Vaporeon also gets killed by Luxray, so it's not like it's any better. (I would know, I ran the deck.)

yeah but its energy cost is less and can be a bit quicker. it makes for a decent water sniping tech in spread decks like abomasnow.

Hello, the US Army Rangers would like to have a word with you. If it's from a bell tower, go with the Marines.

On-topic, Salamence SW can hit the bench for 100 for FFUU with a UU discard, and yeah, there's the Blaziken that snipes bench for discard. Palkia G X, Garchomp C X, Dusknoir SF, Gengar SF.

The problem with that idea is that Palkia G lv.x is a better card in every possible way.

Seriously, Palkia G and Garchomp C are the best two snipers in the format. Everything else is way out classed by them.

Magmortar Lv.X Snipes For 100
Palkia G Lv.X Snipes 2 for 60
Garchomp C Lv.X Snipes for 80
Empoleon PL and MD as Well as the Lv.x all Snipe
Salamence can snipe for 100
even Dodrio (the one Before the SV one) can snipe 3 for 30
Honchkrow G can snipe for 40 to something with damage on it
Gengar from AA Can Snipe Gengar from SF can Snipe 30 or 60
Dusknoir SF can Snipe for the amount of Damage on it
and the list goes on..

You may want to read Palkia G lv.x again. It can hit anything for 80, not 60. Big difference there.

Cacturne-PL 42... 2 colorless snipes for 50..but the pokemon has to have damage counters works good..in a gallade,bronzong deck and with DCE BACK it would do pretty good for a stage 1.

Gengar, SF says hi2u.

It hits for 30/60 depending on if the thing has any Poke-Powers, or nothing if Unown G pops up. But the Poke-Power, Lv. X version, free retreat and Poltergeist makes it worth it.

My mistake Haven't read the card in a while
I was thinking of Blastoise
Blastoise Snipes 2 For 60
Palkia G Lv.x Snipes 80

Thanks for Correcting me though,wouldn't want to run into one thinking I can survive with 80 HP

^ That's why it's always a good idea to read a card's text if you're not 100% sure of what it does.
