“It shrouded itself with safeguard!”
This line just has too many “ifs” to be something that’s truly powerful. IF they attack this as a wurmple and fail to KO it, Silver Wind will be buffed up. IF you get a head on the coins toss as cascoon, you can attack for 70 on turn 2. IF they are relying on an evolved pokemon EX, this will shut them down. If the stars align right, you are pushing out 90 damage (from their two turn transitions worth of poison damage and silver wind) and blocking out their attacks.
If any link in this chain is broken, you’re looking at a dead wurmple, a virtually useless cascoon (seriously..nothing but ** for 20? What?), or an underwhelming EX pokemon that deals good damage on turn 3 before yielding 2 prize cards and putting you at a disadvantage.
It’s an exciting card to field and it’s not a bad line, but it’s just not the best pokemon to use

A moth so powerful it had to be nerfed with TWO weaknesses…
