Anytime I need a source of energy acceloration in one of my rouge decks, I always end up with milotic. It is a really good card for that.

I saw someone use this card with a lucario, which does damage based on total taken prize cards. It was an awesome strategy.

Is the cost of giving up a prize worth it in most rogue decks?

That's actually a pretty good way to use it. Though doesn't that Lucario not have much HP at all?

It has 100, which is the average for most lucarios

Still low overall HP for a primary attacker, though.

God forbid I have to be ahead in prizes the entire game. In decks like rainbowtails and speedkrom, it is a great source of energy.

I'm not someone who actively uses rogue decks, and when I was regularly playing in premier events, falling behind in prizes was extremely crippling for the most part.

Im just going to have to set things straight for Milotic. This card is amazing in certain decks. Atm I'm using it in a Shiftry deck. Giving up 1 Prize to allow me to attach 3 energy and then attack is pretty huge. It is especially good when it allows you to then knock out an Ex pokemon giving you 2 prizes. 1-1 Line is a pretty decent tech card that doesnt take up too much space, but can make a big difference in a match.

Lucario with Dual Armor may be one of the decks that will just love having this pokemon. Not only does it fully charge a Lucario at once, it also gives away a prize to further increase the damage of Lucario.
