>>33758018>Energy Removal and Super Energy RemovalPeople who didn't play the format don't understand ER's role in the game. Yes, every deck ran it. However, it was generally the least important card in the entire deck. Nobody would think twice before throwing them out with Computer Search or Oak to grab a Gust, energy, or Pluspower. Wiggly decks would generally lead with Hitmonchan/Mewtwo, then bring in Wigglytuff a few turns later once resources became more scarce.
>ElectabuzElectabuzz sucked ass. Everyone learned pretty early on that getting 2HKOed by Hitmonchan and being put within Wiggly's OHKO range with a bad coin flip made it a huge liability. Although Scyther/Hitmonchan/Electabuzz is remembered as the "main" Haymaker deck, Electabuzz was losing popularity in favor Mewtwo as far back as the Jungle era. Pic related also hurt its usage.
