Subject: Igglybuff vs. Muk (by Matthew!)
Okay, I'm here to discuss the Iggly vs. Muk debate
that was started when a certain Nite Owl suggested that Igglybuff is weak and
Muk is strong, when the popular community of Pokémon card players suggested
otherwise.
Let me tell you something, before I even get to
their many and multiple differences.
MUK IS A DECK TYPE! IGGLYBUFF
IS A TECH CARD!
Actually, that sums up most of what I'll say, so if
you're just skimming, you can go to the bottom, check my e-mail address, and
leave. But if you want to see the summary, here
it is.
Special
Property
Muk
Igglybuff
Score
Stage of evolution
1 Basic i
1, m 0.
Takes out anything
besides Slowking,
DK Plume, and
some Unowns
Yes No
i 1, m 1.
That's it. Muk takes out everything with a power,
excepting another Muk. Igglybuff:
Takes out
Does
NOT take out
Slowking
Blastoise
DK
Plume Venusaur
Unowns K, D, N, and
M Feraligatr
Fortitude* Igglybuff
Invisible
Wall*
Or basically anything else.
Shapeshift*
That's it. Iggly is useful to take out these
Pokémon. Muk takes out everything, making it better in a sense, but Muk can be
tough to get out. Igglybuff, you just plop a couple on the bench! It works with
other Pokémon with powers, so another feather in its cap. So... remember, Muk is
a DECK, and Iggly is a TecH card!
This has been Matthew!
Please E-mail me with comments, questions, or other
things Igglybuff stops.
Thank you for reading!
*Fortitude and Invisible Wall can be stopped, but
the Pokémon must be benched to be Gazed, and must stay benched for the power to
be stopped by the time you attack. Brock's Ninetails can be gazed, and
then the evolution is discarded, but It also must be benched for Gaze
to work. It doesn't get the evolution back if it becomes active later,
though.
