For one, it's only 1 retreat cost instead of ex's 2, so I can scoop it up from active with X Speed without spending that turn's energy, which could be crucial to powering up Charizard.
Second, 100 HP is usually enough to withstand the same number of hits Moltres ex would've. From my experience few people run Starmie ex with Giovanni, but I could be wrong.
Third, regular Moltres awards only one point so it can be sacrificed to buy more time for Charizard.
Basically, stalling is a viable alternative to having increased chances of drawing Moltres ex, whose role is just to wall and give energies to Zard. Obviously, the earlier Moltres ex is drawn the better the odds of winning the match, but it doesn't need to be relied on.
Oh, and FUCK RED CARDS. But you guys are obviously welcome to use them and unbrick my hand.
