Honedge
Oracle Text
Attack Swords Dance: During your next turn, this Pokémon's Slash attack's base damage is 40.
Attack Slash (20)
Card Details
Character Background
Honedge in XY Black Star Promos plays like a tiny tempo piece with a built-in promise of future pressure: a Basic Metal Pokémon that can start chipping immediately with Slash for 20, then use Swords Dance to set up a much stronger 40-damage follow-up on the next turn. That pattern rewards patient aggression, especially in decks that want to curve out cleanly rather than explode all at once. In gameplay terms, Honedge best supports a tempo or midrange plan, where early board presence matters and each turn should advance damage while forcing the opponent to react. Metal-type energy support and acceleration tools are natural partners, and anything that helps Honedge survive long enough to cash in on Swords Dance is valuable. Because it is only a Basic, it also fits into lightweight evolution lines or flexible opener slots, making it a modest but efficient way to threaten consistent incremental damage.
