Buddy-Buddy Poffin arrived with Prismatic Evolutions on 17 January 2025. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.

What the card itself says

Every line in this block is copied straight off the card. Nothing rounded, nothing judged.

What to make of it

Every line below comes from a number. Either it is printed on the card, or we counted it on tournament lists. You will not find a score here — you will find what matters when you decide whether to run it.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • Mega Starmie ex / Dusknoir runs it in 25 of the 25 lists we have read, seen across 20 different tournaments.
  • No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.

What it costs

We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.

Who plays it

We read tournament decklists one by one. The match is made on the set code printed at the bottom of the card, the one the player copied onto the list — never on the name, because two cards sometimes share one.
