Attacker

Strategy & play

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

Not a main attacker — its job is search / tutoring. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Darkness type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥30 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Paldean Wooper

Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
