Attacker

Strategy & play

How Applin plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Not a main attacker — its job is search / tutoring. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
  • Needs Grass / Fire Energy to attack — note its own type is Dragon, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Seen in 4% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 3 copies.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Applin

  • KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Applin is real?

Applin 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.
