    I never realized Crobat G was a throwback to this. Huh!

    “Apply Weakness and Resistance.” Is that OK?

      I think there was probably a mistranslation there. I think it’s supposed to read “Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for this attack. (Any other effects still happen.)” Other effects would be stuff like Pokemon-Powers or attacks that affect damage.

        Judging from the lack of space after the period, I kind of assumed is was just a typo. Whoever was writing card text may not have been paying attention to what they were doing.

          Apparently-and I haven’t personally tested this, I was just told this by a friend- weakness and resistance ARE applied to this attack in the Japanese-only sequel to the gameboy game. It’s likely not a typo at all.

            Weakness and Resistance are applied to the Bench? I could see it being applied to the Active possibly, but it is very rare to see Bench enforced Weakness/Resistance. This is one of the only cards I know of that does so:

            I was wondering when they were going to issue errata for Espeon but I guess it’s correct!
            I saw this played on Saturday, deals with quite a few things like benched Fossil Muk and does a respectable 70-80 to Gardevoir and Gallade for just 1 Energy!

            Yep, it’s definitely correct! Drifblim FB also has Shadow Ball (though it costs a couple more Energy and can only hit the Bench).

            According to Bulbapedia, it suppose to say “Don’t apply weakness and resistance”.

        Considering Elekid N1, it may not be a typo at all.

    New deck idea: Dark Golbat/Vileplume/Devolution Spray/Base Set Porygon

      Sounds fun. It gets even better if Base Set Porygon is replaced with Cool Porygon.
