With rotation coming up and looking at the possible decks available, I came across Munchlax from DP. THis card has interesting potential to say the least. As a Starter it doesn't look like much at first, but the Heave attack has great possibilities!
IN the current play format, Heave can setup many situations for you. PLaying Garchomp, Heave as a starter can begin the discarding process turn 1 for a single :colorless energy. If you don't have what you need in hand right then, attach a Call energy and get those basics out! Next turn Roseanne's for some Energy cards :colorlessand then Heave them to the discard pile! Which brings me to another card many are looking at for next format, Kingdra! Imagine starting with this little guy and get those energies in the discard so quickly! The :colorless:colorless Retreat is the only real problem, but that is nothing Switch Warp Point or attaching another energy and discarding more into that pile for powering up Kingdra!
Let us look at another helper Munchlax assits, Claydol! Imagine starting with Munch and Baltoy on the Bench... Heave so next turn you can setup Claydol and draw those extra cards! That's some good eating!!
One other potential of this card is the possibility of 60 for :colorless! 60 OHKOs a lot of starters in aggro decks and can be a heckuva hitter midgame (all be it can get smacked really quickly!
So this little guy might find a home in a few possible decklists, could he find one in yours??
Have fun and keep looking at those BAD cards, you might just find something there that works!

And I didn't even mention Blissey or Banette! Yes, Heave for Sixty then Spiteful Pain for 80!
