I so love the pic, and so love the Energy costs!
90 HP... hum... could be better... but it's better than Jumpluff...
The good part of this card: Attach 3 energies, and possible 120 damage on the way, enough to kill the highest around in those days...

Firstly, 90 HP is too low for a Stage 2...
Secondly, WTFness - W type uses F energy?
It's not that bad overall, but the 3 coin limitation can be a pain, especially if you're no good with coin flipping and/or when you're up against a 140+ HP Stage 2 ex (let's save Whailord ex for now). Still, I'd say the Kabutops ex is better to use - but this is OK at that time considering the ex's weren't out then.
7/10 - if you're good with coin flipping.
Don't use it at all if you have completely no control over your coin flipping - it IS a skill after all!
(My highest record was 84 heads out of 100 flips with a tested FAIR coin.)

it's not too bad 1 energy for a possible 40 damage.
90 hp isn't the best but its a good card.

Let me just say, it's significantly better than its Fossil counterpart.
The most you'll ever need for this card is three Energy, and even one attached to it promises something. Unfortunately, it's best if you can pull a Fossil Egg or Omanyte's Revive Friends power. Still, great card for its time.
Retro rating 9/10, updated 7/10.

*sigh* PLEASE know your sets...Neo sets were filled with cards like this (sort of a prequel to Holon).
As for the actual card, it's basically an upgraded version of that Dark Charizard. The first attack does 20 damage now, the second one only needs one energy to start, and you no longer have the potential to waste ALL your energies on one attack. The only problem is the Fossil factor, but you can get around that (Lileep SS).
