    Which card is better (and why is it better)?

    Bearatic
    130HP
    Stage 1 evolution
    (w)(*)(*) energies for "sheer cold" 50hp and the defending pokemon cant attack during your opponent's turn
    (w)(w)(*)(*) energies for "Icicle Crash" 80hp and the attack isnt affected by Resistance
    Weakness of x2 steal
    No resistance
    (*)x3 retreat

    OR

    Gyarados
    130HP
    Stage 1 evolution
    (w)(*)(*) energies for "Hydro Splash" 50hp
    (w)(w)(*)(*) energies for Hyper Beam and the defending pokemon has to discard one energy card attached to it
    Weakness of x2 lightning
    Resistance of -2 fighting
    (*)x3 retreat

    Two very similar cards. Same HP, same number of energies required, both have a weakness of x2 (although against different types - i would rather steal than lightning), same retreat cost, both are stage one evolution cards (which i really like).Bearatic dosent have a resistance like Gyarados dose, but the conditions on its attacks (especially Sheer cold) are what make it better imo.

    ps. Would have posted URL's but they wont let me yet!
     
    Just Go and catch 15 post in this forum @TinMahn!
    And for this thread,

    I would choose Beartic better...
    Because it more strong than Gyarados
     
    Personally, I'd prefer Beartic. But if steel were the dominant type in my local metagame, I'd probably use Gyarados... or run a Fire deck.

    Anyway, this is something that belongs in the main forum, so I'll just move this there.
