Have you all noticed that Zapdos from Aquapolis has a weakness to Lightning? Now that is weird and the Pokebody doesn't even help it all...I don't think anyone will use this card.

The 1st attack is kinda bad...you gotta FLIP for Plasma and it only does 10 damage. Everytime you get tails...you have to wait 1 more turn with that silly attack to get Lightning Energies.

Scyther is fast, but not as fast as Scizor.

Scyther is strong, but not as strong as Scizor.

Scyther has a few attacks, but Scizor has more attacks.

Scyther is a Grass Pokemon, Scizor is not(HAHAHA!!!)

You could use this card in Combo wiht The Expedition Ampharos, which lets you move an Energy card from your Benched Poke to your Active. That way, you can power him up first turn!

The weakness to itself really stinks!

However -- another way to get Lightning energy onto this Zapdos is by using the Reflect type attacks from the one Electabuzz and/or the Aquapolis Ampharos. You get to attack and get energy on the Zapdos. Finally, a real use for Reflection attacks.

Or...

You can send up a Magby, Sputter and attach Electric Energy from your hand during your turn. Or you could play some Juggler and hope for some good Plasma flips...

Why would you bother powering it up? The card is bad even without the power

Grimer, how many times do I have to tell you mud pies don't actually have mud in them, so they're not going to help you evolve into Muk!

Because it seems a shame for a Legendary Bird to be unplayable! We are just hoping that there is some way to occasionally see this Zapdos in play.
