Strategy & play
How Team Rocket's Spidops plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥65 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Team Rocket's Tarountula; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
- Seen in 2% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 4 copies.
How to beat Team Rocket's Spidops
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥65 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
