Curtis
Bulbapedia lists this as an Unlimited archetype. Anyone care to explain?
Mantidactyle
Fossil Muk is just better
Dark Kira
Bulbapedia doesn’t know anything about Unlimited

Pros vs. fossil muk:
This ability is not shut down by special conditions
OMG it can poison for one energy!!!1
Cons vs. Fossil Muk:
Can be shut down by effects that target only Poke Bodies.
It is an EX and yields the opponentboth prize advantage and card advantage upon death.
It needs to be active, and, as such…
-you have to sacrifice an energy if you want Sableye to proc overeager!
-it is hopeless vs. the Pokemon EX that non-ability-donk decks will employ.
Hypnotoxic laser won’t expose you to donk decks, which is a pro, but the sacrifice you’re taking against pretty much every other matchup is just too steep.
IMO, the person who made the edit probably just wrongly assumed that all wizards era cards would be banned from unlimited play.
HEZ
In straight Unlimited donkfest then it’s strictly worse than Fossil. When Fossil Muk was legal in U150 the ex at least had the advantage of being playable in hit and run strategies so you could use your own Powers then attack and switch into Muk ex.
