The Analyst - This issue by Hackman

Issue #43 - Everyone's favorite common spine-covered aquatic armored...fish thing... Well, it's Quilfish. And that little bugger's plenty powerful even in decks on a limited budget. Let's see what we're up against... Type Key Fighting Fire Grass Lightning Psychic Water Colorless Darkness Metal Expansion Key BS Base Set JNG Jungle FSL Fossil TR Team Rocket GMH Gym Heroes GMC Gym Challenge NGN Neo Genesis NDS Neo Discovery NRV Neo Revalation NDY Neo Destiny SI Southern Islands --- SINGLE CARD Analyst--- Cheap fun for all ages... Quilfish - Basic - 60 HP - Lv 30 - Neo Revelation - Poison Sting - 10 Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. - Needle Storm - 20x Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads you get. Weak: , Resist: - , Retreat: > Strategy: It's a 60 HP pokémon that can poison first turn. Now if that's not a welcome addition to a deck (especially with the poison-turns-off-powers rule), I don't know what is. You can take your chances with Needle Storm if you want to... at least it's better than Fossil Geodude. =P So you would have this first turn, slap on a and watch the fun as your opponent deals with possible poison. It's HP isn't a problem really, nothing's resistant to water and besides the occasional guy it can hold its own. As soon as I think of something else useful to analyze (before Destiny), I'll get it up. Till next time, -- Hackman (hackman@sugarshock.net)
