If you've taken part in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket's battle scene, you'll know that one Pokemon, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Druddigon, appears in most decks. It's an annoying wall capable of dealing damage without consuming any energieꩵ🌟s.

While there are a handful of ways to counter the Dragon-type Pokemon, it appears an unlikely hero has risen from the ashes, and that hero is Biဣdoof.

Druddigon's annoyance comes from its Rough Skin ability, which deals 20 damage to any Pokemon that dares to deal damage to it. Coupled with a Rocky Helmet, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Druddigon is one of the most annoying Pokꦬemon (or most useful, depending on which side of𓂃 the play area you sit) in the entire game.

There have been a handful of counters used by this point, including those that switch the active Pokemon with 💃one on the bench, but the way that Druddigon's ability and Rocky Helmet are worded means that it's Bidoof's time to shine.

Both Rougꦍh Skin and Rocky Helmet specify that the Pokemon need to be "damaged by an attack" for the effect to take place. Technically, Bidoof doesn't do that.

It's Super Fang attack, which costs two colorless e🐼nergies to use, halves the opponent's Active Pokemon's remaining HP, mentioning nothing about actually "damaging" the Pokemon. This means that Bidoof is effectively immune to both Rocky Helmet and Druddigon's rough skin.

It also means that in just two turns, Bidoof can deal 80 damage to the Cave Pokemon. With Dr⛎uddigon's energy requirements, it's unlikely that the Pꦚokemon is going to deal damage back, leading to something of a stalemate as neither Pokemon can be KO'd. That is unless you pair a Greninja with the Bidoof, which can then snipe Druddigon's remaining HP.

It's an intere🍸sting strategy using a Pokemon that has affectionately been nicknamed "God" and time will tell how viable it actually is in the long run.
