Hey, its the crazy cobra again with an article about the new Arbok! This one
is definitely better than the old one! Check it out. If you're wondering,
Arbok is at the Poke Center after biting a Pikachu. He thought it was a plain
mouse that he could eat and the Pikachu, well, gave Arbok an electrifying
experience. Anyway, let's check out the TR Arbok!

Dark Arbok
Type- Grass (one of my fav types)
HP- 60
Rarity- Rare and Rare Holo
Weakness- Psychic (bring along a Jigglypuff for Psy protection)
Resistance- None
Retreat Cost- 2 colorless (same as the Fossil Arbok)

So far, this Arbok is the same as the Fossil one, except for rarity. Look at
its attacks!

Attack
Stare for 2 Grass Energies
Choose one of your opponent's Pokemon. This attack does 10 damage to that
Pokemon (don't apply weakness and resistance). If that Pokemon has a Pokemon
Power, that power stops working until the end of your opponents next turn.

What I think
THIS IS SWEET!!!!!!!!!! Its like a less expensive (and less powerful)
Telekinesis. Then you see that Pokemon Power stopper. Muk's Toxic Gas giving
you a hard time? Having trouble with Gengar and his Curse? Stop that Power
cold. Best of all, it can hit anyone on the bench or active, making him
excellent in a Bench Killer deck. I love this attack!!

Attack
Poison Vapor for 3 Grass Energies
Damage- 10
The defending Pokemon is now Poisoned. This attack does 10 damage to each of
your opponents benched Pokemon. (don't apply weakness and resistance)

What I think
This is a great move! Instant poison, and 10 damage to each of the benched
foes! No coin flips at all (you all know I hate flipping coins)! This just is
too good. He is an excellent choice for the Bench Killer deck! He is more
deadly to a full bench than Fossil Raichu and more reliable than Articuno!

Overall, this new Arbok is much better than the old one! The Stare is like a
Toxic Gas that doesn't hurt you and he can strike any foe in the game! I
looooove this guy! One thing, though, I don't know if this guy evolves from
Dark Ekans only, or if you can use the Fossil for evolution. Please email me
if you know the answer at King_Cobra64@hotmail.com.

My word of the day is cool, which describes the TR Arbok

Death threats should be sent to the CIA. (hah, I changed it a bit. Maybe I
change it every few days?)
