I've got a deck that uses Scramble Energy, and I'm trying to find a starting Pokémon that I can let be KO'd & isn't Jirachi (DX). I've narrowed it down to Farfetch'd (EM) & Spinda (LM) [edited after post #19] & Yanma (UF).
Farfetch'd (#107, Emerald)
70HP | Weak: L | Resist: F | Retreat: 1
Spearhead (C): Draw a card.
Nosedive (CC): 30, Farfetch'd does 10 damage to itself.
Spinda (#26, Legend Maker)
60HP | Weak: F | Resist: None | Retreat: 1
Poké-Body: Pattern Distraction - As long as Spinda is your Active Pokemon, whenever your opponent's Basic Pokemon tries to attack, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. You can't use more than 1 Pattern Distraction Poke-Body each turn.
Whimsy Draw (C): Flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, draw 2 cards.
Double-Edge (CC): 30, Flip a coin. If tails, Spinda does 10 damage to itself.

Yanma (#50, Unseen Forces)
60HP | Weak: R | Resist: None | Retreat:1
Grand Loop (C): Draw 2 cards. You may switch Yanma with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.
Spinning Tail (GC): Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Reistance for Benched Pokémon.)
You can see the pros & cons of each. I just can't decide how many I should run (4-0, 1-3, 2-2, or a combination of 5). Currently running 2 Fafetch'd, 2 Yanma & 1 Spinda.
Any help appreciated.
