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).

“I swear they get a new design team every few years.”
Actually, yes.
HEZ
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..
