To pojo,
I have heard a lot of people bagging Pidgeot
lately. Pidgeot is strong. The only thing bad about him is his stuff before
him........lets take a small look
Pidgey
40 HP
2 whirlwind
10 If your opponent has any benched Pokemon he/she
chose one of them and switchs it with the active Pokemon (do the damage before
switching the Pokemon).
OMG! 2 for 10 is no where near worth what you pay
and bring in another Pokemon may even help our opponent. Resist to fighting
does help though.
Weakness Electric
Resistance Fighting
Retreat 1
Pidgeotto
60 HP
2 Whirlwind (Same as Pidgey except 20 instead of
10)
3 Mirror Move If Pidgeotto was attacked last turn
do the same damage onto the defending Pokemon (something like that you
all know it.)
Weakness Electric
Resistance Fighting
Retreat 1
Its ALOT better than Pidgey but still not great
even when just the base set was just around.
OK here my point
Pidgeot
2 Wing Attack 20
3 Hurricane If this attack does not knock out the
defending Pokemon place the defending Pokemon and all cards attached to it to
the opponents hand.
Weakness Electric
Resistance Fighting
Retreat 0
This makes up for the not so strong Pidgeotto.
Free retreat can be just the thing you need when your desparte to get someone
else in. Its weakness to electricity can be frustrating but Hurricane means
that cards that need more than one energy to attack are screwed. When to
pokemon returns into play on the bench that is (it must go there it can't stay
in the opponents hand trust me on this one) it takes 30 damage and it also
destroys people that use bredders to play with Rain dance because Blastoise
goes into hand but Breeder is already discarded! Means that squrit only has 10
damage until it lives in the discard pile. Also this kills Alakaam and
Gyarados also cus there basics have only 30HP. (As well has Haunter or Gengar
for anyone stupid enough to use base gastly. I do talk of experience beleive
me.
So before you go through your electric deck
include this wonderful bird that eats Hitmonchan and you can defend electrics
weakness. But there is still getting it Pidgeot before Pidgey gets turned into
cooked goose! Few Traders maybe Bredders can get it there cus it can attack
with 2 energy like its lowest form! LOL.
Thanks everyone I will be writing some more things
more often now. BYE!
Adam.
