Strategy & play
How Burmy Sandy Cloak plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Tackle) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — note its own type is Grass, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥20 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Burmy Sandy Cloak
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥20 damage one-shots it.
