Mr. Rime – Pokémon TCG Highlander

Mr. Rime’s disruptive dances keeps your opponent at bay while protecting your Water Pokémon. Reliable damage with vast Trainer card retrieval makes for a show that pays.

Strategy Points:

• “Screen Cleaner” effect protection for your Water Pokemon means that you can take more liberties with attackers and not worry about undermining counter play such as Special Conditions and Energy Removal. This also protects your Pokémon from being pulled up from the bench by attacks, helping out protectors like Cloyster, Glaceon, and Auroras.
• Because players tend to store crucial cards in their Prize Cards, “Shuffle Dance” placing them on top of the deck allows for a game crucial mill with Trick Shovel, Avalugg, or Team Rocket’s Handiwork.
• There are a lot of routes to take with “Surprising Hand”, a few to consider are:
• – Professor’s Letter + Energy Exchanger + Great Catcher
• – Float Stone + Escape Rope + Energy Switch
• – PlusPower + PlusPower + Vitality Band
• – Venture Bomb + Venture Bomb + Toy Catcher
• With Mime Jr.
• “Bench Barrier” with “Screen Cleaner” creates a strong wall for your Water Pokémon. Bulky attackers like Wishiwashi and Wailord won’t have to worry about being inflicted by Special Conditions from attacks while protecting the Pokémon mentioned above.
• “Trick Reveal” grants you crucial intel on your opponent that will often expend a lot of resources towards taking down Mr. Rime. This Poké-Power allows you to prepare for potentially high damage plays with Gengar and Gumshoos.
