Strategy & play
How Wurmple plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Inflicts Poison — guaranteed chip damage every turn between turns (no coin flip). It stacks with your attack math to cross KO thresholds the attack alone misses.
- Inflicts Sleep — they flip each turn to wake, so it’s a coin-flip lock: disruptive but unreliable on its own.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥30 effectively one-shots it.
How to beat Wurmple
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Wurmple is real?
Wurmple is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
