Hey all,

Today's card is Octillery from EX Unseen Forces

Kinda like a beefed up Scyther if you ask me. Not a terrible amount of HP for a stage 1 evolved Poke. His body is much like Murkrow's evil lock which is beautiful to use on baby's and those benched sitting powers. 120 is amazing for two energy and 1 discard, but can only use it once every two turns which keeps it under check. Overall, not to bad of a card. Not game breaking. May need some support though to keep it working.

Unlimited Rating 2.5/5

Octillery COTD

What's up? Today I'm gonna take a look Octillery from Unseen Forces.

PokeBody: Super Suction Cups: As long as Octillery is your active Pokemon, your opponent's Pokemon can't retreat.

C: Standing By: Discard an energy card attached to Octillery. During your next turn, Octillery's Pulse Blast attack's base damage is 120.

WC: Pulse Blast: 30

Hp: 80

Weakness: Lightning

Resistance:

RC: C

Stage: 1 (Evolves from Remoraid)

Well okay then. Octillery is one of the weaker Stage 1 Pokemon. With only 80 hp and no resistance at all your in trouble no matter what you face but if you go up against a Lightning deck this guy needs to stay off your field entirely. You have to have two energy on Octillery and at least one energy in your hand when you use Standing By on your turn so that on your next turn you can use the powered Pulse Blast. Octillery's power can help in this combo, but with all of the cards that force a switch of Pokemon without actually retreating that Pokemon, odds are if you manage to get the combo once you need to savor that one 120 damage shot cause that's all you'll get.

Unlimited: 1/5 No way. I wouldn't even give this thing a second glance

Limited: 1.5/5 Well at least here it'd get a second glance before I said no.

Draft:1/5 If you're drafting this you should probably just get up and leave.
