Is Mabosstiff good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Boss Headbutt on Arven's Mabosstiff ex (Destined Rivals), doing 210 for 3 Energy. The bulkiest version is Arven's Mabosstiff ex with 270 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Grass attackers — that's its weakness.
