Card Rarity Guide

Force a Damaged Pokemon into the Active Spot

Cyrus can force Benched Pokemon into the Active Spot if they are damaged, which works very similarly to Sabrina except the user can choose which card gets switched to the Bench.

Best Paired with Cards That Damage Benched Pokemon

Cyrus has the best synergy with cards that can attack the Bench. After sniping the bench with cards like Greninja or Hitmonlee, use Cyrus to pull it into the Active Spot to deal a decisive blow.

It also works really well with cards that deal damage to all of your opponent's Pokemon, like Spiritomb, Articuno ex, or Alolan Ninetales, allowing you to choose which card to pull in with Cyrus.

Cards That Can Damage the Bench

Use Cyrus to KO Damaged Pokemon

Even if you don't have a card that can target the Bench, Cyrus is still good to have in a deck since it helps you secure KOs from cards that are near death on your opponent's side. This is why we highly recommend saving at least one slot for Cyrus in most decks.

Also Pairs Well With Chip Damage Cards

Even having cards that deal chip damage puts you at a great advantage if you have Cyrus in your deck. Chip damage can build up over time, and your opponent will feel pressured to retreat when their Pokemon's HP is in danger. This is when you can surprise them with Cyrus, securing your victory.

How to Use Cyrus (A2 150)

Use It Only For Guaranteed KOs

Use Cyrus only if the opposing Pokemon's HP is within range of your attack. If you use Cyrus too soon, your opponent might still have the opportunity to retreat and you will lose your chance to win a point.

Prioritize Pokemon with Energy Attached

Aim for damaged Pokemon that have Energy attached to them to interrupt your opponent's set up. Once a Pokemon is defeated, they cannot easily retrieve that energy. This will put you at an advantage since they will need more time to set up another Pokemon.
