    [PokeCommunity.com] COTD - 3/21 - Palkia (Diamond & Pearl)


    Rate & Review.

    Thanks to Water Pokemon Master from www.pokebeach.com for the scan.
     
    Eh... stadium search/destroy is the only thing it got, and most likely another Pokemon got the stadium destruction covered too... the 2nd attack is luck dependent, and it's basically impossible to use it again before it faints... =/ No resistance is sucky.

    The coin flip on a 3 energy attack that needs to discard everything is just too unappealing... Honestly, I hate uncertainties when my win or loss depends on the coin =(

    6/10
     
    Well, it's an instant GG on a head flip (2nd attack) if your opponent only has 1 Pokemon in play, so it's not so bad after all...

    7.5/10
     
    I'm not quite sure what I'd rate it, but is it even a real card?

    Something seems strange about the card. The code and set no. are bolder than the Copyright text... And the 'dex in italics!?
    Also it's classified as a Spatial Pkmn, yet it's attack is Spacial Rend. I checked on Word and Spacial is not a real word.

    Neither is Transback. ;) It's definitely real. Nintendo likes making up words, that's all.

    It's a very weak card, it has to be said. The effect for the second attack is poor and it doesn't even do that much damage.

    I'm sorry, but just...no. 5/10.
     
    spa·tial also spa·cial Pronunciation (spshl)
    adj.
    Of, relating to, involving, or having the nature of space.

    Example:

    Indeed, it seems that in defining contraries of every kind men have recourse to a spatial metaphor, for they say that those things are contraries which, within the same class, are separated by the greatest possible distance.
    The Categories, by Aristotle


    Word's dictionary is very incomplete. Don't rely on it.

    Transback is definitely not a word, though XD;


    Plenty of cards can knock out one lone Pokemon at 3 energy card cost, and that's without flipping a coin... so why not just go with the raw power on some other cards to win, instead of flip a coin?
