Electric (2X)

Notable Features

Azure Seas:ꦚ Damage from attacks used by this Pokemon isn’t affected by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokemon.

To longtime fans of the series, it should come as no surprise that the Paradox forms of the legendary dogs of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Johto Region would be some of the shining stars of an Ancient deck. Walking Wake is a powerhouse all on its own, and could likeꦓly stand up against entire teams if played correctly.

Walking Wake's Azure Seas ability, described above, is a fantastic Passive Ability. Pair that with the 120 base damage Catharsis Roar, and you have something sinister. But that isn't all. If Walking Wake uses Catharsis Roar on an opponent with a Special Condition, this move deals an additional 120 damage.

Blaze Blitz:This move cannot be usꦕed again until this Pokemon l🐽eaves the Active position.

Gouging Fire stays close to its present day roots by filling the niche of an all-out attacker. For those familiar with other Ancient cards, this one may not seem like a standout. Many other Paradox Pokemon feature ﷽a weak move, and a move that deals huge damage at the cost of the loss of your next turn.

Gouging Fire sets itself ♉apart by having almost double the health of those other cards. This means it can become an intense damage sponge, and stacking damage counters can set up some of your other cards for a clean sweep when used in an Ancient deck.

Wra♌thful Charge: If your Benched Pokemon have any damage co൲unters on them, this attack does 80 more damage.
