I saw the post and was about to say this card sucks cause its budew but ngl this card is kinda funny maybe it could see play? like a cleffa kinda card used early game to stop candies and stuff

2008 called and wants its baby back, but now it's a teenager.

Could be broken as a one of in banette ex to guarantee the item lock turn one going second

 

[freshpeasy]

Damn is this not the first budew since the dpp block?:OOO

welcome back

That's pretty nuts, Budew is the longest unprinted Pokémon AND it's got a pretty busted attack. Item locking on a Basic without even requiring an energy is huge.

I have a feeling this will see as much if not more play than Cleffa. Using this going second can completely nullify your opponent's chances of setting-up. Decks that rely on Rare Candy like Pidgeot, Charizard, Dusknoir, etc can't do anything. No Nest Ball, Ultra Ball, Buddy-Buddy Poffin, Earthen Vessel either. There's a reason why Banette ex is suddenly seeing a lot of play and scoring good results.

30 hp is a down side, but a energy less, item lock, free retreater that is poffin searchable sound quite fun.

WHY IS THIS NOT AN IGGLYBUFF CARD

It's actually a pretty crazy card, guaranteed item lock until they KO it. I think it might work better in off-meta decks, that need a bit of time to set up without some broken engine.

 

[piyuv]

Free retreat, free attack with item lock? I don’t see any reason not including one in any deck

 

[StrangeServer]

Free retreat and item lock on a poffin basic?What are they thinking lmao

 

[Mattnemite]

Item block turn one with the no prize card energy would be so funny

welcome back

But it’s no energy and only 30hp

 

[ronangorski]

Now we just need to wait for the Chingling card and all babies get a new card. Yay

 

[pokeseoul]

what about pichu

 

[Cybershroom]

This will see play as a one off in Banette/Gardy or Dusknoir, now we don't have to rely on T1 salavador or hitting heads on the shuppet.

 

[MarlinRimes]

Could be a funny 1 of in control. Idk if it should be included in every deck tho

But it’s no energy and only 30hp

not my point though
