=.="

Another card with no attack... and 3 retreat cost doesnt help either!

"GG!" Says Gardevoir ex with Imprison. =3

Well, its not THAT bad, but it's just a card made for a LOL, shouldnt be used in any formal competitive play, thats all.

LOL/10

Lol this card is a joke. No attacks, high retreat cost. Use it's pokepower to let him sleep and remove 2 damage counters, then if he doesn't awake put 2 damage counters on the opponent. But really, you need to activate his poke-power first to us it's body, but it can't be used when he has a special condition. Almost every pokemon these days can poison others with 1 energy, meaning even a Caterpie could take this Snorlax down >.<

Totally useless, 2.5/10

Yeah, LOL, didnt realize that - was thinking about the Gardevoir ex...

Anyway it's just made for LOL, not for competitive play. thats why i gave it a LOL/10 - it cant be rated.

EDIT: you know whats more LOL about this card? - it requires 3 energy to retreat, but it wont need any energy because it has no bloody attacks! so it means when it's in, it stays in until it gets KOed, unless you want to waste 3 energies on him just to retreat...

OMG Snorlax is t3h M4N!!11!! A part of me wants to get 4 of these cards and play them in a deck for the added hilarity value.

In a more serious terms - I actually think that his 2 Power/Body can be quite good ;) - Allow moi to explain:

1) The active 'lax has some damage on it
2) During your turn you attach energy to your benched and so on etc etc. Then you use Dozing at the end of your turn. -20 and auto nap.
3) Hopefully you flip and get a tails - which then triggers Bedhead. +20
4) Opponents turn
5) Opponent finishes turn. Given that Snorlax is still asleep or awake - it's quite a win win situation. Either -20 and then back to sleep with dozing or +20 with Bedhead.

So if you think it over - thats on average a 40 (60 (if stays asleep at end of turn)+20(if wakes up)/2) overall damage benefit for something that requires NO energy! Nice methinks :P
This and the high hp, makes Snorlax quite a formidable stalling wall. Best of all though, OMG its a Snorlax. pwnt.

Unfortunately for this slob, it is quite unpredictable. Despite the non existant energy cost to attack, its not the most powerful creature and is very coin flippy dependant. Many other cards particularly, cessation crystal and something that applies a status condition could really wreck this fellows day. Its high retreat cost is kinda laughable- but to be honest there is little reason to retreat this anyway since it wont go down easily.


PWND!/10
...
I mean 4/10

Well, I agree with jwilso72, but I also think this card could be better... I mean, nice body-power interaction, but 10 damage and dependant on flip??

3/10
