Am I the first to notice this??

[Shellshock929]

I was looking at the spoilers list of Miracle Crystal, and I happened to notice that Igglybuff has both a Poke-Power and a Poke-Body. Here's what it does:

Igglybuff - Colorless – HP50
Basic Pokemon

Poke-Body: Hopping Float
Each of your Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, and Wigglytuff ex’s Retreat Costs is reduced
by 1.

Poke-Power: Baby Evolution
Once during your turn, you may play Jigglypuff from your hand on top of Igglybuff (this
counts as evolving Igglybuff) and remove all damage counters from Igglybuff.

Weakness: Fighting
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1

This is almost similar to Elekid from Neo Genesis, except this one has no baby flip power, but the Baby evolution. Discuss...

New game mechanics! Yay! That don't have to do with giving Pokemon unusual types! Yay!

The origional Igglybuff (Neo Genesis I believe) had a Pokemon-Power and the "Baby Rule." This new Igglybuff seems to just be a take-off on that one.


It is interesting, though.

Now if we can get a good power/body on a Poke...

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

yup, I saw this. I personally hope they make more cards with both a Poke-Power and a Poke-Body.
And flaming spinach, that's an innacurate analogy. If you relate this to anything, it should be Neo Elekid-baby rule, Poke-power, and no attacks.

so if one were to have a cursed stone out and weezing DS out, would it do 20 per turn? sweet.

Don't forget Mist Attack (it does 10 to everything)

He's talking about inbetween turns, not counting attacks.

elekid

igglybuff

Both have the baby rule and one power. Is there a difference?

elekid

igglybuff

I thought Igglybuff had an attack. Maybe the reason I thought of elekid is because I had actually seen that card before, and not igglybuff. Didn't play much during the Neo series. But yeah, that would make Igglybuff a better analogy, since it IS an Igglybuff...

Well, technically the old babies had the "Baby Rule", which wasn't a Poke-Power at all. This seems to be just a reintroduction of cards like the old babies, kinda like Elekid (as others have mentioned).
