Wigglytuff
#89 (XY)
I’ve got two words for you today:
Hocus Pinkus.
One of the most awesomely silly attack names in TCG
history. Who
wouldn’t want to take down a big scary EX with an
attack called ‘Hocus
Pinkus’?
Sadly, that is very unlikely to happen.
Wigglytuff is a Fairy Type
Stage 1 whose attacks don’t offer anything that you
cannot get better elsewhere. Gather Energy will
accelerate a Basic Energy from the deck, but Fairy decks
already have access to Xerneas
which grab two Energy and has
the advantages of being a high HP Basic.
Hocus
Pinkus itself is very
underwhelming: three Energy for just 60 damage and the
Defending Pokémon can’t attack next turn. Sure, the lock
can be somewhat annoying, but rarely is it more than an
inconvenience if the opponent plays switching cards, has
free Retreat, or uses Keldeo
EX. Wiggly himself has neither the HP nor the firepower
to make an effect like that really work in a deck.
At the end of the day, this
Wigglytuff is just slightly superior set filler
with an awesome attack name.

Modified: 1.75 (you have better things to put in your
Fairy deck)
Limited: 2.5 (not horrible)
