    Sad that this is the best non-Rocket’s/ex Zapdos.

      I like the next destinies one better, actually.

        I think this is just about the right power level for a Basic legendary. Decent hp, cool power and an attack that’s fairly powerful but with a drawback. They got Basic legends right here, then made them horribly weak in CoL then ruined the game with them come B&W :S I swear they get a new design team every few years.
        (It’s also best pals with (old) Old Amber).

          Actually, yes.

            Is that you think so too or you KNOW so? I’d like to know because there seems to be a huge difference in sets themes and / or quality each year or so, I find it hard to believe the same people are behind them all.

            At each new generation since Ruby Sapphire, there is a new design team for the video game.

            I do not know if that’s the case for the TCG.

          HEZ, message from the future: XY continues the BW trend, but even worse, since a lot of Pokémon don’t get cards post-DP!

    How do you guys think Forretress (Wild Blaze) will stack up to this card in unlimited? It’s a stage 1, but it dispenses with the coin toss..
