    “The fact that I am hailing a utility card that has its problems as the best card in the set should tell you just how bad of a set Evolutions is.”

      I realize Andrew Wamboldt is a more reliable source than myself, but he may be mistaken.

      Not about the quality of the set, just that Dragonite-EX may not be the best card in the set. Not that many rivals for it, just are one or two others that might be as good or better (though in the case of the latter only by a whisker). ;)

        I think Raticate decks will pick up wins, but not be a deck that is counted among the top decks, while I view M Gardevoir-EX STS as a top deck that appreciates Dragonite. Does this mean it’s the better card? Which is better, a card that is capable of defining its own Tier 2-3 deck, or a card that is a helpful but non-central component of a Tier 1-2 deck? Depends on what we mean ;)

      This is one of the best cards in the set?! I got it from a Solgaleo tin! Also the only Evolutions pack I got.

    This card strikes me as somewhat of borrowing a few ideas from RO Dark Dragonite, even if it falls short of what I’d consider a retrain.
    · Pull Up is a rejigged Summon Minions.
    · Dark Dragonite didn’t have the Hyper Beam attack, but its Pokédex entry did refer to it as the the “God of Destruction”. As I’ve now commented on a few cards (BS Dragonair is probably going to be the go-to for Hyper Beam related comments), the original Japanese name of Hyper Beam, はかいこうせん [𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐢 𝐊𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐧], better translates as “Destruction Beam”. Dragonite was capable of learning the move, and Lance’s Dragonite in Pokémon RGBY tended to spam the attack and could very much wreck entire teams with it – destroy them, even.

    Counterpoints to the above;
    (1) you could alternatively read into this card as BS Dragonair having finally evolved and the Ability is incidental to the fact, or
    (2) that Dragonite’s Japanese name, カイリュー [𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲𝐮, with an emphasis on the 𝐊𝐚𝐢] is a better explanation as to why the Rocket dex entry mentions the association with being the God of Destruction.
