Strategy & play
How Dondozo plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is card selection. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥80 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 4 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Dondozo
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥80 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

About this card
"This Pokémon is a glutton, but it's bad at getting food. It teams up with a Tatsugiri to catch prey."

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Dondozo is real?
Dondozo 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.
