I think the main problem is how low the damage reduction is. 70 is enough to knockout small basics but 50 damage reduction and scizor's 270 hp still allows pokemon to 2hko scizor.
Take the charizard matchup for example. You're up 1 prize card after knocking out a charmander. Now a revenging zard deals 210 damage, 160 after the 50 reduction. You can't even steel wing again because zard will still be able to ko it on the 2nd attack.
This needs to be paired with that tool card that reduces damage by 30 when paired with stage 1 pokemon to be even viable.
