That's not the point. You're wasting too much energy on a fragile Pokemon for a weak(ish) attack that will probably die in no time. (Do I have to keep following you around like a child?)
Look at this card; wouldn't this card be a whole lot sturdier? 1 Energy for 60 damage with only a tiny drawback. Yes please.
Why they give that card in a brand new tin is also beyond me.
