how ya doin' pojo and pojo fans!
i am here today to compare 2 cards (that in my opinion are just totally
awesome). wiggly vs sneasel, which is the bettet one? well lets compare:
Hit Points
Wiggly with 80 hp is good for a stage 1. It can
take some damage while laying it on (personally i love to play golden berry
with wiggly, but that is me)
Sneasel has a mediocore 60 hit points. i say this
cause, no, its not bad for a basic, but with always seeing 70 hp with great
pokes, it just kinda takes it down a notch. it can stay alive though with
berries and defenders.
Attacks
Well, lets first take a look at the first attack,
considering they both have one. Both attacks require flips. Wiggly, can put
your opponent asleep half the time, stopping your opponent from retreating or
attacking. But beware, scoop up and switch can counter this.
Sneasel has a pretty good first attack if ya
think about it. sure, it is decided by the flip, and normally you will have a
darkness energy on him to begin with so it will automatically to 10 more
damage (10 MORE damage, so this is providing you do any damage at all). 30
damage for 1 nrg is great, add a darkness its 40, and even plus powers!
Now the second attack is what makes these pokemon.
Wiggly's attack is just insane. 60 on turn 2? thats unstoppable! many cards
will fill you bench while you fly threw your deck getting wiggly out. this is
not as hard as some think. 4 oak, bill, pc search, finder, and sort of card
drawing power just makes this card more and more broken.
Sneasel has a just wrong attack. this is capable
of 140 damage on turn 2! (not that it matters, its just nice to say that kind
of thing, and i am sure sneasel dont mind :p). only 2 dark nrg, (or rainbow)
will do this with a full bench, just like wiggly. this is a quick, fast,
damaging attack which is what pokemon players should use in decks.
Bottom Stats
Bottom stats are important to, cause they help ya
take an advantage over your opponent and know what to do. Sneasel first this
time. HOLY COW! this guy's stats are unmatchable (except gastly but... hmph...AAAAAAHAHAHHA
sorry...) no weakness, hmmmmm uhhhh that is good, lol. no extra damage is good
because of his lower hp. resistance to psy helps against big hitting mewtwo.
hey wait, he doesn't, nooo, he cant..., HE DOES, FREE RETREAT! i love pokes
with free retreat, it creats speed and more options, so you dont have to waste
that nrg getting him back to your bench in case of trouble.
Now wiggly's stats aren't that great. weakness to
fighting hurts, especially with gligar and the still played chan. fighting
takes wiggly down pretty ez. psy resistance again is good for mewtwo. but 2
retreat is lousy, but, ya dont really ever want to retreat a wiggly unless
stopping a prize. best bet with this is switch.
Weaknesses
It is pretty obvious that both are pretty
vunlarable to ser, especially sneasel. if your oppenent sees a sneasel just
sitting there he just cant wait to draw a super and just mess you up. sneasel
is also vunlarable to gust. if your powerin up a sneasel your opponent is
gonna get a little scared and gust him out and kill it as fast as possible.
another one is that he wants to, but he knows he cant use scoop up. if ya got
a sneasel with 40, 50 damage on it ya dont wanna scoop him up and lose half
your dark nrg, but he is just a sitting duck there on your bench. use berries
for this i suggest. (BTW, wiggly is one of sneasel's biggest enemies, play
sprout tower to take care of that balloon)
Wiggly is also just is askin for a super. a dce
and nrg is what goes on to wiggly and that is what will come off if you dont
watch out. another weakness is just plain ol' his weakness. fighting
takes out wiggly very fast and very painfully. a hitmonchan is a big enemy if
you dont take him out fast, as well as newly found friend of scther, gligar.
whatch out for fighting against wiggly.
My biggest solution to a big problem with these
cards, is play gyms. not just any gym, no removal is good for wiggly, since
they usually wont wanna get rid of 2 more cars, and eco gym is good for
sneasel so you get your nrg back right into your and no threat of it going to
your discard pile. just be careful of other gyms that will take this out.
So which is better? You may have to be the judge
of that. Wiggly come from jiggly, so it isn't as cut and dry as sneasel is,
but the hp really hurts sneasel, and the fact he is soooo prone to removal.
but then again, his bottom stats kill. so you be the judge, which is better?
personally, i think that wiggly is a tad better, but only because i have had
practice and played with him for a while, were i have only begun to play
sneasel. so thats all for me, thanks for reading!
This is matt for all your poke-needs....
