underestimated, actually. a lot better than it sounds. not for every SP deck though...can save games in tank dialga.
4/10 - but when it shines, it SHINES
 
Today's CotD is Bertha's Warmth from RR, a moderately useful Supporter for SP decks. Removing 5 damage counters is quite significant, much more than your basic Potion, and only losing out to 2 Poke Healer+ played together (8 opposed to 5). However, since this is a Supporter, it's weighed down by the fact you can only use 1 a turn, and more often than not there are more important Supporters you should play in a given turn. Still, it does provide nice healing for SP decks, which some players will appreciate.

Modified - 7/10 (Shame it's a Supporter, but then again if it were a regular Trainer, it'd be overpowering)
Limited - 10/10 (Use SP Pokemon? Use this Supporter!)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No SP Pokemon here = no use for this. Plus, there are better healing options anyways)
 
I think this is one of the simplest Supporter Card ever created (and don't get me started on Mom's Kindness) and has also a capacity to be game-changing. For your once-a-turn supporter, you can remove 5 damage counters from one of your Pokemon SP.

It can work in tankish Dialga decks, and can work to other fast SP decks to an extent. Lessening Poke-Turn usage is a great perk to using this card and it helps greatly to offset accumulated damage from Crobat drops. It's also useful with Alakazam 4 LV. X (RR) as you can use Bertha's after placing most damage counters on a single Pokemon (similar to using Poke-Turn). Ultimately, it's up to you whether healing will be advantageous to you for the rest of the match and Bertha's being a Supporter really gives the difficulty in making the decision.

Modified- 7/10 (a useful card but should be used mid-late game, in which case, you should have set-up adequately, and not use that many supporters such as Cyrus)
Limited- 9/10 (even better here as healing is essential. Preventing knock-outs is crucial with only 4 prize cards)
 
I run 2 of these in a test Dialga G/Forretress G deck, and it actually works quite well, allowing, with a couple of special metal, for the removal of all damage you put on Forretress G.
Overall, though, it's 2.5 potions in the form of a supporter, and removing 5 damage counters isn't always that great of a perk.

5/10, for being tech~able in any SP deck.
 
Very good card in SP Decks, The Only Problem is its a suppoter, So You should only use this card when your all done with your set up.

Overall 5\10
If it was a Trainer 9\10
 
I also run 2 in each SP deck I built, and they have helped me on many occasions. I also agree they are game changing. Only downside is this is a supporter.

rated for modified: 8/10 for SP decks

1/10 for any other modified deck
 
With Garchomp C Lv. X coming out, this card is nearly obsolete. The upside is that it works wonders in Purugly G.

3.5/10
 
I dislike this card over any healing card. Even potion. It has a limited use and isn't good as a supporter. I'd much rather play 2 life herbs(since it's 50/50 odds) to remove 6 damage counters on any of my Pokemon. \

Non-Sp decks:1/10
sp-Decks: 3/10
