'SUP ALL!
I cannot see where Francis D'Hondt gets off calling Dragonite 'better than
Vileplume.' Umm, no. Dragonite can only do 80(flip 2 coins, 40 times number
of heads)damage, and, unless my math probability lessons decive me, the
outcome of each flip is 50/50. So, the attack will NORMALLY only do 40
damage. Now, Vileplume can do 120(!) damage(flip 3 coins, 40 times number of
heads) and half of that will be approximately 40-80 damage. (3 is an odd
number, so 1-2 flips) Plus, Vileplume has the ability to remove a damage
counter each turn. And let's not forget the energy costs. Dragonite takes 4,
Vileplume takes 3.
Okay, Dragonite's pokemon power. Hmm... looks like a built-in Switch card
to me! Let's see, what's cheaper...Switch card...Dragonite...not exactly
rocket science, folks. I'd much prefer the promo Dragonite to this one. So
what if half the time Promo Dragonite's attack DOESN'T work! Half the time
it DOES work!
