Well, he is the best Crystal out there so far, but hopefully the upcoming Crystal Golem, Charizard, Crobat, Kabutops, Ho-oh and Celebi will be better. But he is halfway decent I suppose. Not for Psychic. The cost is horrid, especially since it is TIMES instead of 10 PLUS. But I can see the second attack. Just discard a recycle. Of course you have to like to play these weird things to want to play him, since many other things can do much better.

Unlimited: Nope. He will get eaten here. He’ll be ER, SER, then Item Finder for more SER, and then he’ll get pounded. Of course Sneasle will KO him in one shot anyway, so ER won’t usually be necessary. 1/5

MMF: Even with no ER, he will still die to stuff like Kingdra, since he is ER. 1.25/5

Limited: He really only is useable with recycle, but he is a basic that can attack for only 2 energy, so he isn’t complete garbage. 1.75/5

Artwork: 3/5

Versitality is the key again. can use some of the cooler cubes. psychic and fire means that it can get an auto burn or confusion in easily while you power lugia for one of its main attacks. top to bottom its nice. 80 HP is very good for a basic. 3 retreat is a drawback, as opposed to 2 on other lugias. Weakness to psychic is expected, but suprisingly no resistance to fighting. That was a shocker.

Attacks; psychic is the not as good version. its 10x the number of energy not something plus 10x the energies. but for 2 energies you could do something like play a water, and KO a macargo that has 4 energies because you now are water type. Never say no to KOing a cargo. Steam blast is sub par. 60 would have been better and for a discard of one its worse. however use recycle and you'll be fine. remember, 50 is alot of damage when you can make yourself super effective against many types.

Unlimited: No way you'd be able to maintain this monster, unless you just changed his type and used psychic. Its a shame. 1/5

Modified: has several uses. is a nice backup and even a wall. can essentially take out 3 big semi archetypes in modified by changing type. Can KO Entei/Cargo by shifting to water, Espeon by shifting to psychic (though unless someone was dumb enoguh to play a fourht energy on espeon, you'd be using steam blast so its situational), and Those pesky Meganium/Harvest Bounty Venusaur/Exectutor decks by changing to fire and they most likely have about 4 energies on them. a little less useful than say Crystal Kingdra but is a basic so 4/5

This requires way too many different types of energy. Changing types can be a good thing if the other Poke is weak to whatever you're changing into. Psychic is overpriced. Two different types of energy isn't worth doing an average of about 30 damage. It would be worth it if it were one of those attacks that did 30 plus 10 for each energy attached to the defending Pokemon. The Stream Blast gives you even less for the amount of energy you give it. some Pokemon can do fifty for about half the energy Lugia needs; and they don't need to discard any.
