    It seems as though this card was like Spinarak, but better.

    This is one of the most broken Pokémon in the game.

    Gust of wind on Cleffa
    Pokemon Breeder, Dark Vileplume
    Mean Look

    Good Game, I won.

            The original Darkness energy damaged any non-dark pokemon after every turn. I kinda preferred that version.

          I was reading Mean Look’s text again and it just occurred to me: how crazy would be if you actually evolved Cleffa into Clefairy? Your opponent would never see that coming. You could even start attacking Vileplume with Metronome.

          well, to be fair, you could eventually play a clefairy on it to retreat :P

      Dunno if MégaLAG even comes around here anymore, but there are some things he’s forgetting, like needing to wait a turn to Evolve and having to flip when using “Mean Look” against a Baby Pokémon. Various counters released to this strategy, making it unreliable enough that people didn’t use it in tournament play. After all, sometimes you ran out of time or cards before you could Feint Attack your way to victory.

        Murkrow was played quite a bit, in 1 / 2 copies in a lot of Slowking + [insert card name here] builds. You don’t need to set this up on turn 1, it’s not a problem to wait one turn to evolve. And 50% chance to lock the Cleffa as an active is a bet you should take everyday, in a format so reliant on baby flips + focus band flips. One example on the top of my head is Brian Gurta’s Slowking / Dark Fera / Murkrow at Worlds 2002.

          Didn’t say it was played a lot. Just giving more perspective on what actually happened. It was a very nasty card, but this was a pretty nasty time in the game. I mean, Unlimited was all about the Donks, and early Modified… well, I know less about it than I care to admit on account I was no where near as good a player as I thought I was back then, and certainly wasn’t playing in a hotbed of the competitive scene. ;) Still, what I do remember is that this wasn’t seen as the be-all end-all deck, but it was known. People tried for the lock, but if your opponent had a counter or you just failed the flip, that could be all it took to cost you the game.
