Card Details

- Set: XY – Ancient Origins
- Card Type: Grass • Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX
- Rarity: Ultra Rare Full Art.

- Key Ability / Attack:
- Ancient Trait: Θ Stop — Prevent all effects of your opponent’s Pokémon’s Abilities done to this Pokémon.
- Attack: Jagged Saber (cost: 1 Grass + 1 Colorless) — Deals 100 damage. Then you may attach up to 2 Grass Energy from your hand to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like. If you attached Energy that way, heal all damage from the Pokémon you attached to.
Strategic Notes
- Because it’s a Mega Evolution (EX) card, playing it ends your turn. You’ll want to time its appearance carefully.
- The Ancient Trait Θ Stop is significant: it gives this Pokémon immunity from your opponent’s Ability effects, which can shut down certain strategies targeting your Pokémon’s Abilities.
- The attack Jagged Saber not only does damage (100) but provides utility: energy acceleration (attach up to 2 Grass from your hand to your bench) + healing of benched Pokémon you attached to. So it has both offensive and support value.
- Since it’s a Full Art Ultra Rare, it’s more of a collector’s item than a standard competitive staple (depending on format & legality).
- Because of its Mega EX status: if it’s knocked out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards (standard for EX).
