Hi! I'm a trainer some of you may know as
Mr.Mime from WotC's PokéGym Site. For PoJo Purposes, since they ask us
not to use Pokémon Names for aliases, I am going to go by Giovanni, my
favourite male trainer (being a guy, I don't think I'm going to go by
Sabrina, my favourite Gym Leader). I am sending in an article
regarding Jumpluff--one of the greatest Pokémon Cards of all time!
First of all, let's look at the card. Also, please note, "[G]"
means 1 Grass Energy (attack costs), and "(##)" refers to the
Damage, where the "#" is a number. All effects of attacks are
listed immedately following the attack name.
Jumpluff Lv.35
Stage 2 - Evolves from Skiploom
Grass Type
70 HP
Weakness: Fire
Resistance: Fighting (-30)
Retreat: None
[G] Sleep Powder (20) The Defending Pokémon is now
Asleep.
[G] Leech Seed (20) If this attack damages the
Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), remove 1 damage
counter from Jumpluff, if it has any.
This Pokémon says "I AM the No Removal
Gym" all over it! Also, thanks to some comment from various
trainers that I received via the PokéGym, I am combining Jumpluff with Pokémon
Centre! Remove six damage counters for one Grass Energy! Wow!
Now, I'd like to take a moment and look at the
Neo III Jumpluff.
Jumpluff Lv.37
Stage 2 - Evolves from Skiploom
Grass Type
70 HP
Weakness: Fire
Resistance: Fighting (-30)
Retreat: None
[G] Star of Evolution Choose as many of your Hoppip
and Skiploom in play as you like. Search your deck for the
appropriate evolution cards and attach them to those Pokémon. Shuffle
your deck afterward.
[G] Solar Beam (30)
This card SCREAMS "ABUSE ME, PLEASE!"
All over it! I cannot wait for it to be released in America. Just
imagine, four cards that can deal 30 for one Grass Energy! And the
"Star of Evolution" attack is almost as good as Koga's Kakuna's Pokémon
Power!
NOTE: Thank you to Edo, for the Lv.37
Jumpluff Card Translation.
If you have any comments, suggestions, et cetera,
please contact me.
I also enjoy fixing Jumpluff Decks! I have
six different Jumpluff Decks at this time!
Giovanni, Leader of Team Rocket
