Ancient Trait Whiscash

[RedGyarados]

Whiscash has a lot of potential. Able to drop a T2 earthquake for 120 by attaching a DCE and 2 water energy with the help of alpha growth. And for the earthquake recoil, there's rough seas to heal water pokemons. Would it be the next competitive cheap deck? Share your thoughts.

I'm afraid it's too many resources to waste on a 110 HP Pokemon when the payoff isn't big enough. You're not OHKO'ing any EXs despite the 4 energy requirement, and an Yveltal EX wipes your board clean on the next turn. You may get lucky here and there and catch someone off guard, but I don't think there's much here.

I don't think the attacks are that great. HOWEVER, that trait on a stage 1 has combo potential. If you could move the energy around (aromatisse or the new Eelectross) or use it some way (Camerrrupt EX), you could have something. And for what it's worth, the attacks aren't terrible.

Yes. As well as the other pokemon that has alpha growth. M Gardevoir EX and Camerupt EX can take advantage to the energies on board. But Xerneas does it better when it comes to fairies.

This is a damn good idea. I never would have thought of this. I can definitely see this being a way to accelerate energy for Fairy or power up Camerupt EX.
