Arbok d
Modified:
Arbok is quite effective against Delta as it scores one hit KO's on both the Raichu d and Exeggutor d. It's fire type makes it effective against any modified deck that runs Metagross d, as it one hit KO's that as well.

Still, against non Delta decks, Arbok is merely a Stage1 with weak attacks.
Modified: 3/5

Unlimited:
You will rarely see delta Pokemon in unlimited. Hundreds of better Stage1's exist.
Unlimited: 1/5

Limited:
Strangle is very strong in limited, scoring you a OHKO on almost any Pokemon your opponent will have out.
Limited: 5/5

Arbok d

Arbok is one of those typical stage 1s with mediocre attacks. Poison + Burn for one energy is pretty nice, and 80 to a Delta Pokemon for 3 energy is above average. 80 HP is nice, but Psychic weakness is lame.

Unlimted: 1/5

There are much better cards to use here.

Modified: 3/5

Someone actually almost beat Jason using this thing at our last CC! It's actually really good TecH against Raichu/Eggs, as it OHKOs everything in the deck for 3 energy. Decent card here.

Limited: 4/5

Very good here. Status is nice, and Strangle should OHKO most of your opponents d Pokemon.

Unlimited: 1/5
No? Not fast enough.

Modified: 2/5
It can do 3 for 80, but alot of other Pokemon can do 3 for 80 with a much easier cost to do so (Kingler d etc). I don't see much use for it in very many decks.

Limited: 4/5
Wow, delta reigns here and 3 for 80 is awesome. Status conditions are also awesome and it can easily be an annoyer and a sweeper in this format.
