I have been studying and comparing many of the ways that people decide on which Pokemon they want to start with. In theory you should want a card that gains a large amount of card advantage and then can also serve other ways if it is found late game. So my question is Why Phione? Everyone seems to think that Phione is worth it, in fact it seems to be wanted as often as Empoleon himself. I understand that it is a better version of a certain Jirachi card, but I can't find a list of that deck. The only reason I can see his use is if you us Phione with a call energy to save on the dead weight that Pachirisu's become after using their Call for Family more than once. If there is a special reason I should run this Pokemon in my decks, please tell me.
