Bianca... Good? Bad? Ugly?

So what? If you're running a deck that depletes your hand alot then yes go for Bianca, If not then run PONT with Copycat or Cheren. It's not perfect by any means but at least you're getting a good draw out of it. Cheren is just an upgraded version of Mom's Kindness from the last 2 formats and not very many players ran that card at all.

Copycat is just as conditional as Bianca is because If your Opponent is low on hand size and you need a bigger hand then it won't do you any good. Bianca makes up for that by giving you hand refreshment, just test it out and see what I mean. It's foolish to label a card as bad unless you've playtested for yourself. I've tested Copycat and while it helps it can also hurt as well.
 
^The only decks that really play Copycat much play Yanmega or Vileplume as well. For other decks, PONT is more reliable.

Bianca is only advantageous to Cheren if you have 3 or less cards in-hand, including the Supporter. That doesn't happen much for me at least; and when it does happen, how likely is it that one of those 3 cards is a Bianca? And honestly, once you get down to 2 cards besides the Supporter, PONT is almost just as effective– it's unlikely you'll have Bianca AND a card you want to keep in your hand for use that turn or next in any given 3 cards.

I find it funny how much people keep saying it's bad, for as much as Magnezone is being hyped and played.

Oh right, because Magnezone is EXACTLY the same as Bianca! It's not like Magnezone has a great attack, or a useful typing, or even doesn't take up your one Supporter for the turn with Magnetic Draw. I mean, it's completely comparable to Bianca.[/sarcasm]
 
I've just gotten hand-locked with Birchs infinitely before, and it sucked. That's why I see no real potential in Bianca; PONT is better usually. Bianca is playable, but I'd prefer PONT. I'm not hating on it: it IS usable. Please get that straight. It's almost useful, unlike other cards like Cheerleaders and all them useless supporters.
 
Junk arm + bianca can draw you cards you know...and almost everyone runs junk arm...As a side note..she does look good doesnt she? :O
 
She has a five head and derpy eyes. Oaks been around and knows the deal. He's got like 15 years experience. Pont is where it's at

Here's a thought, why not run both PONT and Bianca?

Why run both when only one is probably better for your deck and running only 4 of it is enough?
 
Why argue over which is better? Run them all! I run:
PONT
Sage's
CopyCat
Juniper

and will probably end up running Bianca! It's best if you can get one every turn, so why not? I get T2 setups 70-80% of the time. (I mean, I've been working on this deck for months now, it should be running smooth! :D)
 
I've been testing with 4 PONT and 3 Bianca in my Lost World deck recently, and it actually works quite well. I might try out Cheren though to see if it's better.
 
I've played with Bianca at a Pre-release and on my own time. It isn't the best card as it does torture you every once and a while when your hand is unfavorable and loaded with unnecessary supporters\evolutions. On the other hand, it feels pretty boss to be able to draw 5 cards in a pinch, especially if you don't run magnezone. I truly believe it comes down to deck choice and personal preference (more so the latter).
 
I've been testing, and find a 2/0, 2/1, or a 3/1 cut on Cheren/Bianca works best. You get the consistance of Cheren with the extra 'boost' of Bianca.
