    Kind of neat because it is a promo from the first movie. Other than that, he is sort of junky (he’s a STAGE 2 XP)

      Just because all the stage 2s now have 130 HP doesn’t mean they did back then.

    This could have worked as a stage 1 back then, but the pokepower is REALLY uninteresting. The “return this to the top of your deck” thing basically amounts to you drawing a card in the long run, outside of using Oak variants or protecting yourself from targeted discard. You’re basically turning the top card of the deck into a permanent addition to your hand…which basically means that you functionally just drew a card. That begs the question: why did you run this thing in the first place?

    Jungle Scyther performs at a similar level, but happens to be unevolved.

    Of course, they eventually popped out a pokemon (FRLG pidgeot ) that cranked up the ability to insane levels. This is kind of a continuity from bad single-card acquisition to awesome single-card acquisition

    draw 1, return 1 to the top of your deck at radom/draw 1, discard 1 at random
    draw 1, return 1 to the top of your deck/draw 1, discard 1
    draw 1, shuffle one into your deck
    draw 1
    Search 1, discard 1/return 1 to your deck at random
    Search 1, it goes on top of your deck instead of your hand
    search 1, discard 1/return 1 to your deck
    search 1, shuffle one 1 into your deck
    search 1

    That’s more than just power creep ,though, that’s a comparison between an awesome card for its time and a subpar one for its time

      Another in-depth review :P Someone I know found a use for this! He’s making a deck with Salamence from Arceus (everyone’s trying that guy at the moment :S). He’s running Dark Dragonair anyway so this guy’s going in to put energy on top of the deck so Salamence can use his Power on it.

    I like that this card is called Dragonit in German, even though Dragonite’s German name is Dragoran.

      Let’s not talk about Promo Mewtwo’s French name…
      « Deuxmiaou »… Which means “Two Meow”.

    I might be guessing that if something like this were to be released today, the Ability could sound like, “Once during your turn, you may look at the top card of your deck. You may switch it with a card in your hand.”
    Abilities generally aren’t disabled by Special Conditions nowadays.
