Raikou EX

My pointers on Raikou EX:

Better sniper than Zapdos, although Zapdos does a more efficient job if its in the early game.

Better Eel-killer through sniping, significantly better WITH Catcher by pulling one Eel active while sniping another.

Better retreat cost than both Zekrom EX and Zekrom, with Skyarrow could prove to be an alternative way to run ZekEels that is somewhat like Zebstrika-Eels but Basic-oriented.

Inferior in damage output, 100 being max and if there are no support Pokemon in play to snipe, loses its advantage drastically.

Terrakion target. Huge bullseye on its head. Just like the rest of ZekEels anyway.

Not at all a good starter but not as horrible as others.

However against Terrakion, you can catcher a Terrakion with no energy and shoot the others. That way you can weaken them and deny them the option for a strong retaliate.
I think this is gonna be king :D *pre-ordering one now*
xD
 
I can see it maybe being a 1-of, but I'm still not completely sold on it. Seems like a waste of a lot of resources to me.
