A nice self running card, even though its type makes no discernable sense. Fighting? Kinda of a stretch, isn't it? Oh, well.

Yeah, that's my question. What's up with all these weird types lately? Good card though, 3 energy -> 50 damage. Not bad.

You've obviously not bought many cards for a year or so. All I can be bothered to say is, "Delta Species". A new species of Pokémon with modified genes, therefore different types (nine times out of ten).

The card itself is quite good. Nice amount of HP. Spike Storm and Triple Needle could work well. Light Punch is a good attack, though 60 damage wouldn't have hurt.

I'd give it...7/10. I haven't used it in play, but I do own the card so I might be able to. If and when I do play it, I can give a more detailed review.

I think this is a very good card! It's specially good on the beggining of the game, cause it won't have as much counters and, therefore, a better setup is enabled.

I think the attack and the power conncet very well. But I would prefer if the Power damaged all previously damaged Pokémon (including your own), it would make it awesome!

Ah Cacturne. Could be useful in the early stage of the game. In the first 2 turns you attach energy and use Triple Needle to damage at least all your opponents pokemon, then use his poke-power to weaken them with 10 more every turn while you slowly Light punch them away. Downside is that when he got a special condition his power can't be used, while his power is the main reason I use it. Light punch is a balanced attack, just use it in a early or quick game but not in long or such games since with 80 HP it can't hold long before a 40 fire attack shows up.

7/10
