Whether Man: Hey everybody! Whether Man's here with
the scoop on the "Super Secret Card" from Team Rocket, Dark Raichu.
This little bugger hasn't been released in either America, or Japan until now.
Forget the rumors, he's 100% real! And your's truely has the Whether Report on
him.
Dark Raichu HP: 70
LLL: Surprise Thunder 30
Flip a coin. If heads, flip another coin. If
heads, this attack deals 20 damage to
each of your opponent's benched pokemon.
If tails, this attack does 10 damage to
each of your opponent's benched pokemon.
(Don't apply weakness or resistance for
benched pokemon.)
Weakness: Fighting Resistance: None
Retreat Cost: 1
Sweet! This card is like Fossil Raichu, only in some cases better! His attack
only needs a moderate 3 Lightning energy instead of a larger 4, and he may be
able to do 20 damage to everyone on the bench, instead of just 10 damage to 3
pokemon! WOW! This guy rocks! And since few good pokemon have lightning
resistance, you can be sure that that 30 damage will be a factor. This guy's
got a spot in my Lightning deck, no doubt about it.
Unfortunatly, we have the 70 HP issue. He probably has the most HP out of any
stage one in Rocket, but it's still going to be a small problem. And
fighting's going to be more popular with the introduction of Rocket. Luckily,
Fighting is a commonly resisted type. Throw in a few Scythers and no problem.
Just hope your opponent doesn't have Hitmonchan and a Gust of Wind handy!
This
card is the best electric pokemon in Rocket, and the best out of the 3 Raichus
so far. I think I might do a comparison on this card versus the other Raichu's.
This card rocks in a Bench Damaging deck as well as Mono-Lightning decks.
Well, that's all I have on this card. We're signing off...
