Strategy & play
How Armaldo plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Boulder Crush) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 160 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥75 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Anorith first).
How to beat Armaldo
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥75 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

How can I tell if my Armaldo is real?
Armaldo is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.
