Summary

Pyukumuku may be replacing Druddigon as Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket's Chief Staller.
Pyukumuku deals 50 damage when knocked out, compared to Druddigon's slowing ability.
Pyukumuku's retreat cost and ability to deal damage off a single energy make it a versatile option to consider.

One thing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket's latest expansion, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Celestial Guardians, has been excellent at is letting lesser-known/not-as-well-liked Pokemon step into the spotlight.

Now, as first spotted by user Phailups, another 'filler' Pokemon may be stepping into the limelight, filling a role that🐼's been held by Druddigon for a number of months.

Druddigon May Have Just Lost Its Throne As Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket's Chief Staller

Pyukumuku card from tcg pocket celestial guardians.

Druddigon was added to Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket as part of its second expansion, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mythical Island, and has been 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a staple in many decks since then. It's Rough Skin ability, which deals 20 damage to the opposition Pokemon when attacked, slowe💯d the game down as players reluctantly avoided attacking it, allowing its user to set themselves up. Pyukumuku may be about to take its throne, though.

While Pyukumuku doesn't deal damage to the opponent's Pokemon when damaged, it does deal 50 damage when it's knocked out. Ove💮r the course of☂ two turns, when combined with the Rocky Helmet tool, it has the potential to deal more damage than Druddigon.

Yo🦄u can see the damage details in the table below:

	KO'd by one attack	KO'd by two attacks
Druddigon with Rocky Helmet	40 Damage to the opposition Pokemon	80 Damage
Pyukumuku with Rocky Helmet	70 Damage	90 Damage

As you can see, from a pure passive damage perspective, Pyukumuku comes up trumps, but there's mo꧃re to it.

Pyukumuku's retr𒀰eat cost is only one energy, meaning it can be withdrawn from battle at the drop of a hat. It can also attack for 20 damage each turn off a single Water Energy, meaning that its damage output can be increased further.

That's not to say Pyukumuku is better in every situation. There 🍎are times when you need a wall with a higher HP pool th😼an Pyukumuku's 60, but it certainly has its utility and potential to replace Druddigon in a wide variety of decks.
