If we directly contrast this to the base set version, we can see that Koga prefers having his Weedle hold back for a turn before poisoning the opponent. When it does so, however, the venom is more effective. Interesting little nuanced difference that lends some flavor to the card. Maybe I’m just overanalyzing it, though.

  And the heads or tails effect of Sharp Stinger seems to imply that Weedle’s head stinger contains poisoning toxins while its rear contains paralyzing toxins.
