Strategy & play

How Brute Bonnet 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.
  • Its main attack (Rampaging Hammer) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Darkness type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.

How to beat Brute Bonnet

  • Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
  • Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Brute Bonnet is real?
