We all know, and have
witnessed, the wonders on First Turn Attacks. Only a few GOOD Poke'mon have
this ability, such as Hitmonchan, Rocket's Zapdos, Electabuzz, Rocket's
Hitmonchan, and others, while still being able to do considerable damage.
Some articles say that cards like these should be banned, but I disagree
with them, for obvious reasons.
Take Articuno, for
example. It is used in every Raindance, but it can't attack until turn your
THIRD unless it has Blastoise's assistance by using its Poke'mon
Power, Raindance, as Articuno's attacks are extremely powerful, and Blizzard can
be combined with Brock if it backfires. To top that off, No Weakness,
Fighting Resistance and only two Colorless retreat just simply can't go
down the drain.
And this is
one of the reason why people always use these cards: Electabuzz, Hitmonchan,
Rocket's Zapdos, Lapras, Rocket's Hitmonchan, Ditto(depends on which
Poke'mon it Transforms into), and even Scyther, though it's not in the first
turn catergory, but we have to take into account that Swords Dance doubles damage,
it doesn't deal it...
So, before you say that cards like these
should be banned, remember WHY.
Wouldn't you like first turn attacks for
great damage? That's a good deal!
Thanks for hearing me out!!!!
