Slaking RS
Attributes: You cannot really say anything against 120
HP, as its the highest in the game. Fighting weakness
might be a problem, as Medicham and Hariyama decks are
going to be very popular until Worlds ends. A retreat of
3 is problematic because of the attack.
Poke-BODY: "Lazy"
This is a very powerful Pokemon Power, as it effectively
shuts down 9/10 of the decks out there, with only T2C
being unaffected to any real extent.
Attack #1: [CCCC] "Critical Move"
This is a very powerful attack, but it comes with a
hefty drawback. First, you have to discard a Basic
energy card from Slaking. This is a problem because you
can't discard Boost to pay for the attack. Second,
Slaking cannot attack during your next turn. This is ANY
attack, not just Critical Move. You cannot use any of
Vigoroth's or Slakoth's attacks, if you have a Meteor
FAlls out. The only real way to get out of this is
Switch, or some other card that makes it easy to switch
your Active and Bench.
Ratings:
Unlimited: Slower and not as powerful as Charizard,
which is a terrible card anyway. Poke-Powers aren't used
at all here, and it is ER bait.
1.25/5
Modified: With the high amount of Poke-POWERs out there,
Lazy can be a powerful move. However, the lack of an
efficient attack and the fact that there are other
Pokemon in the format that do the same thing, only
better, Slaking's rating is reduced.
3.5/5
Limited: Not as good as it could've been. It easily
OHKO's almost every Pokemon in the set, and there is
very little that can OHKO it, but a THKO is all they
need, as Slaking can't attack once it attacks. Also,
Lazy is useless. Still, as a Cleaner or just to take out
random Basics, this could work rather nicely.
3.75/5
