    Spiral drain makes this an acceptable wall for a stage 1-of-3 pokemon…but it’s tympole. That’s probably the worst pokemon design I have ever seen, bar none. Unless a format defining seismitoad is forthcoming, I would avoid this like the plague

      Now there is a format defining Seismitoad, but you don’t need Tympole for it :D
