Weaknesses

It has a retreat cost of , which is quite big for a deck with no guaranteed Energy acceleration In the early game, it's very dependent on Misty to actually establish dominance. Ironically, its damage output is rather low compared with most Pokémon ex. That makes it underwhelming in the late game against most decks. The weakness is a hard one to have in a metagame where Pikachu ex is one of the most represented decks
