In to bring Solgaleo into battle when you need it, and then use Solar Geyser to give that same Pokemon or a friend more energy for future turns.
Attacks
Attach up to 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile to 1 of your Benched Pokémon.
Abilities
Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is on your Bench, you may switch it with your Active Pokémon.
Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks that rely on moving Pokemon around the Bench to stay safe or attack from different positions. It works well in Metal-type strategies where you want to keep your attackers powered up.
- •Bench support
- •Energy recovery
- •Safe switching
- •Fire weakness
- •One-time switch
- •Stage 2 evolution
Use Solar Geyser to put Energy onto a Pokemon that is already set up for a big attack, rather than wasting it on Solgaleo itself.
Solgaleo is known as the Sunne Pokemon and is said to devour light before appearing in the sky.
Remind your child that they can only use the Rush In ability once during their turn, so they should plan when to swap Solgaleo carefully.
