Whoo, first post, lol!

Anyway, bad. 1 for 30 and Energy revival is... okay, I guess. Attracting Body is very flippy, with the initial flip and the flips for Confusion, but it COULD prove useful, to make an opponent think twice about attacking Delcatty. Energy Assist, is, of course, overshadowed by Rotom MD's Dual Trans, but... yeah.

6/10
 
This is a pretty interesting card, it's very easy to throw into any deck with such a simple 1 :colorless attack, and it's a great active setup tech cause it also defends with confusion. Though I think with the switch/warp point cards played in the game today, it's just not going to be as affective as people would first assume. There are a lot of combinations out there that will knock this card out in one hit, and though it might be nice for helping push energy through, I don't think it will help enough in the long run to see a lot of playing time in the Top Cut of major events.

There are just better cards out there, nice try compensating the loss of our DRE and Scrambles though PokeMakers! :smile:

80/100

Pros:
- My favorit pokemon, a cat. 3 points
- 1 energy, get up energy 'n attack on 30 damage. 4 points
- 80 HP. 2 points
- With Dakrness energy and weavile sw, it will do 40 damage. 7 points
- PokeBody that can confuse. 10 points

Cons:
- Figthing +20(GG/Plox :() -3 points

Rate: 7/10. An ok card ;)
 
I say 30 for a Sinlge Energy is pretty ok. But 80 HP and a +20 Weakness to:fighting: may leave it to be considered working in a deck.
Bottom-line, I like it, I love I can deal damage while attaching an Energy.

I'd give it 5 - 7/10
 
Well, time for my first review since coming back from my study abroad trip. Should be fun, lol.

Delcatty is a sort of...meh card. 80 HP is average for a Stage 1, +20 Weakness to Fighting...well, I guess it'll depend on how the metagame develops, no Resistance, and 1 Colorless to Retreat. Attracting Body is a weak Poke-Body, a flip for Confusion isn't that great, and Confusion itself only has like a 50/50 chance of working at any rate. Energy Assist is decent at 1 Colorless for 30 damage and energy attachment from the discard, but if you're looking solely for energy attachment from the discard, Rotom does this much better and he's a basic.

Modified - 6/10
Limited - 8/10
Unlimited - 1/10
 
Solrock does this alot better, but atleast you can use any energy type with Delcatty. It's just one of those cards that isn't bad but isn't great :)

7/10
 
Stage 1, who has a medicore body, the attack is nice in some decks though.

Because I think a 7 is to high.

6.5/10
 
well, this was a big downfall to the ex series
we had the energy draw delcatty (great card)
now we have this:
80 hp is not much decent nowadays for a stage 1 without stage 2 form
the body COULD work but it's flippy and the only good thing in the attack is the energy cost
i'd say:
HP - On - 3/10
DP - On: 5/10
 
This card isn't that bad, chill out. I give it 10/10 in limited format at least. This was the mainstay in my PR deck.

In DP-on limited, I'd say it is 6/10. I probably wouldn't run it in my normal deck, but an auto Energy Pickup isn't horrible, and damage isn't ever bad.
