>>57071101>doesn't mean the effect is badMaybe, but let’s put it another way. Surge is bad / underwhelming *unless* we get a means of lightning energy production and/or better targets. It’s not a good place to be in, and I don’t have optimism that the situation will improve before the card is entirely irrelevant. Happy to be proved wrong. Just don’t think it will happen.
>Just like Brock's effect is very good, and likewise suffers from bad options.I think Brock is way better than Surge for the sole reason that it can make Onix work, whereas Raichu usually serves its purpose without Surge. Brock is decent now. Surge is often not.
