Space-Time Smackdown’s Bidoof lives up to those God memes

Our lord and savior Biddoof will arrive to the game with a bang thanks to a potentially busted attack that has some interesting implications. For two colorless Energy, Superfang will cut the opposing Active Pokemon’s HP in half.

That’s right, this buff little Bidoof can deal a whopping 90 damage to powerhouses like Charizard and Venosaur EX to soften them up. Thanks to its Basic nature, it also only awards your opponent one prize card for taking it out.

While it doesn’t have the insane damage potential of something like Mythical Island Eevee, it is far more consistent in the same slot. What’s most exciting about Bidoof however is its ability to get around the game’s most frustrating wall.

Because Super Fang isn’t a direct attack, it can soften up Druddigon without falling prey to its pesky Rough Skin ability. There are some potential drawbacks to Bidoof like its high retreat cost so its place in the meta is speculative for now. Depending on how its evolution Bibarrel shakes out, it may just be a must-have opener in the digital TCG.
