Is Grimmsnarl good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Shadow Bullet on Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex (Destined Rivals), doing 180 for 2 Energy. The bulkiest version is Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex with 320 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Grass and Metal attackers — that's its weakness.
