Welcome, to another pokemon COTD. Today’s COTD is
just a few numbers away from being good. Here, I’ll
show you what I mean. If he had 10 more HP, he could
survive a OHKO from the “Angry Monkey Lord”
Infernape, but he can’t. If his second attack cost
one less energy, he might be used with scramble
energy in a deck idea, but “Metal Slash” is 1 © too
expensive. And, if he had 2 less retreat, somebody
might actually retreat him the turn after using
“Metal Slash”, but 4 is too expensive to retreat
him. As is, he just isn’t good enough to see
tournament play.
Pros –
100 damage
Stage 1
Psychic resistance
Cons –
4 retreat
He can still be OHKO’ed by the “Red Rampaging
Monkey” Infernape
His second attack is 1 © too expensive
He can’t attack for one turn after using “Metal
Slash”
Unlimited – no 1/5
Modified – not quite good enough 2.5/5
Limited – big HP, large attack, new metal basic
energies, oh yea 4/5
Too bad, 10 more HP or 1 © less, and he’d see some
play,
“Don't sweat petty things... or pet sweaty things.”
