Ryanace:Hello, again. Today, I would like to review
Koga's Grimer and Koga's Muk. Koga's Grimer is used for evolving, and Muk for
his abilities. This card, along with Dark Muk, can work great in the
"No-Retreat" deck. First, I'll give the translations and then I'll
explain why.
Koga's Grimer 50hp
Weakness-Psychic Retreat-1
PC-Throw Sludge-20
Not bad. Since there's really not much to say about him, let's go on to our
next card.
Koga's Muk 80hp Weakness-Psychic
Retreat-3
[Pokemon Power] Drip Power Liquid
When this card takes damage, even if it is KO'd, flip a coin. If
heads, choose one energy card on your opponent's active pokemon and discard
it. If Koga's Muk is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed, this power will not work.
PPC-Swirl of Sludge-40
Highest hp of all Muks is very nice, but also has the highest retreat cost.
His attack is good, and his pokemon power is an Energy Removal with a lucky
coin flip and an attacking pokemon. Now, here's the strategy:
Have out Koga's Muk. After a few turns, you should've flipped at least one
heads. Then, switch with Dark Muk (his retreat cost is too high to really
retreat), and use his power and attack. You're opponent has now lost energy,
which usually means going back a couple of turns, and then when they want to
retreat, they have to add even more energy!
