Great card, but my metagame kills it:
Pros:
Excellent Pokepower
You can draw UP TO 3 cards (helps when deck is very low, or you just want to discard an energy)
Can attack for one energy (I've done it a couple of times, it hurts, but sometimes it is you only choice when you just need 10 more damage to end the game etc.)
Cons:
Stage 1
Retreat Cost
BASIC FORM IS DONKABLE BY RIOLU!!! BASIC FORM AND DELCATTY ARE x2 WEAK TO FIGHTING!
Low HP
No Resistance
Cessation Crystal shuts it down
You must have energy cards available for discard
Power can't be used if it is affected by a Special Condition
It is a great card, I agree. But what kills this is the popularity of Mario style decks. Running Skitty, the basic form of Delcatty, you are at high risk of getting donked T1 or T2. Skitty is an awful pokemon to start with because of this, the fact that it's attacks aren't very good, and that it can't retreat for free. With Mario in metagame, the score is 8.6/10 But with such a great weakness, I must lower it considerably to....
6.387/10 Modified -Risky to play
