Strategy & play
How Hisuian Samurott VSTAR plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Merciless Blade) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥135 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Hisuian Samurott VSTAR
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥135 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
