OK, lets take a look at these great cards.
First, lets look at the basic cards. Growlithe and Seel both have 60 hp
(great for a basic evolutionary poke). Both get a point.
Growlithe/Arcainine: 1 point
Seel/Dewgong: 1 point
Next, Growlithe is a fire poke and Seel is a water poke. Fire is in
danger right now with raindance hot now,
but Seel also doesn't have it great because everybody is prepared for raindance
decks somehow. Growlithe/Arcainine
has an advantage because there are all those scythers running around, while
Seel/Dewgong has Magmar to squish. :)
1 point to Growlithe/Arcainine and Seel/Dewgong.
Growlithe/Arcainine: 2 points
Seel/Dewgong: 2 points
Now, lets look at their moves. Flare is great for mimes, and a 2 move
scyther kill, but the 2 energy cost is kinda steep for only 20 damage. Now
Seel has a cheep quick attack, but it doesn't exactly bring in the fire power.
Hmm, toughie. Both moves suck, i would keep them bench warming while
stronger pokes fight. No points awarded
Growlithe/Arcainine: 2 points
Seel/Dewgong: 2 point
Both Seel and Growlithe have 1 colorless retreat, so both get a point.
Growlithe/Arcainine: 3 points
Seel/Dewgong: 3 points
At the end of round 1, the Growlithe/Arcainine family has 3 points, while the
Seel/Dewgong Family also has 3. Now for this commercial break.
Ok, we're back. Now for round 2, Arcainine VS Dewgong, what you've been waiting for!
Lets take a look at their HP. Arcainine has the obvious advantage with
the whopping 100 HP while Dewgong has a commendable 80 HP.
Growlithe/Arcainine family gets a point.
Growlithe/Arcainine: 4 points
Seel/Dewgong: 3 points
Now for retreat cost. Both Arcainine and Dewgong have a gigantic 3
retreat cost!! AHHHHH! Man, and u thought Mt. Everest was high. Both teams
get a point subtracted for that unreasonable retreat cost.
Growlithe/Arcainine: 3 points
Seel/Dewgong: 2 point
Lets now take a look at their first attack. Arcainine has Flamethrower,
a FFC attack that does 50 damage, but u have to discard a F. Dewgong has
Aurora Beam, a WWC attack that also does 50 damage, but with no discard
requirements. Dewgong wins this round.
Growlithe/Arcainine: 3 points
Seel/Dewgong: 3 points.
Ok, now lets look at the 2nd attack. Arcainine has for FFCC Take Down,
which does 80 damage (great) but Arcainine does 30 damage to itself. That
attack is just like Chancey's, but it only does 30 damage to itself instead of
80. A solid attack, but u can only use it 4 times max (if you're that
lucky) with Arcainines HP. That's not bad. That move goes well with
a superpotion to clear off damage from Arcainine. Another great thing to
that move is that it will instantly take out any haymaker lackey. All in
all, a good move. Now, Dewgong has for WWCC Ice Beam which does 30 damage
*crowd boos* but it has a chance for paralysis. The payment is high, but
if your good with a coin it can be deadly. Ice Beam is a great team with
Aurora Beam, which like Arcainines Take Down move takes out any haymaker lackey
instantly. The up side of this attack for Dewgong is that u don't do any
damage to Dewgong. A point to both for great moves.
Growlithe/Arcanine: 4 points
Seel/Dewgong: 4 points.
Well, there you have it. The score was 4 to 4. Pick which ever team u like and stick with it. Comments, anything, send to parmonw@primenet.com Please no hate mail. Thanks, Penguin. (please post this pojo)
