Grotle
TGIF! Today's COTD is a stage one in a stage two
chain, clearly made to help ease the pain of developing
your tank of a stage two so we all know it won't fair
well against the big guns of the meta game so I've
decided to do this review in comparison to the DP Grotle,
to help those of you who are considering a Torterra
deck. MDG (yeah, MDG not MGD) has the same hp, the same
bottom stats, basically the same card... except DPG does
no damage and you search a leaf energy, as opposed to
MDG who does damage, but you attach from your hand. The
second attacks both cost 3 energy, with DPG doing 10
more damage but MDG having the chance of paralysis,
which certainly isn't bad... except for the coin flip...
really all it comes down to is you preference for
dishing damage.
Modified 2.9/5 (I give it the edge of DPG though)
Limited can see some use from this guy, especially if
you have his evolutionary successor, low energy,
acceptable damage, resistance to two of the forerunners
of this set (Vaporeon and Glaceon) and acceptable hp
make MDG a decent choice.
Limited 3.6/5
