Description

Hippowdon (xy5-88 Reverse Holofoil) is a Fighting-type Stage 1 Pokémon from the Primal Clash set. It has an attack that prevents effects and damage from Pokémon-EX during your opponent's next turn and a high-damage Double-Edge attack that deals 100 damage while costing 20 recoil to itself. Its high retreat cost and Grass weakness shape its role as a bulky attacker with a defensive niche against EX threats.
