Depends on how much the stats increase.

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."

It's one stage per, but that can still have a drastic effect.

Seems like a great counter for a sandstorm/lax incense evasion team.

It may make things like minimize or double team more widely used.

but then you'd still have to worry about the attack boost.

So a burn and evasion? possibly?

Don't know if it's quite as broken as Dragon Dance can be though. :/

**Marchie** · 01-16-2011, 10:42 PM

Why don't you like Dragon Dance, sir? haha

Vgfian · 01-16-2011, 11:08 PM

Oh no, I LOVE Dragon Dance, kind sir.

I just think it's possibly more broken xD

It's good against evasion noobs.
