    Was this any good competitively with Pokémon Center?

      That was the VenuCenter archetype, which did ok competitively.  When the Gym sets came out, you could run Blastoise (base) with Pokemon center and Energy Flow to accomplish the same sort of thing.

        It wasn’t ok competitively, auto-loss vs Energy Removal = garbage :/

        It was ok if you played for fun, nothing more.

    Crazy how this big boy has the lowest retreat cost out of the three fully evolved Kanto starters. Must have Chlorophyll.

      I assume you’re searching “bulbsaur” when the correct spelling is “bulbasaur”
