Game plan
- No Weakness to lean on. N's Reshiram has no Weakness, so you need raw damage: 130 in one hit, or 65 twice.
- Don't over-invest. It only gives up 1 Prize card, so avoid spending a big two-Prize attacker on it if a cheaper Pokémon can do the job.
- Plan for its big hit. Its strongest printed attack is Virtuous Flame for 170 (4 Energy). 236 Standard cards have enough HP to survive one hit — before any Weakness, + or × effects.
- Watch the Retreat Cost. It costs 2 Energy to retreat. If it gets stuck in the Active Spot, that's your chance.
