Munkidori

Munkidori has appeared in several sets: Twilight Masquerade (TWM 95), Shrouded Fable (SFA 72), Prismatic Evolutions (PRE 44) and Ascended Heroes (ASC 99). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
  • It has an Ability, Adrena-Brain. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
  • Dragapult ex / Dusknoir runs it in 24 of the 24 lists we have read, seen across 22 different tournaments.
  • It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 1,386 tournament lists we have read, 852 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
  • Mark H, and that is the letter the next rotation takes away. After that you will not be able to play it in Standard.
