AQ Furret vs R/S Linoone

[Rav373]

Hello Pokebody, I'm not conducting a poll, but I wondered what you all think is the better of the 2 to use in a deck? Furret--Scavenger hunt power or Linoone- Seek out attack

 

[Tonu]

i'll choose you linoone.....

 

[dkates]

I prefer Furret. It avoids decking, searches the deck for Energy, and is a Power. Furret's attack is also helpful against Babies.

 

[Magnechu]

I like Linoone better all around, but Furret can be better in certain decks. Linoone is my choice though because it can search for ANY 2 cards.

 

[Pidgeotto Trainer]

If your playing something like Scizor than you need Furret. Linoone can be helpful in any deck but it is an attack.

 

[Extreme Espeon]

It all depends on the format! Furret is obviously great in Scizor and it works pretty good in Light Dragonite, too! I prefer Furret, especially in draft. I got two lines of it once in a draft and the only reason I won was because he couldn't flip heads on my baby and he decked while Furret's power kept me alive!

Furret is better when yo uneed the Energy, especially Special Energy, that's why it's so great in Scizor decks. It doesn't have to use an attack to get you cards.

Now, Linoone is better in a stall deck or many other types of decks. With just 70 HP, you'll have to heal it a lot to keep it useful, unlike Furret who can sit on the Bench. It'll get you the two cards you can use against your opponent for next turn, making it very useful.

Here's an idea - play both of them in a Scizor deck, you can grab an Energy with Furret, attach to Scizor, then use Linoone to grab two more. You could very possibly have all 4 Metal energy in your hand by turn 2! Then, you just wait and power up Scizor.

Thanks for the input Pokebodies! Looks like Linoone may be very useful in speedy decks that needs to search for certain cards.(CPU)
