Strategy & play
How Exploud plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Inflicts Confusion — they must flip to attack (tails fails and deals 30 to themselves). Soft, coin-flip disruption.
- Its main attack (Hyper Voice) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Colorless type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥65 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Exploud
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥65 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

About this card
"Its howls can be heard over six miles away. It emits all sorts of noises from the ports on its body."
CCAmbient Noise
Flip 2 coins. If the first coin is heads, this attack does 50 damage to the Defending Pokémon. If the first coin is tails, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If the second coin is heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. If the second coin is tails, your opponent can't play any Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Exploud is real?
Exploud is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
