Card Details
Set
Character Background
Forretress in Neo Discovery is a tidy little control piece that turns the opponent’s own switching into a tax. Spikes punishes any Benched Pokémon that gets promoted to the Active Spot, which makes it especially annoying against decks that rely on pivoting, gust effects, or repeated retreat-and-swap patterns. That pushes Forretress toward a tempo-and-disruption game plan: you want to keep the board awkward, nibble away at the opponent’s setup, and force them to think twice before moving key support Pokémon forward. Rapid Spin adds even more board manipulation, dealing damage before the switch and potentially dragging a weak target into harm’s way. Deckbuilding-wise, pair Forretress with trapping or forced-switch effects so your opponent has fewer clean lines, and use sturdy Benched Pokémon to maximize the “switch one of yours” clause. Since Spikes shuts off when Forretress is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed, status protection or healing helps preserve its lock.
