      Now that we have maractus, the image in the card is like Beedrill is being cornered by maractus’s (maracti?)

        Maractus. The plural of every Pokémon is its own name.

    Debut of “Triple Poison.” It skipped gens 4 and 5, but has appeared in every gen since!

    This card is an interesting example of how by that point the developers were starting to perceive they need to make evolutions better by improving the damage/effect-by-energy ratio in relation to basics. It has the same attack in cost and base damage as base set Weedle but with triple poison. If we calculate poison as 20 damage (1 counter in your turn and another on your opponent’s), then 50% chance of doing is equivalent to 10 damage. If you analyze cards from the base to neo sets, this is more or less the way they “price” normal poison when calculating the energy cost of attacks (at least is what I perceive!). Of course there are exceptions and rounding can be either up as in that Weedle or down as in Fossil Ekans.

    Triple poison would equals 60 damage by this logic, so 50% of chance of doing it would equals 30 damage, which means this attack would have the value of 40 damage by just one grass energy! (As I discussed when commenting Base set Hitmonchan, in early sets one color energy is equivalent to 15 damage). That is way I liked this card when I was a child, naively thinking it was overpowered… (The true power of card takes way more to consider than my simple math of attack cost…)
