OK. I'm here to talk about...

...The Nidoran family!



Nidoran (M)

40 HP

G Horn Hazard. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.



Ooops. Efficient, yes-but I'd rather use Moltres' Dive Bomb move to

get big damage cheap. Really, you should not bench Nidoran unless:

1.) You'll lose by lack of basics.

2.) You have either a Nidorino or Pokemon Breeder in your hand.

Nidorino is good, yes. No points go to Nidoran M except evolution.

Just like the Base Ghosts. They stink until you evolve them to Gengar.

(Note: Base Haunter + Fossil Haunter or the Team Rocket Sleep, Sleep!,

trainer can be useful.)



Nidorino

60 HP.

-Its ok for Stage 1, but not perfectly strong.

GCC Double Kick. (30X) Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage times

the number of heads.

-Hmm. I don't know...1 point

GGCC Horn Drill (50)

-Does guarenteed damage. Its OK, but a bit expensive. IMO, Pinsir is better. 1 point.

Nidoking

90 HP

-Again, OK for its Evolution stage, but...

GCC Thrash (30+) Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage

plus 10 more damage. If tails, this attack does 30 damage plus

Nidoking does 10 damage to itself.

-Hmm. What I can't get through my head is why Electabuzz does that too

for 1 less colorless energy? But, there are no [American] resistances

to Grass-yet.

2 Points.

GGG Toxic (20) The Defending Pokemon is now Poisoned. It now takes 20

Poison damage instead of 10 each turn (even if it was already

Poisoned.

-What does 'even if it was already Poisoned' mean? Still, for the same

Energy cost as Ivysaur's Poisonpowder you deal the same base damage and

twice as much Poison damage!

3 Points.

1.5 Final Rating (Note: after all the averaging, etc., that's HIGH.
