Strategy & play

How Lycanroc plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
  • Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
  • Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Rockruff; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
  • Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 2 copies.

How to beat Lycanroc

  • Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
  • KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Lycanroc is real?

Lycanroc 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.
