With Prism Star Stadium cards, they’re immune to an opponent’s Items and Supporters, but can be dealt with by other Stadium cards. The Former can be dealt with by Trainer cards like Field Blower, but if you play a Stadium to discard Chaotic Swell, it takes that other Stadium with it to the discard pile. What about Standard? Expanded is where we still have Chaotic Swell and Prism Star Stadiums. Note that I don’t expect to see such things in Expanded. In Expanded, you should just run Marshadow, unless you actually have a Gourgeist deck. Unfortunately, this really hurts Pumpkaboo. Pumpkaboo can be bounced by Scoop Up Net to recycle it, but Marshadow can just be recycled like any other Pokémon. Because, if you’re just running Pumpkaboo to discard Stadiums, you don’t really need it eating up Bench space and potentially being an easy KO. Besides Marshadow having better stats and a better (but niche) attack, Marshadow’s Ability also discards a Stadium in play, but is not a coming-into-play Ability (just a regular Ability) and discards Marshadow as well.

This clearly isn’t as good as Marshadow (SM – Unbroken Bonds 81/214). It states that, during your turn, when you play this Pokémon from your hand to your Bench, you may discard a Stadium in play.

The Ability, “Pumpkin Pit”, is fairly nice. The latter, “Stampede” is filler: to do 20 damage. Pumpkaboo has one Ability and one attack. The Retreat Cost of is normally neutral, but for a 60 HP Basic, it seems high. The HP means the Weakness and Resistance hardly matter. At least this makes it a legal Level Ball target, and in Expanded, Professor Elm’s Lecture. Pumpkaboo has 60 HP, so it is an easy OHKO while Active, and a relatively easy KO on the Bench for spread or bonus Bench hits. Not something to use in any deck, but if you’re already focused on types, it can be handy. Pumpkaboo is a Psychic type, and spoiler, we’re not running it as an attacker so this mostly matters because Fog Crystal can snag it from your deck. Pumpkaboo (SW – Evolving Skies 076/203) is an evolving Basic Pokémon, so on its own it is easy and efficient to run, but it might require more space if you also wish to run its Stage 1 form.
