Hey guys, I picked up a single copy of this card on PTCGO a couple of days ago and it seemed to me at least like a great tech card. I was wondering what you guys thought or what the general consensus is on it/ where people use it.
Ive been throwing this in a few different decks, most recently in a Mega Houndoom deck I made because it is a decent Regice answer- 2hkoing with a muscle band and forcing them to spend 3 turns attaching basic water energy vs a speed deck which is generally a bad idea. He also can be the extra 10 damage you need to get an EX knockout with houndoom (or with a giovanni + musc band he can be the extra 50 dmg needed to ohko 210hp megas like mega mewtwo Y), and can buy breathing space vs all the fast, low hp DCE attackers in the format, granting free turns by discarding their energy and also forcing them to charge their pokemon with 2 attachments. Lastly, it can potentially cause all lock decks like Giratina and Seismitoad EX problems since they all use special energy and need to attack every turn.
Every deck uses special energy now too, so this guy never seems like dead weight- plus hes usable/splashable in basically any deck with a (C) energy cost that also allows him to surprise your opponent by attacking the same turn he is played down.
I know hes just a utility pokemon and a tech, but what do you think of this card and do you use him in any decks? It seems very relevant and usable.
