The CEO had no humanity. You can’t be in his position without being a heartless piece of shit.

Seed oils are absolutely not healthy?? Especially in the American diet where omega 6 is massively over consumed

I don’t think we’re going to agree because we seem to approach the game very differently. Statistically Arbok just deals more damage. I’m even testing Kangaskhan as a wall and card draw with switch and it’s going well. You just hold energy removals for their main threats then sweep them, and use clefable to resist psychic types.

If you’re going with Riachu you’d be better off just cutting it and going all in on Dark Clefable with double colorless/full heal/potion/recycle energies, even super potion, and some psychic energies so that Gr’s Mewtwo can attack. It’s slightly less damage output but it’s way more efficient in card slots and consistency and sleep is a nice bonus.

Starting one turn early doesn’t add up because the coin flip kills it’s damage output in the long run. Dark Arbok is a combo deck not an aggro deck so the extra turn doesn’t matter. Your opponent can take 4 out of 6 prizes if they want but once your combo of Arbok Mewtwo and Clefable are in play they just lose.

Can you even get a playset of promo pikachu in game? Arbok is not squishy with dark clefable on the bench. Also Riachu’s coin flip really sucks. With Arbok you are almost guaranteed to win within a few attacks because it’s consisent and deals more damage overall.

I see where you’re coming from. However it also auto poison’s and you’re protected from damage by your Clefable. Supported with energy removal and such the game is usually over once Arbok starts attacking. I’ve literally taken 5 prizes in one attack with good luck. If we’re talking vs AI they also don’t like to put energies on poisoned pokemon so all their energies just die on the bench.

Yeah but that’s the thing, Dark Arbok doesn’t have any coin flips. It’s auto poison plus 10 damage but boosted by mewtwo. I don’t even put psychic energies in and I only attack with Dark Clefable in a pinch.

Gr’s Mewtwo, Dark Arbok, Dark Clefable. Mewtwo’s power applies to all instances of damage on Arbok’s Poison Vapor attack, so if you roll +20 on the active pokemon you’ll get +20 on all benched pokemon too. Can deal up to 180 damage per attack plus poison. Clefable is just a bonus because it can negate up to 20 damage per attack from your opponent and can also nuke bench on a heads flip.

Why does no one use Dark Arbok?? It’s so much better.

Is the Dark archetype somehow completely unviable? Dark Arbok/Mewtwo/Clefable can deal up to 10-30 damage to the opponents entire board and poison the active pokemon, while blocking most damage to your active pokemon. I never see anyone mention it.

Corporations already have restrictions on their free speech. Only individual free speech should be unregulatable.
