Most people dont have the drive to get through the hard times, which means that those that do will more often than not reap the benefits
Some claim to have mathematically solved which number is best on average, but that can change depending on the format and matchup
Cards lose value if they are bent, scratched or have frayed corners
Catch you on the flip side
Other games do not have such direct reaction systems but allow players to cast face-down cards or "traps" that automatically trigger based on the actions of the opposing player
I would rate this a 4 out of 5, the first thing I like is that it has a somewhat high hp for a stage 1 card with 100, it doesn't have a weakness since you can use its Poke-Body, also with the Poke-Body you can prevent all the rest of your Pokemon from taking extra damage if they are weak to dark type Pokemon and I like Dusclop's move
