What a funny card. I love it.

 

[Yaginku]

I mean it's alright. Doing 80 damage isn't anything special. At least it benefits from Metang existing.

 

[MagnaDrake]

Hang on, translation doesnt seem right. I'm not seeing any kanji that says it needs to be on the active to apply the recoil.

If I'm wrong, very well. If not, I think it makes it a step better because you can't just bench snipe it willy nilly.

 

[MarlinRimes]

No thoughts, brain empty

 

[LunarFlare0]

Finally I have a card to pair Rocky Helmet with <3

 

[DarkPatchTCG]

Now its a little better

 

[Cyndaquil987]

I wonder what SIRs there will be in this set, and if it'll be a 3-2 Pokémon to trainer split or a 4-3 split

 

[Grim Thoughts]

Honestly this is better than I was expecting. I mean, it’s not good, but I like it a lot. Might be a funny deck with Metang, Full Metal Lab, Bravery Charm

 

[ZekromFan]

Against Gardy this could be really good

 

[Chicken008]

Wait, Orthworm has legs!?

 

[Gother]

Forget about Metang, use Tera Lapras to put 16 energies into this beast in a single turn and watch the world collapse.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Wait, Orthworm has legs!?

It does. If you played Scarlet/Violet, it can extend them when it performs certain moves; the best way to see them is during its Titan boss fight. Although Orthworm has extendable legs that resemble fists, it can't learn punching moves at all.

 

[F4nt45m]

He's just a silly little guy!

 

[SlowbroTCG]

He seems like he's guarded at first... but if you get to know him he's actually a sweetie xox

 

[LightYearLiam]

Wait, Orthworm has legs!?

thanks, I hate it

 

[Bewear The TERRIBLE]

Somewhat similar to the old Galarian Stunfisk V. Very cool card. Will definitely be playing it against the meta.

 

[Bewear The TERRIBLE]

Wait, Orthworm has legs!?

The better to pummel things with.
