80 HP is good...Dual Armor can be useful...the attacks aren't anything special though it's good that the second one isn't affected by Resistance. Retreat Cost is good.

6/10.

This card brings up the question of which goes first, Weakness or Resistance? 'Cause I KNOW I've seen a Pokemon with those two types there.

Of course, I suppose that's where Sky Uppercut comes in play. Only 1 set energy & 2 randoms for 50 "piercing" damage is not too shabby for a Stage 1. And ANY 2 energy for 20 damage & coin paralysis is pretty good, too. Low retreat cost, but needs a different weakness (hello confusion) and a resistance.

8/10

Weakness is always applied first, then resistance.

This card is OK, possible safeguard counter for a Medicham ex deck, but hardly good enough as a card to be run alone. Or as a way to counter its own P weakness (mind you its weak to that as well, so itll probably be KOd the turn after). Its Ex emerald counterpart is hugely more impressive.

6/10

The should have just leave the Psychic Poke Power alone. =/

It's atacks are decent. But not competive enough. I'm with the new guy.
