Up until now, we've never really had a card that just outright gives a poison counter to an opponent
BREAKpoint (2016) BREAKpoint expanded on the new gold BREAK mechanic while throwing in heavy-hitters like Greninja BREAK and Mega Gyarados-EX
The Erika connection elevates the card significantly, pairing the beloved starter with the Celadon City Gym Leader whose gentle, nature-loving personality is a perfect thematic match for the Grass/Poison-type
Clearly a reanimation target, this black creature is particularly annoying to get rid of and can provide a bunch of card advantage, too
Sure, the ceiling on a creature like Legion Warboss is pretty high if it isnt answered, but theres not really a lot of work you have to do to make that happen, really
So you can choose the option that best fits your needs and preferences
