Strategy & play
How Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Ride of the High King) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Water Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥160 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX
- Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥160 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
