    It should say something about the current metagame that the “ex” could be removed from the name and players would still only call it playable if it were slightly better

    Third and final appearance of this Poke-BODY.

    For an old schooler accustomed with Base to Neo sets as me, it is amusing that the Fire Dance attack is sort of a reverse Ember (as in the base set Charmander): for the same cost of FC and 30 damage, instead of discarding an energy you retrieve an energy from the discard pile (with the added bonus of choosing any pokemon to attach the energy). And there are still about 20 years of power creep after this Moltres…

      That’s not a very fair comparison though, not only it’s a 2-prize pokemon, but unlike charmander, moltres doesn’t evolve, speed it’s not like it can get better attacks on its own.

        Yeah you are right, and it is interesting to note that power creep happened at different rates to different kinds of pokemon. At this point (ex Team Rocket Returns), evolved ones got more power, while basics were in many cases nerfed. Anyway, what amuses me is the symmetry of Ember and this attack , not so much how more powerful it is. On other hand, they would never print this attack in any pokemon at the Base set era, although a few evolutions (specially stage 2) could have something like that by Neo and beyond: for example, Neo Discovery Beedrill (I’ll write about it there)
