Subject: Re: Neo2 Beedrill 4/1 - Kenneth

Ok, You got the wrong idea of Neo2 Beedrill being a broken card.
I have been using the Nidoking deck ever since Pokemon started.
Since the Neo2 Beedrill came out, I have been writing to about 10 articles on it.
All the articles suggested that the
Magmar is still quite popular in the game, Nidoking will last longer then Neo 2 Beedrill.
For those who are saying
"Whop-dee-doo, 30 Poison damage. That sucks!", let me explain what 30 Poison
damage will do.
It takes out anything with 70HP or less out in 1 full turn (each player
takes a turn). Assuming you get heads, which shouldn't be too hard, here's
the equation:
10 base damage + 30 Poison damage after your turn + 30 more Poison damage
after your opponent's turn= 70 total damage in 1 full turn for 1 stinkin'
Grass Energy. Wiggly's either dead this turn (Got PlusPower?) or next, too.
Talk about efficiency.
I agree with you, but it has a weakness to fire, can be taken down by a Fossil magmar quite easily.
50% of having the chance of knocking out a 70hp. Like Venusaur, this card can be taken down by Blaine's Ninetails.
Now I guess that you will be thinking, If I win the flip and got Beedrill, Breeder & Weedle in my hand, Blaine's Ninetails
stands no chance.
Beedrill, Breeder, Weedle. 3 cards. You will only have a 20% chance of getting all three when you run 4 of each in your deck.
Com search, Trader might help but...
I shan't argue further.
It's a great card, I will be planning to use it in my Nidoking Deck. But lemme remind you, It CAN be taken down by the 2nd turn.
It's a broken card, but all cards have it's weaknesses, But against Fire decks, This card sucks totally. Also, if you have been unlucky all your life, DO NOT use this card.
Nidoking is the Best Poison card that one can get.
