Rate & Review. Thanks to Water Pokemon Master from www.pokebeach.com for the scan. |
Not a bad card, although, it needs the West Sea one to be more properly effective. Decent damage swap with the power, but I need to see the West Sea one before I can make a true assessment. I will say that the attack isn't bad for three energies, and same goes with the power/HP. The only real drawback is its retreat cost, so pack some Switches.
I also am glad to see resistance, since I used to wonder anymore. 7/10. |
I think one word sums this up:
WOAH. Gastrodon East Sea's Osmotic Pressure + West Sea's Raging Flood = Raging Flood is unbelievably strong. Plus, Wild Waves helps to put a couple of damage counters onto East Sea. It also helps East Sea's Dwindling Wave massively. Weakness is average, Resistance is alright, Retreat Cost isn't good. If you run this, best to run Switch (yes, really) or Super Scoop Up (not recommended). Ideally, you need to run both of them, otherwise there's no point. East Sea is better for KOing Infernape and other annoyances such as Magmortar and Typhlosion, and West Sea also attacks tricky Lightning-types. East Sea and West Sea both get 8/10 on this one, methinks. (Yes, I used the same review on two cards, so sue me. :P) |
