The Versatile Oricorio in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Oricorio makes its debut in the Celestial Guardians expansion as a strategic addition to combat ex-heavy decks. This graceful Pokemon serves as a counter to Big Basic strategies and is particularly effective against formidable Stage 2 Pokemon ex like Solgaleo ex and Charizard ex (SR).
- Safeguard Ability: Oricorio's Safeguard ability is a game-changer, granting it immunity to attack damage from Pokemon ex. While it isn't invincible and can still be affected by Status or Abilities, this resilience proves to be a significant obstacle for most ex-heavy tactics.
Not only does Oricorio excel as a defensive wall in various deck archetypes, but its Zzzap attack requires minimal energy, making it a versatile choice for One-Point Electric strategies. This unique attribute allows Oricorio to not only stall opponents but also swiftly set up a late-game cleanup Pokemon, giving it the ability to outpace rival ex Pokemon.
