Strategy & play
How Paldean Clodsire ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Needle Bone) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 200 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥140 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 Paldean Clodsire ex
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥140 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.
