I wish pokemon attacks had been designed with more thought in mind. As the game is right now, half the pokemon have the attack you should be spamming and the shit attack you fall onto when you can't find your fucking energy. The other half don't even have a choice. Abilities are the only other place where you have to put some thought, but most of those just give you a small buff in exchange for nothing.
Pic related is kind off an example of what I mean, even if not the best. Submission reduces the power of karate chop, so you might avoid it if the pokemon is fresh, but once you take some damage you start to weight the advantage of the extra damage given by submission against getting KO'd early.
I guess I'm just mad that most pokemon cards have an attack list like this
>some energy - deal damage
>more energy - deal even more damage
>even more energy - deal even more bigger damage
With little reason to put thought into which one you're choosing.
