Welcome
to Jsc’s Junker!
Hi, my name is
Jsctoyboy2. This is the 4th
installment of Jsc’s Junker! The ghetto fake pojo deck mech for your trouble
shooting needs.
First I will tell your about my rating system of a card
it will be 0 to 5.
This is a 5 out of 5. Perfect
card in almost every way!
This is a 4 out of 5. Good card
and reliable, above average!
This is a 3 out of 5. Ok card,
useable, average card.
This
is a 2 out of 5. Not a very good card, but might be good later.
This
is a 1 out of 5. Meaning this card stinks. Put it back in the pack and send it
to wizards.
Now lets get to the stuff you came here for, my pick of
the pokemon card of the day. Is………..*Honks his car horn*
It’s Steelix
Attack: [2] Tackle Attack: 20
[2S] Tail Crush: (30+)
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus
20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 30 damage.
Facts
Steel
Pokemon
Resistance to Grass
1st Stage Pokemon
weakness to Fire
110 Hp
4 energies to retreat (very high)
Strategies with Steelix…
Are stall with some other pokemon like cleffa, Rockets
Zapdos, Electabuzz, and Sneasal. Use many gust of winds, switches, super scoop
ups, energy charge, and ecoa gym to prevent them from removing your energies
from steelix. If they do you try to get it back. This card is good but the big
problem is there are no good Onixes. There are base, and neo base onix is 90hp
but not very good moves, and neo onix is sometimes good at stalling but 60 hp!
If the vending Onix were out Steelix would be used much more. We will have to
wait what Wizards will bring with its “Cross Trainer packs.”
Good
Combos with Steelix
…
Are of course abuse the big hp, use Gold Berries, Super potions,
and Potion energy. The metal energies are almost annoying if you use them
correctly! Make sure you have ITEM FINDERS to get back those Gold Berries. Do
you know whose good with steelix??? Fossil Gastly it’s 2nd move ‘Energy
Conversion’ can get you up to “2” energy cards that means 2 of whatever
you need at the time, works also with sneasal decks. This card is very good. Not
even sneasal can knock out steelix in one hit. (Maybe if they are really lucky)
How to Counter Steelix?
Ok this is why people might not use steelix as much
because he is a stage 1 needs at least 2 turns to power up, big retreat. Sneasal
deck can be powered up quicker and could get out a slowking or power up another
main pokemon. Super Energy removal just destroys steelix, here is a good tip if
you get in trouble with a steelix deck make sure you can poison it or confuse it
with a rocket’s oddish, koffing, dark gloom, gligar can all easily do a status
effect to steelix and with 4 energy to retreat? Forget about it! The person will
have to scoop up or switch to save the energies and that steelix.
Rating?
I give this Card a
4
out of 5 ****
Ok I must admit this is a good
card but when later in the road when future sets come out don’t be surprised
if fire decks come popping out. At that time I would give this card a 1. For now
this card is good even though it doesn’t have a strong basic to keep it
stable. At most steelix could be setup twice in a game. Most people could get
out 2-3 powered up sneasals before they go down for the count.
See ya Until The Next Jsc’s Junker…
