Hello pojo readers!
today im here to talk about one of the "new" type- Metal
this is my favorite type, so i though well look at it:
Genesis
Steelix- one of my favorite cards, lets take a look at it:
HP: 110, i would say excellent hp.
 
1st attack: 2  tackle  20, an ok attack, could be much better.
 
2nd attack: M2  Tail crush  30+- flip a coin, if heads this attack does 50 damage, can do 50 damage on turn 2, excelent! 30 damage on turn 2 is ok too.
 
stage 1: *cough* wiggly *cough*
 
weakness/resistence: w: fire, r: grass, the most usefull fire pokemon is magmar (fossil), so it can be blocked with 2, 3 metal energys. the most usefull grass poke is scyther, so it is excelent, without swords dance, it cant touch steelix.
 
reatreat: 4 is really crappy, but with swich it can be done, & murkrow is way not a problem.
 
overall: can be used as an offensive  or as a defensive poke, excellent. way above tourny level!
 
skarmory-i dont really like it, but....
HP- 60, pretty lousy, but with gold berry & steel wing its ok
 
1st attack- 1  claw  20- flip a coin, if tails this attack does nothing, i dont like it, what are chans for?
 
2nd attack- M2  steel wing  30- flip a coin, if heads during your oppoents next turn, reduce any damage done to skarmory by 20, also a coin flipping attack, it is more a defensive attack & costs M2, i dont like it either.
 
basic pokemon- excellent
 
weakness/resistence-same as steelixs
 
reatreat cost- 2 is not the best, but its fine
 
overall- hes fine to a metal/chansey defensive deck, & some other defensive decks, nothing more. almost tourny level
 
discovery
fortreses- its fine, better then skarmory thats for sure.
 
HP- 80, not sure.... anyway, thats ok, remember wiggly?
 
poke power- spikes is cool, can finish babys quickly with some fortreses on your bench.
 
attack- rapid spin is fine, but not that good, & its a fine combo with its power.
 
1st stage: *cough* wiggly *cough*
 
weakness/resistece: same as steelix
 
reatreat cost- 2 is fine, & u can swich him with rapid spin
 
overall: pretty good with lots on your bench, about tourny level
 
scizor-
HP- 70 is fine... like scyther, no improvment
 
1st attack- its a super fang for metal energy, not good, u can pay 1 for super fang at reticates one
 
2nd attack- avg of 40 damage for 3, not that good, not that bad
 
stage 1: *cough* clafable *cough*
 
weakness/resistence: same as steelix......
 
reatreat: 2 is not good for a scyther evolotion, i expected 1 if not 0.
 
overall: keep him out of your decks & keep scyther in, hes not a tourny level, not close.
 
thanx for reading this long metal report.
