Attacker

Strategy & play

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

Its main attack (Triple Nose) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
Needs Fighting / Metal Energy to attack — note its own type is Metal, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥45 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.
A Stage 1 — one step up from Nosepass; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Probopass

Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
Gust it before the evolution is set up.
Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
