Strategy & play
How Orthworm ex 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 (Rock Tomb) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 150 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥110 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 Orthworm ex
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥110 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

How can I tell if my Orthworm ex is real?

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
