The jets of water it spouts from the rocket cannons on its shell can punch through thick steel.

This really does not need explanation: wow. Every time a rain dance variation is released, a competitive deck is born. This goes WITHOUT exception. The retreat cost is painful, but when you read the EX printed alongside this, you will realize just what a monster has been unleashed. They even had the courtasy of giving this an atypical grass weakness. The water weakness just became a death-knell for pokemon in this format.

Bumpity-bump. Was that more to do with there not being very many viable Water-type attackers for Feraligatr · HeartGold & SoulSilver (HS) #108 to even use?

“Oh noes. Now that we’ve released a new rain dancer, decks that actually use Stage 2 evolutions (alongside their signature EXes) are viable. Hydreigon is pretty good, too! There are too many viable decks that don’t completely rely on EXes! Mewtwo EX…optional? Sigilyph as tech against EX pokemon? How unfair!”
“Then let’s just print something that will completely ruin pokemon with abilities. That should get rid of three birds with one stone.”
And thus, Latias-EX · Plasma Freeze (PLF) #85 was born.
