| If you have Arceus or Arceus ex in play, attacks used by this Pokemon do +30 damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon. |
| Damage: 20 |
If Arceus or Arceus ex is in play, Carnivine does 50 damage. Since it only needs 1 Energy to use its move, this bonus damage can give Carnivine a huge advantage, especially during the early game when most cards are still in their Basic forms and don't have a lot of HP.
Carnivine is most effective when you have Arceus or Arceus ex in your early hand. However, if you are unlucky with your draw, there is a chance you could miss out on the bonus damage during the early phase. Once your opponent's Pokemon have been set up, it will be a lot harder to use Carnivine, especially since it has quite a low HP.
In cases like these, it would be good to bring cards like Iono who can reshuffle your hand and get you the cards you need sooner.

Carnivine can easily KO Basic Pokemon with 60 HP with the help of Giovanni, most notably Eevees and Charmanders. This can put opposing decks on the back foot, and give you a dominant advantage!
