Thoughts with Cradily (Plasma Blast)?

[TJed73]

So...what to make of this Cradily that has now officially hit the format. Will it change the game or just be another card with a great move that is never used.
I had a deck in mind that uses it, but I was wondering what everyone else is thinking about this card.

For the record, my deck has 4-4 Cradily, 2 Hydreigon (NV), 2 Hydreigon (DrE), 2 Dusknoir (BC), 2 Darkrai EX and a Tornadus EX (PLF).

For those of you that dont know, heres the Cradily.

 

[Scattered mind]

It might be fun with vilplume BC and leavanny NV

Or maybe hydreigon NV and gardevoir NXD

Still I dont know how much it will work in competitive play

 

[Momaster12]

I agree. It won't be seeing much competitive play but i think it could work well at prereleases and some a Fun decks.

 

[Teal]

It can make a very fun toolbox deck but it is too inconsistent for tournament play.

 

[Riskbreakers]

You are still too slow for this format, Cradily.

 

[Scattered mind]

You are still too slow for this format, Cradily.

For this bad format that will hopefully disappear fast


it could work well if it was not a fossil pokemon . maybe

The league I attend, the owner has a deck based around and he destroys everyone. I think it works out well

 

[Luispipe8]

Or maybe hydreigon NV and gardevoir NXD

Gardevoir only doubles BASIC [P] Energy attached to [P] Pokémon, so it will still require 4 Energy.

 

[PieterPie]

tried it in the pre release today, but i was super dumb and didnt have any other pokemon stage 2, and didnt notice that cradilly is sucky and counts as stage 1 for being fossil. :/
I already dislike the card (still got third though with a deck that was built around something it couldnt even do)

 

[TheLuxChomp]

Lileep, why you evolve from a fossil?! If not for that, this would be a lot better.

 

[Riskbreakers]

You are still too slow for this format, Cradily.

For this bad format that will hopefully disappear fast


it could work well if it was not a fossil pokemon . maybe

Even still, EXs aren't going anywhere which makes this card near unplayable

For fun in Unlimited, not for competetive play:

15 Grass Energy

4-4 Cradily (Prehistoric Lileep)
4 Virizion Ex
2 Meganium (Energy Trans)
3 Sceptile (Wild Growth)
4 Torterra (Green Blast)

4 Professor Oak's Visit - Draw 3 cards. Then choose a card from your hand and put it on the bottom of your deck.
4 Skyla
2 Fossil Excavator - Search your deck or your discard pile for a Trainer card that has Fossil in its name or a Stage 1 or a Stage 2 Evolution card that evolves from a Fossil. Show it to your opponent and put it into your hand. If you searched your deck, shuffle your deck afterward.
2 N

2 Professor Oak (Juniper, but not a supporter)
4 Ultra Ball

4 Root Fossil Lileep

2 Miasma Valley - Whenever any player puts a Basic Pokemon (excluding G or P Pokemon) from his or her hand onto his or her Bench, put 2 damage counters on that Pokemon.
