Mega Manectric could help the Pyroar BREAK out by giving it 2 fire. Also, Vivillion can give Pyroar BREAK one fire, meaning one Blacksmith and one manual fire could be dangerous to any non-Mega EX that does not have more than the magic 180 HP by default and no attached Fighting Fury Belt to make it 210-220... Even then, if Volcarona gave the pyroar 2 fire energies already by solar birth, then with a Muscle Band plus Scheme(to tack on a total of 40 additional damage to the base 180 for a total of 220 damage) plus Faded Town, no competitively viable EX(sorry, Wailord, that means you are excluded), not even Megas, can withstand it...
^ Given the ideas above, I think this card could be toxic to the metagame, as it would be too easy to KO EXes w/o Focus Sash(meaning the only survivors of such attacks consist of only fighting-types, and yet, since focus sash is on its way out, given it wasn't reprinted in CP4 OR XY11, if this Pyroar card isn't looked at for possible banning, at least reprint focus sash in the first S/M set, just to buy the target player time to carry out the only way to keep his/her EXes from getting ko'd from this monster: an attack that 1HKOes the pyroar for one prize card instead of taking a 180 base damage attack that the other EXes cannot bear, especially after a flare command prior to the 1HKO, especially since KO'ing an EX results in giving the one delivering the EX KO two prize cards...
^ Can you think of counters to this pyroar monster, or do you think this card is ban-worthy?
