							Good morning, today’s COTD is one that has a unique 
							ability that is also found in the video games (Under 
							a different name but…) This is a stage 1 poke’ that 
							should stay on your bench and use it’s ability 
							unless your opponent has a Blissey with massive 
							amounts of energy on it. An amazing power makes you 
							want to keep Xatu on the banch, and low HP make you 
							have to keep him on the bench. I have seen a few 
							decks with this guy, but he doesn’t seem so good. 
							Add him + the second attack from Golduck from SW and 
							you basically do 60 + auto confuse (If they don’t 
							kill Golduck (Which is nice.)) 
							
							  
							
							Pros – 
							
							Keep unwanted special conditions off you pokemon 
							
							Good anti-Blissey attack 
							
							Good resistance on it’s basic (Anti-Riolu donk) 
							
							  
							
							Cons – 
							
							Attack sucks unless used vs. Blissey 
							
							You need a special condition to shift it 
							
							  
							
							Unlimited – Special conditions here? Never. 1/5 
							
							  
							
							Modified – Could work in the right deck. 3.25/5 
							
							  
							
							Limited – Not a lot of energies or special 
							conditions are played here. 2.5/5 
							
							  
							
							I have found a decent deck list with this guy 
							before; I just can’t find it again,
