This is not a format for Stage 2 Pokémon; 150 HP doesn't last nearly long enough now. The first attack doesn't hit hard enough to matter in the current format, and as everyone is concerned with ditching Poison from Hypnotoxic Laser, even if you score Paralysis it probably won't stick. Continuous Headbutt needed to do some guaranteed damage; four for Energy I like to hit for at least 100, and this attack has a 50% chance of hitting for nothing, a 25% chance of hitting for 90. The remaining quarter of possible results are promising (180+) but even in this format, more than three heads would be overkill.

Have some fun with Fliptini at League, but not something to count on for tournaments other than Limited if you pull a decent line for it.

Unlimited: 1/10
Modified: 5/10
Limited: 7/10
 
^basically this.

This is a fun card but not one that could see any serious play. 150 HP isnt too bad since it gets around Darkrai w/Dark Claw + Laser (it can at least survive 1 hit before dying) along with various other Donking plays. Has good weakness, Heavy ball and DCE compatibility too.

Overall not much to say. Its a flip heavy card and you have to play Victini to make it be potentially effective. Another card that would have been good in the HGSS era but just too slow in the big basics era.

5/10
 
This card has the ability to do infinity damage X 9 lol, the highest damage possable in modified. If it wasn't in modified steelix would take the cake.
 
6.5/10 This card won't ever see play unless it's online. I play it online, in expert, with Blastoise, Keldeo and Victini and I must say that this is a very fun and effective card.
 
Ah, if only Fliptini was stackable (but then again, that would be pretty crazy). Articuno EX can paralyze more constantly, and 3+ energies for a stage 2 that relies on flips is simply not worth it. Defiantly a fun card for league, and draft play especially.

4/10
 
3/10

Just use Dragons Exalted Gothitelle. She uses less energy and guarantees a knockout on two flips (regardless of eviolite or other effects).
