Well, this card has been ignored for a long time. One of my friend's at league made a deck based around Crobat with Bronzong. Although, I wouldn't say it was the perfect decklist or anything extremely amazing, I felt that it had potential.

SO, what do yall think? Crobat, auto toxic and then hits anything for 50, if it gets sent back to the deck send up Zong and 10 to all powers between turns.

I honestly think Crobat is good. 2 for 50 to anything as well as being able to toxic virtually every new active Pokemon is pretty good. Do y'all think this card still has potential.
 
First time I saw it, I was annoyed at the prospect of shuffling a Stage 2 line back into the deck by my own doing, and I discarded the card from my mind. Now that I have seen how Gliscor works however, I think Crobat could work similarly. You would probably need to run 4-4-4 so that you could always have a fresh Golbat ready to come up next turn. Bronzong is a good idea. I would run Weezing with it though. There is the fact that your opponent would have a really hard time scoring knock outs when everything that hits him/her gets shuffled back into the deck constantly. The thing you need for it though is constant Pokemon search.
 
welll...

..I like the card, and I think the reason
no one uses it is not because its
not good(cuz it is good) but, there are
better things.:smile:
 
Wait until time space tear comes out. The prospect of not needing to rely on candy to get a crobat out in one turn makes the card so much better.
 
I liked this card when I originally saw it as well but found it was difficult to actually use. The Bronzong idea sounds nice though especially since if you use your snipe attack against Claydol, it will be KOed after your next turn.

Budew from Stormfront is another card that compliments Crobat in a different way than Bronzong. After you poison them and snipe and get tails, you'd just bring it up and it would enjoy immunity from that poisoned Pokemon, providing you the perfect buffer. It would work much the same with Gliscor and its lv. X.

Unfortunately there are a lot of ways around this, from retreating to Warping to sniping something on your bench, but in that deck you mentioned I think a Budew or two in a tech spot could still be good especially against something like Torterra or Blissey where retreating is a lot more of a hassle. It's just too bad that Kingdra, Gengar, and Magnezone all would have the easiest time getting around it with their cheap or non-existent retreat and swarm abilities.
 
A friend of mine tried Crobat/Weezing/Dialga Lv.X. Skip their turn, and they take about 60-100 damage!
