Strategy & play

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

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Inflicts Confusion — they must flip to attack (tails fails and deals 30 to themselves). Soft, coin-flip disruption.
  • Water type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥30 effectively one-shots it.

How to beat Tympole

  • Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
  • On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Tympole is real?

Tympole 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.
