Victini
(Legendary Treasures)
Oh no! It’s the return of that pesky
Victini AKA ‘Fliptini’!
Originally printed in Noble Victories, and absent from
the format for all of three months, he has returned to
annoy us with his army of flip-attack friends!
Except that most of those friends, especially the good
ones, have now left the
format (sorrynotsorry).
Strip Bare Sharpedo TM and
Double Freeze Vanilluxe NVI
where the two most prominent
Fliptini partners and they are no longer
available in Modified. I guess you still have Doom
Decree Gothitelle DRX and .
. . ummmmm . .
.Continuous Tumble
Chansey DEX if you wanted to
have some fun with Fliptini,
but there isn’t anything on offer that can abuse him to
quite the same extent as there was prior to the
rotation.
That’s the thing about this card really: it’s a combo
piece for flip-dependent decks. The better the flip
attack cards are, the better this
Victini will be. Right now isn’t the best time
for him, but he may well get his chance again in the
future.
Rating
Modified: 3 (he’ll be good again at some point)
Limited: 3 (there a few flip cards in the set that could
work with him)
