[Pokemon] Tropius (Plasma Blast)

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

 

Now, I don't actually play the Pokemon TCG, but I have been following it on a few different people's channels, and this guy looks pretty cool. 100HP, a 1 energy attack that deals 10 damage and lets you draw up to 6, or a 2 energy attack that can potentially OHKO something like Keldeo EX if it's powered up. Plus it has 1 retreat and isn't an EX.

 

Not that you would be deciding between the two, but compared to Tornadus EX from Plasma Freeze, the first attack could be considered better, if you have good cards for later in your hand. Plus it deals some damage, even if it's only 10. Major downside of course is if you have something like a hand of 5+ crappy cards it's worthless in comparison.

"It flies by flapping its broad leaves and gives the sweet, delicious fruit around its neck to children". Seems legit.

But seriously, I've never played the actual TCG, because I always thought it looked terrible, I still have a few cards lying around though :P.

 

Although that does look pretty awesome, how comes it's weak to electric?

Tropius is Grass/Flying, with the later having a weakness to it. Same rules apply to PTCG, since Colorless Flying Pokemon have that weakness as well.
This isn't the first time a card Type in PTCG has a different weakness from what you would expect, you know...

Oh I've seen loads that have strange weakness XD But yeah, I kinda forgot about Tropius being Grass/Flying :P

The Pokemon TCG is pretty much a game of drawing and shuffling, but some of the cards are very interesting.

 

100 HP means it survives a Night Spear, but dies to Megalo Cannon.

 I've never liked attacks like Return when things like Juniper exist.

I'd love it's second attack against KeldeoStoise, but I don't wanna run the grass stuff :/

The deck I saw someone use this in was Virizion/Genesect, which really doesn't NEED any help, but it was interesting to see. It never got used in the match I watched because the guy got steamrolled.
