Broken

[Professor Elm]

lol
Is Pachirisu broken?
No, of course not.
It's good, but nowhere near broken.

I think that Sparce and Pachirisu are good but in differnt spots like sparce was(is?) after it filled your bench a good staller becuase of sudden flash. But pachirisu is good at getting rid of tools(cesstion, leftovers, etc....)

 

[pokemaniac93]

are any cards in the set broken?

 

[TODDakaESTEBAN]

wait wouldn't unkown g prevent you from discarding it?

as that's an effect of an attack done to whatever pokemon by pachirisu...

 

[charmander rox]

Yeah, Unown G might save itself.
*Proceeds to ask the Masters*

 

[TODDakaESTEBAN]

and the attack only does 10

 

[Rashad]

u r totally correct and know pachu is not broken it is easily turn2 knocked out seriously

Pachirisu is far from broken. No one is going to play a tool on the first turn if they see that guy out. If by some weird reason you have a deck that relies a lot on tools, tech in a 1-1 DF Quagsire line. You'll be able to get some of those tools back. While Pachirisu makes a great starter, he's not broken at all. Like Absol, for instance....we all know how broken that card is NOT.

You'd definately have had to have lived through Dunsparce in order to understand why it was worse than Pachirisu. For starters, like it was said earlier, Dunsparce could switch with a benched Pokemon once it used Strike and Run, which gives just a huge advantage compared to Pachirisu, who has to wait out a turn before retreating. Pachirisu I'll admit does have a stronger attack via Smash Shot, but it does leave you open for an easy OHKO; considering the only Tools next format (unless some are coming out in future sets or being reprinted) are Amulet Coin and Leftovers (neither of which are groundbreaking or easily accessable next format since Castaway is leaving as well), Smash Shot's usefulness is limited to the rest of this format basically (which even then is limited usually to Cessation Crystal, which only a handful of decks play anymore anyways).

And of course, there's one more reason why Dunsparce is superior: he's a Common, unlike the Holo Rare Pachirisu, which limits access to Pachirisu considerably when compared to the easily obtainable Dunsparce back then.

Whoever thinks Pachirishu is broken should not be playing this game. Honestly, Pachirishu broken? Far from it. Pachirishu good? Certainly. But nowhere near broken. If he was, then Tauros CG would be broken too.

pahirisu>dunsparce IMO

Dude, were you even playing when Sparce was in the format? Dunsparce was far better than Pachi. And you phail because you traded a vire X and a Empoleon X for 2 pachi

 

[Tagrineth]

I miss Dunsparce.

I'm SO gonna use my RH Sparce set to proxy for Pachirisus until I get them.

 

[ZAKtheGeek]

People say, "oh, well, nobody will lay down a tool early on, then." But that means Pachi prevents your opponents from using tools early game. I'm not saying that's broken, but don't downplay its significance.

 

[Scipio]

Nobody ever did. But it sure as heck ain't broken. You just gotta be careful in your plays.

And who censored that fiery place below the earth anyway?
