Seismitoad EX Revival

Seismitoad EX's Fate

With a lot of cards being rotated out of a typical Seismitoad EX decklist, Seismitoad will have to obtain a new fate. 

The base strategy for a typical Seismitoad EX deck would be to prevent your opponent from playing item cards starting turn 1.

Now that the compatible tools have rotated out, Seismitoad needs to survive on its on.

But how?

Seismitoad has now become a tool that can be used in almost any deck. Whether it is to stall while setting up your main attackers, or using Seismitoad to counter popular cards, this is the fate that has been given to him.

He is now a card that can be splashed into any deck.

"Hey, what deck do you play?" "Vespiquen, with a splash of Seismitoad" = This is what typical Pokemon TCG conversations will be like. 

So, why is he so compatible?

1. He has a double colorless energy attack, compatible energy-wise with every deck today.

2. Its primary attack can slow your opponent's setup massively. This will make your setup faster/keep up with your opponent.

3. It has 180 HP, like most EXs.

What are some of his downsides?

1. 30 Damage is not really much for an EX. a Muscle band would help quite a bit.

2. A 3 retreat cost.

3. Its water typing. Now that Grass Pokemon are back on the rise, it will be hard to keep up its HP in the new format.

Thus, I would recommend running 1-2 Seismitoad EX in your decks at most.
