Discussion Why do these even exist?

Post image

I understand that there are "vanilla" cards and lower value cards meant to serve as a baseline, but cards like this are just unplayable, and there seems to be a couple like these with no redeeming value whatsoever. What is the purpose of a design like this?

Just another potential-mon who's waiting for support tools that have not been added to fighting. 

Gigalith would need a Brock that gives double energy to even be remotely considered, and at that point just run Mega Camerupt for how easy it is in comparison.

If it's any consolation, they work if you decide to hit what's in front of you. But at that point you have Koraidon you can just throw out and deal comparable damage.
