colorless, this is a little steep though Paralysis does tend to be a little more useful than Sleep or Confusion. If automatic Paralysis wasn't disproportionately effective, then I'd expect an automatic infliction for that price. The second attack is overpriced at grass::colorless as you are paying for at least 25 points of damage, even on a Basic Pokémon that Evolves twice, but only getting 20. Ultimately, they should have tacked the Paralysis onto the last attack and either given it no single Energy attack, or (preferably) some simple, hopefully useful different single Energy attack. Energy acceleration would have been good.grass for 10 and the same grass::colorless for 20. Why is this so much worse? Snivy isn't a beatstick. It isn't even a true opener. It is a stepping stone for its Evolutions, and thus helping it survive is paramount. Inflicting Paralysis even half the time, with the ease of removing Special Conditions, is going to be more useful than a mere 10 damage in the long run. Plus if we end up with any Colorless Special Energies worth using (cards like Cyclone Energy) today's Snivy will be able to use them and attack right away, but Black & White 01/114 couldn't. Black & White 02/114 has a single attack for grass::colorless that only averages 20, and actually delivers a 10/40 split. There is a slight advantage to being able to "rush" damage, but you're still getting less back than you paid for and can't attack with a single Energy at all. This makes it another version to pass on. BW01, another promo, isn't any better, giving you a 0/20/40 damage split for that same grass::colorless Energy cost. Roughly, you'll hit for no damage a quarter of the time, 20 half the time, and 40 that remaining quarter of the time. That gives it better average damage than Black & White 02/114, but worse minimum damage and a lower chance of hitting its maximum damage. This makes BW06 the best of the sub par.
