Galarian Zigzagoon (Sword & Shield 117/202) is a Basic Pokémon with 70 HP, Weakness, lack of Resistance, Retreat Cost, one Ability, and one attack. But with Dedenne-GX and item-based draw, that may be realistic to achieve this.Įdit 1: Mentioned first turn rules in the BW-era, making Sableye/Crobat more likely to achieve donks. Trying to pull such a feat is almost slim to none due to the limitations of the amount of cards in your hand. If you combine 4 Galarian Zizzagoon, 4 Super Scoop Up, and 4 Scoop Up Net, then you could be placing TWELVE damage counters on the board on your first turn, widening the scope of OHKOing a lone target with 120 or less HP. Spoilers: There is an item card called Scoop Up Net which lets you put one Pokémon from play (except Pokémon-V and Pokémon-GX) into your hand while discarding all cards attached to it. With decks running very few basics (like around 4-12), starting the game with just one Pokemon seems more likely than not. 4 Crobat and 4 Poke Turn means it’s 130 HP body becomes a 50 HP body, making Special Darkness Energy boosted Overconfident attack you deal exactly 50 damage, and we haven’t even factored in Expert Belt and Plus Powers! If the designers aren’t careful with future card effects, there could be a FTK deck on the loose. Because they let you use trainers on your first turn, any Pokémon with 130 or less HP (yes, even Reshiram & Zekrom, which had the biggest HP of a basic Pokémon at the time) are at risk of being KOed before your opponent gets to play. The change to turn 1 rules in the BW era pushed donk decks to the top. I’m not saying that this card should be banned, but because of Sableye/Crobat G SP, they had to push the rotation to July 2011 instead of September to save two of the biggest tournaments from first turn donks. Which makes one of the few moments where going second is bad because your strategy of donks is stopped cold. That applies if and only if you’re going first though, as you don’t have to worry about Silent Lab or Garbotoxin because they haven’t played them yet. You’ve already got 4 Galarian Zizzagoon and 4 Super Scoop Up, but then you also have Scoop Up Cyclone which acts like a fifth card for scooping purposes. ![]() In Expanded, you have more opportunities to place even more damage counters (albeit just one I can think of). Pair with Special Darkness Energy, and the Sableye/Crobat combo can take out Pokémon with 90 or less HP.įast forward to Galarian Zizzagoon, the first turn rules won’t allow you to attack or play Supporters, but they can still play items and stadiums! 4 Galarian Zizzagoons and 4 Super Scoop Up means that you have placed a total of 8 damage counters on whatever Pokémon it has in play, enough to donk against a lone Jirachi TEU, 2 Lost March Natus, or Ditto Prism Star if you’re opponent has a bad hand to start with! Sure, the coin flips of Super Scoop Up can sometimes not cooperate with you, but this is still a problem as it creates first turn donks. And if the Defending Pokémon’s HP is lower than Sableye from DP Stormfront, it’s Overconfident attack get boosted damage (40 damage if the condition is met, 10 otherwise). Granted, the first turn rules at the time states that the player going first cannot play Trainer/Supporter/Stadiums (but can still attack), so you can hope to put 4 damage counters at best. And Poke Turn scoops Crobat back to your hand so that you can play it again, and put damage counters again. ![]() I remember seeing Crobat G SP being used almost a decade ago, and it’s Flash Bite Poke-Power does the same thing. But this ability can lead to extremely aggressive plays, to the point where it’s one of the few cards that COULD make you win on the first turn of the game before your opponent gets to play! ![]() Even one damage counter can go a long way to securing a KO when your main attack falls short of. It’s ability, Headbutt Tantrum, lets you put 1 damage counters on one of your opponent’s Pokemon when you put it into play from your hand into your Bench. Details: If you’re wondering why I rated perfect scores across the board, it’s because I feel like Galarian Zizzagoon is almost not good for the game (in other words, being a card that’s considered broken).
