Hey Pojosamaniacs! I'm gonna talk to all of you about Neo: Discovery
Beedrill. You probably remember me talking all about it in my review of Neo
2 Grass Pokemon, but I think it needs special attention. Look at
it!(Translation courtesy of Edo)

Beedrill
Type: Stage 2 Grass Pokemon (Evolves from Kakuna)
LV.36, HP 80
G: Cutting Poison: 10
  Effect: Flip a coin.  If heads, the Defending Pokemon is now Poisoned.  It
now takes 30 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if
it was already Poisoned).
GGC: Pin Missile: 20x
  Effect: Flip 4 coins.  This attack does 20 damage times the number of
heads.
0 Retreat
R Weakness
F Resistance (Damage -30)
No. 015 (Rare Hologram)

30 Poison damage. Did you just say 30 Poison damage?! Yes I did. No way!!!
Way. Seriously?! Seriously! Oh my gosh, that is one broken-@$$ card right
there!!! That's beyond broken. It's too shattered to pieces to be called
broken. Get me Webster on the phone, we need a word that means "left the
word 'broken' so far behind I can't even see it"! For those who are saying
"Whop-dee-doo, 30 Poison damage. That sucks!", let me explain what 30 Poison
damage will do.

It takes out anything with 70HP or less out in 1 full turn (each player
takes a turn). Assuming you get heads, which shouldn't be too hard, here's
the equation:

10 base damage + 30 Poison damage after your turn + 30 more Poison damage
after your opponent's turn= 70 total damage in 1 full turn for 1 stinkin'
Grass Energy. Wiggly's either dead this turn (Got PlusPower?) or next, too.
Talk about efficiency.

It's a Stage 2, but so is Blastoise. Breeder gets him out by Turn 2. Don't
worry. He has free Retreat Cost, too. And Resistance to Fighting. And 80 HP.
And a secondary attack to help put on the hurt. USE THIS CARD!!! IT'S BROKEN
AS HECK!!! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM A SINGLE CARD???!!!

Coming with the release of Neo: Discovery this May, Grass is back with a
vengence, baby. And it's mad. Very, very mad.
