Card of the Day: Gothitelle​

Bwah ha ha ha ha! Best artwork ever. Anyway, it's first attack is a bit too flippy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's about a 40% chance (EDIT: 43.75, Thanks bphaun) of working with a Victini in play. It's second attack could be nice against Eels and Garchomp, since those use up a lot of bench space. Even then, I'd be a pretty average attack. While the first attack is nice, especially against EXs. It's chances of working are to slim to be useful, and it also has a pretty bad weakness to Mewtwo.

I'd give it a 4/10 for playability. Artwork gets a 10/10. Who wants to see this thing bursts into a musical number? XD
 
With victini I think it's 50% chance to KO. it's worth the flip sometimes.
I'd give it a 6/10 for playability and a 10/10 for art. Love it!

Hmmm... This reminds of that "Strip Bare" Sharpedo from Triumphant.

Using one way of several to calculate the chance for Doom Decree's success (and sorry, I may have picked the harder way to solve for this):
Of course you fall within the 100% for the first attempt of the flips.
(1st try) Chance for 2 Heads of 2 Flips = 25%
If you hit within the 75% chance for missing, you can try again with Victini!
(2nd try) Chance for 2 Heads of 2 Flips = 25%

So, that is .25 times 1.00, plus .25 times .75, resulting in .4375 (or, 43.75%).

Put simply, average is that every 16 times Doom Decree is used, 7 will have KOs. Or, looking at this a different way, in order to get 3 KOs (against EX Pokemon, that'll give you the needed 6 prize cards), average says that Doom Decree will be used 6.857 times.


I like the artwork, and would love to see Gothitelle played (especially against Max Potion users, since instant-KO is fun). Unfortunately, it'd take some effort to get going, and I'm not a fan of 43.75%. The second attack can be useful, but it's not gonna sell it for me.

So! Artwork: 8.5/10; playability: 5/10
