[yoyofsho16]

First, hurray!
As expected, and as everyone has been saying on the other Giratina threads... This is THE WORST Giratina. For the same energy, the other Origin form 'Tina has Overslash for the same amount of energy as Dragon Claw. The second attack here is just plain awful as well. Dragonbreath is just bad. A 50% chance of it doing nothing at all? Awful. The only things this Giratina has going for it are +30 weakness and 2 Retreat Cost, but those don't really counter the bad attacks. 3/10.

[DuskFan]

Just... a bad Giratina. 3 for 80 and FLIPPY? and 2 for 30 is ugly. Definitely a 3/10 there. This card is just terrible and a waste of space.

[AzNightmare]

This is not only the WORST Giratina ever. This is simply the worst "theme deck covered" pokemon card ever.
I think even base set Mewtwo from theme deck Zap! is more useful.

[Bippa201]

figures. If PUI wants us to use Giratina, they'll make the worst one the easiest to get

I wish I could give a 0 so 0.5/10

[KAZUTO!!!]

Oh joy. Theme deck Giratinas. >_>

Tell me again why this card is th CotD? =P

Anyway, let me go over why this card should never be used:

It has no Powers, which is a bad thing - it means it has to attack to do something. And it's attacks aren't too special either. 2 for 30, oh goodie. Now, why would I play this when I could be playing something that stalls, disrupts, or spreads? 3 for 80... oh, this looks good. But wait - there's 50% chance it does nothing, leaving me open to be KO'd! OH NOEZ!

2/10

[DarC]

I wish I could slap whoever decides what goes in theme decks.

[Deoxys Cool Form]

First Attack sucks... Second attack...Sucks to be simple its Rubbish 3/10

[i like burdn of a day]

AHHH IT BURNS! I THINK IVE GONE BLIND!!! i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw that as card of the day, the only good thing is that is has +10 hp more than the other tinas. 1.5/10

[koolkidkaz]

The good:High basic HP, small weakness = 4/10
110 HP and Basic
no X2 Weakness

The bad: better attackers, easy weakness to hit, art not worth 1cent = -2/10
Bibarell can do 60 for , giratina does 30 for.
80 and paralyze is nice, but flipping for it is a waste of time. MagnezoneX does the same for less energy, and only 2 discarded.
weak to anything with weavile.
Art looks like a helicopter is about to kill you.

total:
2/10

[espeon1]

meh the worst one ever. awful awful awful. this thing is ruined by unown g and then if they get tails it does nothing and if they get heads it does 80. my brother always uses this one and he spends 3 turns charging it and then it cant hurt me.

2/10

[Polksort]

more than likely the best giratina. anyone who isnt using it is clearly incompetent and a danger to themselves and others. all around amazing card.
11/10

You are wrong in many ways. His last attack is 30 for 80 and FLIPPY which sucks. And 2 for 30 is bad. The other orgin form Giratina is way better.

loool
anyway I like the way it looks

[homeofmew]

0/10 Unplayable. Use another Giratina

[vegitalian]

1/10 - This is probably one of the worst cards out there.

[Coppy90]

This is the WORST GIRATINA EVER! colorless for 30 is horrible! A BIDOOF could do
that! Dragonbreath could fail and takes a little time to charge up. At least there are a ton of other Giratinas that are actually usable. I'd give this card a 2/10.

[natizardblast]

its the WORST thing in the format!!!!

1/10
only cause no card gets a 0

[ArmoredMewtwo]

0/10

I despise this card with every fiber of my being. Beyond that, saying anything else would just be repeating what everyone else is saying.

[PikaPlushie]

I shudder every time I look at this card and the horribleness of it (and yes, apparently horribleness is a word since spell check didn't catch it...)
It is only obvious that they would make a theme deck out of this one. It is the worst, so it would be the easiest to get.
2 for 30? 3 for 80 and flip? Uh, no. There is not one thing good about this card.
1 out of 10 from me.

[ugly psyducky]

This is a terribly disappointing card. At a pre-provincials I was judging, I get called over to a Junior's game by one of the better Junior's facing a new player. He's used the second attack and flipped tails, and I had to explain that an attack doing nothing is no damage. The look on the poor kid's face after spending 3 turns putting energy on.

1/10 a real day spoiler of a card!

[Dual_Draw]

This thing is amazing seriously. 3 energy for a possible 80 or 0 is unheard of in this format, it's art is an eyesore so your opponent won't want to look at it, so they'll probably scoop when they see this...

Who am I kidding, it's terrible. Let's see...I have this beating Turbo Bidoof and uh...Turbo Chatot.
0.33333333333333333333333/10

[Black Mamba]

Wonderful. 4 of these should be a staple in every deck. In fact, why not run 5?

10/10

[Regis_Neo]

Easily the worst Giratina of the bunch, #28 doesn't really offer anything better than its cousins. Stats are the only thing better really; 110 HP is actually 10 HP better than its other variants, +30 Weakness to is more preferable over the x2 found on the other Giratinas, and colorless for a Retreat Cost is one :colorless less than usual. Attacks are what causes this Giratina to fail: Dragon Claw is overpriced at colorless for a mere 30 damage, and Dragon Breath, while reasonable at :colorless for 80, has a 50% chance to fail completely (the benefit being paralysis if you get Heads). Overall, consider any of the other Giratinas over this one, you want to supplement your Lv X form with better attacking options to rely on.

Modified - 2/10 (Unless you're using Giratina Lv X solely as a tech and want a variant that can endure hits slightly better, you'll want to use any other Giratina over this one)
Limited - 6/10 (Eh, ok, but not really worth having unless you play a lot of Pokemon)
Unlimited - 1/10 (Failure)

[TheDoctor]

Why does everybody hate this card, it is arguably the most broken card in the format 10/10 =D
