    This card is so ridiculous yet it’s not actually been very good at all because it’s outclassed by speedier attackers that can hit for higher (eg night marchers). Maybe in the PRC-on rotation that looks to be slower and kinder to evolution decks (as long as M Rayquaza-EX doesn’t have a stranglehold on the format) this will get a chance?

      Doubt it. [N] has no good evolution acceleration (Greninja has Froakie, [G] Forest of Giant Plants, etc.) and it seems like Big Basics/Garb/Raichu seems to be the most dominant threat right now.

        yes, its super slow to set up, and its attacks arent even that good. Shatter is fine, just not for a stage 2. Power howl can be worked around, even with 4 cards its only 80 dmg. Steam blast is a OHKO If you have Muscle Band, but it is very expensive (2 attacks with Steam Blast is gonna cost 10 energy!) and using it 2 turns in a row seems very hard to pull of.
