The current LVL X line-up is WAY more pathetic than the current ex line-up, so no problems there...
Then again, it's still one of the worst exes in the game. It might beat Mario some time(and get Revenged next turn for 2 prizes ftl) and the change to Fighting can come in handy too, but the HP and the pretty low damage make it an easy target. Unless it can setup and start disrupting dem energies, then he has the potential to become A Beast, I suppose I can promise you that. But there aren't that many energy disrupting things to support him in the current format, so he seems a bit out of place. Therefore, he won't see much play this format either. This + Mr. Mime could be/have been a nice combo tho...
