Name: Vibrava LV 37
Set: Secret Wonders
Rarity: Uncommon
Overview: Vibrava is a
Stage 1 Pokemon which evolves from Trapinch and into
Flygon. This guy is fighting-type and has 80 HP, +20
Weakness to water, -20 Resistance to lightning, and a
Retreat Cost of 1. Its first attack, 'Sand Wind,' costs
(F) and does 10 damage to each of your opponent's
Pokemon (weakness and resistance only applied to the
Defending pokemon). Its second attack, 'Hyper Beam,'
costs (FCC), does 40 damage and has you flip a coin to
allow you to discard an energy card attached to the
Defending Pokemon on a heads flip.
Analysis: Again, 80 HP is
pretty good for a stage 1 which can still evolve. The
weakness to water isn't bad, and any resistance is good
so this one is no exception. I really like this card for
its first attack. It combos INCREDIBLY well with Flygon
EX. Hyper Beam is OK, but Sand Wind is what makes this
one probably the best Vibrava for use with Flygon EX. I
think this should get decent play for anyone still using
Flygon EX (me).
Unlimited: Not the heavy
hitter you will need here. (1/5)
Modified: I like this. Any
Flygon Ex deck should use this, in my opinion. It
provides a nice combo with Flygon Ex and a smooth
transition into it. Granted, it isn't a delta Pokemon,
but I think it is useful enough that it should be used.
(3.5/5)
Limited: Definitely good
here, especially since retreating heavily-damaged
Pokemon is a must in Limited. Use it to sweep your
opponent's bench late game. Hyper Beam is also very
good, as it can discard energy and therefore cripple
your opponent. (4.5/5)
