    I’m honestly quite surprised at the lack of attention this card is getting. Drive Off is a very good Ability.

      Since your opponent gets to chose it’s not as effective as just playing Pokemon (Reversal) Catcher.

      It’s a lot like Pokemon Circulator vs Pokemon Reversal, even though it was mostly used to move Babies.

    Swellow’s statistical inadequacy, even at the -onset- of a rotation likely to continue power creep’s dreaded advance is probably at fault.That being said, I wouldn’t brush this off as an inferior catcher. This guy’s ability is repeatable, requires no flip,and can be fired off while it’s on the bench.

    A totally respectable tech in Unlimited 150. 60 for 3 Colorless isn’t even bad in that format and the disruption is really annoying.
    Much easier to get into play than Infernape 4 LV.X and doesn’t risk giving away 2 prizes like Mightyena ex (which I have played anyway!)
