If its two tail feathers are standing at attention, it is proof of good health. It soars elegantly in the sky.

    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!)
