    Terrible, even at the time. One must wonder what the point of this promo card was ,other than to make up a deliberately abysmal one and market it to players who thought that the gimmick was “cool.” This is a 60 HP stage 1 pokemon (with a weakness that is more common than its resistance, no less). For reference, this HP count is so low that some of the post-power-creep Meowths LOSE HP upon evolution (…)

    In order to pull off its signature gimmick of poisoning multiple pokemon, you will have to play meowth, evolve it, play two energies on this, and then flip a coin. To switch the opponent out, you must then flip another coin, taking another turn. To poison the second, you must flip YET ANOTHER COIN. When you’re dedicating this much energy into poisoning your opponent’s pokemon, you really could just be dedicating all of that energy to actually taking them down.

    For comparison, Ivysaur requires just one additional energy to fire off his poison attack, one which does not. He can then return to his 30 damage attack and actually get something accomplished.

    Ivysaur is a Stage 1 pokemon that can STILL evolve. Something is wrong here

        I totally forgot that poison doesn’t remain on pokemon after they switch. . Woops.

        That makes the card even -worse- than I imagined
