You can have some amazing combinations with this card.....if your opponents pokemon is not able to do enough damage to knock it out in one shout this card could be unstoppable if you have the right combinations 7.5
 
Great ability, but Garbodor isn't an uncommon deck, and there are only really two Pokemon this works with (Accelgor and Magnezone/Gyroball). On top of that, it's a Stage 2 with a pathetic attack and you need to constantly attach an energy to retreat unless you have a ton of Switch/Escape rope.

HP is good and the weakness/resistance are good, as there aren't many Electric types and Landorus/Terrakion get resisted, but overall there just isn't enough to make it work. If your opponent can't catcher/laser for a turn or two, it really won't hurt them too badly. Just KO the Togekiss and watch the scramble to get another one, which will be a massive drain on resources, if you can get a second one without getting your Togepi KO'd.

4/10
 
This card isn't very good. It's HP is 140 and is weak to :lightning:. There are still Eel decks out there and it can really hurt this card. This card would be little more useful if it's ability while it was on the bench. If this was such a good card, it would be seeing play. But it see no play, whatsoever. So I'd have to give this terrible card at 1/10.

I think it has potential. It slows the game down by protecting you from lasers and catchers. With this out you're free to set up. The weak damage output limits this to support role, but it's not horrible for the cost and the draw effect is usefull.

I realize Gothitelle's magic room is better, but Gothitelle gets destroyed by Mewtwo. This can survive a few X balls before going down.
 
If there was a decent hit & run attacker and a good way to negate the retreat cost, this would be a really great card. As it stands, it's one of those cards that you probably want to keep a couple of just in case something develops. 6/10
