Seems good, but is it?
Lets take a look. Ok, so at first glance its a "weak" EX pokemon, having a pretty basic 90 hp for an EX. It also gives your opponent 2 prizes instead of one. Bad. But, look at its first attack, Steady Punch, 10 damage + 10 if you get heads on the flip. OK attack, not the best, but it could be worse. Now lets take a look at his second attack, Sky Uppercut. It costs (Ft)(Ft)(c), which is a normal attack, dealing 50. BUT, when you read the effect, resistance doesnt apply. Hmmmmmm...Good. But it doesnt say that weakness doent apply, does it? Even better. So to sum it up I would say it isnt the best EX card, but not the worst either. Can OHKO most lvl 1 or 2 Colorless pokemon, bar a few (Chansey). Stick it in a dragon deck to deal with that annoying Zangoose or just to kill those small absics. Whatever yu decide, go for it!
Unlimited: No good, shoebox material, much better cards out there. (Read anything else but this)
1/5
Modified: A little better, dealing with those pesky basics, but having weakness to Psychic is not a good thing with all those Mewtwo EX's and Gardy/EX running around.
2.5/5
Nintendo Only: Better yet, a basic that can hit first turn, and knock out most colorless pokemon by turn three.
3/5
Limited: If you see it, draft it, but if you see a Mewtwo, draft that instead. Good pokemon, deals with most colorless, can hit on turn one. Good Pick.
4/5
