Thanks for posting this. Well, I first know this card on google before someone posting the translation.
- Beedrill - 2-3 Geodudes, I already said that before.

Do you REALLY want people setting up Vileplume, Venusaur, Lunrantis, or Araquanid on turn one?
Forest of Giant Plants is stupid with Decidueye GX, but frankly it's more useful for non-GX anyways.
Having Paralysis lock is always good e.g. Accelgor. The poison damage is nice with a seviper or two. It's would have just a fun rouge deck. Definitely not top tier but for someone who loves Beedrill this could have been fun to play. (plus if you were playing forest you could have had a couple decidueye for bonus damage)
I don't get the hate sure its slow but you can do a almost infinite lock with devo spray and double puzzles serpentine strangle could make this even better! I do not by all means think this is good enough to be meta but a god troll or even rogue deck!
Wally turn one is bad for Mismagius is what he was saying. It is quite good with Trevenant and Greninja.
Non-GX pokemon were exactly the reason the card got banned. Vileplume and Trevenant item lock on turn one kept players from actually playing the game. Getting 3 Decidueye-GX in play on turn one is inconsistent at best, and there are better decks for turn 1 damage (Night March, Latios Donk).
Coming from someone who played Yanmega BREAK, I'm glad FoGP got banned.
I really don't think its bad for Mismagius at all. Anything that locks your opponent out of doing something before they even have the chance to do it is good.
In Expanded, run Mismagius with Laserbank, Choice Band, Garbodor (Garbotoxin and Trashalanche) and lots of denial and you've got a speedy lock deck doing decent damage for only one energy with a high damage finisher. You could also run it with Trevenant which has the potential to be even nastier.
I don't think it will have "Seismitoad level of dominance". What does it have to do with Toad? I think it will have Giratina level of playability.
Let's hope for a playable Beedrill GX in the future!
Bee drill won worlds one year FYI
About Mismagius...
I'm very cautious about overselling any card in the game, and this one is no different. Let me carefully analyze the card:
-110 HP: not too small, but not very bulky either. Can survive normal hits... It's okay.
-Dark Weakness: Dark is still well supported in this format to deal damage, but fortunately it only gives up 1 prize. Also, it dodges the psychic weakness.
-Stage 1: This can be worked around with wally, but I'd think most people as of late would rather start out with Brigette. It will probably rarely hit turn one because of this. Also, this does limit its tech-ability - you probably wouldn't add a line with a stage 2.
-Chaos Wheel: Giratina's move, only weakened to 30 damage... for one psychic energy. Not as strong as item lock, though blocking many cards is quite nice. But 30 damage just isn't enough to use as its main attack, unless you hit for weakness and add choice band. It could work for stalling for a little bit as you develop your own bench.
-Black Magic: If you wanted to break the lock in exchange for damage, this might help. Maybe could be used if hand sizes become a huge deal. But the curse is you'd avoid hand disruption, and your opponent gets to counter back at you with more cards to play - As well as having the Chaos Wheel lock removed. Also requires 3 energy to work...I'd only use it if it did a very important KO.
Overall, I can see many people trying to deck build with it. But whether it functions well in practice, I really can't say.

I can see this being pretty good...3 years ago.
No, what it means is that it provides two energy, but those energies are every type. For instance, your active could attack with an attack that requires a fire energy, but also benefit from Magearna's ability.
While I don't agree with some of the things said, I think this holds true. That's why I think Garbodor GRI has to be a great partner for this.
It is much less likely that your opponent has many options other than special energies, tools, stadiums and items on hand. So playing both these Pokémon definitely limits your opponent's options as they are basically left with their supporters and Pokémon which they can freely use.
Your words exactly. If you were talking exclusively about Mismagius, you would say "Turn one Wally is a pretty bad play for Mismagius".
However, Trevenant doesn't really have much to do with the subject. That is true.
Am I the only one who for once would like to see a Beedrill line that is purple bordered? I mean it is a poison type as well and poison has been purple bordered since the DP era. I mean even Tentacruel line has gotten that treatment and we see Beedrill far more than Tentacruel.
OK yes Mismagius has Chaos Wheel for one energy but here's a few differences to what made Giratina EX far more of a deadly threat. For one there's far less Megas, if any that are going to be highly played which both need their Links and their rotated Mega Turbo and with it's Renegade Pulse Giratina was meant to fight Mega Pokemon. Field Blower removes Stadiums allowing you an easy way to remove Stadiums besides playing your own. -And if somehow it does become a threat we have Pokemon Rangers to remove it's effect entirely.
Now that THAT"S taken care of the Beedrill is a neat stage two and has some of the things I like to see: It has very cheap attacks and free Retreat. It also has an Anthem Pokemon with Promo Lurantis so you could have a good attack for very cheap. The other stages are most likely not going to be great but for that simple rare card it gets right to the point.
