Oooh a Rare Venusaur card - averaging around 4 per box or a guaranteed holo in certain CG theme decks, making this fella easy to nab ;)
Very decent HP, could be that 10 HP better however. Good, but not the best type (not many good G types are common these days - strong against Armaldo/Nidoqueen, however Steelix has the resistance). Not a very good weakness (macargo, Ludicolo d, Typhlosion, Flareon ex etc) but it'll live for quite a while. The worst resistance ie. none and a pants retreat cost.
Its attacks and body make up for this beauty of a card though ;)
Green Blast: an awesome move! Similar to Gardevoir exs/Sunflora UF/Gorebyss HL devastating attacks except its only G on your side of the bench. Load up energy and blam! for a nice amount of damage.
Toxic Sleep: another decent back up attack. Not only a full 2 damage counters per turn and auto Sleep (oh damn-theres Steelix ex..) But this is very easy to pull off if this card is played right.
COMBOS:! This is the main beauty of the card IMO!. By abusing Chlorophyll, this card is a beast causing massive damage with Green Blast! Lets see what energy cards should be played! how about..
- Boost energy (3 G per turn!? Yes please!)
- Holon GL (Counts as a grass & has added benefits!)
- Double Rainbow Energy (2 of any energy types? stick it on a benched and add on the +20)
- Grass Energy.. Well Duh..
- Venusaur POP2
Brill card. However extreme competiveness in the modified format might make this is a bit difficult for this card to show its face.
8/10
