Strategy & play
How Arven's Mabosstiff ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Boss Headbutt) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 210 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- 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.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Arven's Mabosstiff ex
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥135 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
