The Most USELESS Cards In ALL Pokemon History.

[@serifAizawa]

M Manectric absolutely doesn't deserve to be put on the list, while it didn't see as much play as the pre-evolution it was still one of the best Mega attackers in the game and had top placements from around 2015-16, especially at US Nationals and Worlds for 2015. Great video nonetheless though, I forgot about how awful the evos for cards like Dragonite V were

[@BurtsPTCG]

Mega man was good but the basic was just so much better 😭

[@adamjones9818]

it was good true but 210 with free retreat and energy acceleration was too good back then.

[@gligarguy4010]

Why DID Erika randomly own a Dratini anyway? And why did she never evolve it to Dragonite? 🧐

[@BurtsPTCG]

🤣🤣

[@anavaeru]

She probably got it from the Game Corner. Also lots of Gym Heroes/Challenge Pokemon never got evolutions 🥺 no Erika’s Wigglytuff, Koga’s Pigeot, etc

[@BurtsPTCG]

Oh that's a pretty good idea haha! And yeah this is true!

[@yukijadenfilms3425]

Dratini line could be described as elegant. Also for dragon types in the TCG they usually incorporate colors of the Pokémon into the attack cost, Dragonite has green and yellow, so grass and lightning. Grass is Erika’s speciality.

[@vanesslifeygo]

@@anavaeru oh word

[@nolanhock8888]

To be fair to Dragonite VStar, it was designed to evolve from Pogo Dragonite V and they probably knew if they made the Vstar too overpowered it would be problematic.

[@BurtsPTCG]

True for sure but that doesn't make it any more playable tho 😭

[@Enat1510]

I've seen the Metang-Dialga combo in action. Truly terrifying.

[@BurtsPTCG]

I love it it's my favourite deck 🔥🔥

[@TheDoubleMinority]

I used to play a 1-1 Mega Manectric in Aromatisse. It was key in a few match ups.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Mega man was very good! Shame the basic was just better 😭

[@JohnpRayer]

Oh the nostalgia, thanks mate also the Arcanine caught me off guard :D

[@BurtsPTCG]

Poor Arcanine 🤣😭

[@ChazBlanks]

At the time of this video Dialga VSTAR just won the Indianapolis regional and I'm glad it did

[@BurtsPTCG]

Certainly did! I am a big fan!

[@Arcana_zero_studios]

That thumbnail is just the TCG in essence. Several mistakes were made in the entire creation of the game and while it was well intentioned, it kinds crached and burned harder than if you clicked hi-jumo kick, the opponent click encore, then switched in a chandelure and used will o' wisp.

[@PeridotEX]

Talking about XY era cards, the Galvantula and Gourgeist from Phantom Forces probably count. There's no reason to use them when you could use the Night Marchers

[@BurtsPTCG]

Haha good one! 🤣🙌

[@SirFailsalot91]

Shrine of Memories and Memory Capsule would allow a Pokémon to make use of its previous evolutions' moves, so if you used them, you'd at least give your Pokémon some better HP without losing too much on them being able to use decent attacks, but it's only for attacks and not abilities, so Pokémon like Cleffa and Erika's Dratini would be SOL. Plus there were likely better Stadium or Tool cards you could make use of instead.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Very true!

[@LluxyTrade]

Its a good day when Burts uploads!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much! Got more planned! Will hopefully get them out fast 🙏

[@AllanG1333]

Honestly I'm surprised that Dialga from Call of Legends wasn't mentioned, probably the most useless card of all time haha

[@BurtsPTCG]

That's truly is a bad card haha! Features in my worst cards of all time video 👀🤣

[@ForeverB05]

Ayy real good vid to have on in the bg while I'm doing work, thanks Professor Burts! Some of these cards are pretty funny, like the Arcanine at the start haha!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Haha thank you! Poor Arcanine 😭

[@eightcoins4401]

The first one is a pretty stupid argument considering you're evolving a HG/SS card into a card from a prior expansion (Supreme Victors) that it wasnt balanced for. Especially considering HG/SS had a new way better Arcanine card.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Were they not in the same standard format? 👀🤣

[@guilhermes.r9366]

Was trying to get a neighbor's Mega Lucario card for collection purposes, but he's being stubborn to trade it... Now I got a convincing argument to get my hands on it, thanks!

[@BurtsPTCG]

😂😂😂 Yeah for sure! Show um this clip :p

[@alolantails]

man I remember following you back when you were at 2k and still called TheSlowpokeWell. Your quality of content is amazing

[@BurtsPTCG]

Aha yeah that was ages ago eh 🤣 thanks so much for your support :)

[@elneco4654]

What's worse about Evolving Skies Flaaffy is that all other Ampharos' cards that came during its rotation all sucked, not just Ampharos ex.

[@BurtsPTCG]

This is very true 🤣😭

[@pi_xi]

Wasn't there also a card that just said "Shuffle your deck." I don't mean Arcade Game, which actually could do something.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Alph lithogragh! It featured in my worst cards of all time video! featured quite highly too!

[@pi_xi]

@@BurtsPTCG Thank you, yes, I meant that card.

[@shrilmody5942]

During the time of PTCGO M Gengar ex was my to go card. Copying not just your active opponent pokemon but any pokemon in play with no downside literally. Think you have 3 basic energy attached and you copy Charizard ex ability deal 250 damage.. discard all fire energy … basically a free 250 attack…. All the Gx and Ex at those time. M Gengar was really very crazy for me..

[@BurtsPTCG]

Glad you could make it work! 🙌🙌

[@heavyarms55]

I don't think it's fair to compare a newer basic to it's evolution in an older set.

[@eessppeenn001]

What about ancient fossil, with 10HP, and no attacks. Meaning it's practically a free prize card for the opponent, if they have an attack benched pokémon, or can swap in your benched pokémon, before you have a chance to evolve the next turn?

[@BurtsPTCG]

This is true but they are necessary to get the fossil pokemon into play 🤣😭

[@primej485]

Dragonite Vstar isn’t even in the same set as Dragonite V… the one that it comes with is way worse 😂

[@BurtsPTCG]

The go dragonite V is tragic 🤣😭

[@Kirbyster]

That Clefary might be worse than Cleffa, but it’s not useless since you need it to evolve into the Clefable with a pretty good ability!

[@BurtsPTCG]

You could just play clefairy as a basic if you wanted to get to clefable tho :p but I see what you mean 🤣

[@bobsponge8539]

I’ve been using Mega Gengar EX in the expanded format and won a few matches, using Roaring Moon’s own attack against it

[@BurtsPTCG]

Love to hear it! 🙌

[@StickyTrap]

Yes absolutely make another video like this In fact just keep making videos in general your content is top tier!

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you so much my friend! Your support means a lot 🙏🙏

Let's GOOOOOOOOO! New Burts video!

[@BurtsPTCG]

My guy my guy 🙏

[@SevEvoimaru]

I love Ampharos, Manectric, & so many others in this video. Pokémon Co. Int'l did my Bois & Baes so horridly wrong. I was in tears with how good but cucked M Lucario EX was.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Mega lucario got done so dirty eh 🤣😭

[@SevEvoimaru]

@@BurtsPTCG frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr man!!!

[@BurtsPTCG]

@SevNeijiVee was sad times! I remember trying to make it work so much back in the day 😭🤣

[@SevEvoimaru]

@@BurtsPTCG yyyyyyyyeahhhh... The amount of set-up to get my big boi out for blood was so tempo heavy & slow, that him hitting the Active was... Anticlimactic. They did my bodyguard, sidekick & XY best fren so completely dirty. I mean you'd need a pressure washer & would take days to get the surface layer off, but he'd be dirted on all over again... And when I say "I was in tears", I was dead ass serious. Bc PokémonAmíe was a feature that I highly enjoyed. It made his Mega Evolution BUSTED. AND HE WAS A COMPETITIVE BRED LUCARIO. A THIRD DESCENDANT GENERATION. BRED FROM ANCESTRAL SETS OF PARENTS FOR ATTACK, SPECIAL ATTACK, & SPEED. HE WAS A NO-FRILLS BEAST. I got banned from local game shops bc I would wipe the opponents with him. He held Metronome, had Aura Sphere, Extreme Speed (PP: 8/8) Stone Edge (PP: 8/8), & Drain Punch for good measure. When I saw he was gonna have a Mega Evolution card, I was thrilled. When I saw no Lucario Spirit Link, I was upset... It was very heartbreaking.

[@jeffjones2961]

I'll have you know that we would tech the 50 HP clefairy to prevent bats from being able to knock you out with a bite after they'd already committed 1 or 2 damage counters to it and buy you the turn you'd need to catch up on prizes

[@BurtsPTCG]

Well I be damned 🤣

[@ninomitchell2039]

I'm sorry, but make the coin flip on dragonite fail on heads. It's still awful, but at least it makes sense and is kinda funny

[@BurtsPTCG]

Yeah your right for sure 🤣😭

[@elneco4654]

I've been wondering since I started seeing the new babies (but soecifically Cleffa), can they actually evolve or they're just there without any of their previous advantages?

[@BurtsPTCG]

They can if you so wish! (at least back in the day) someone in the comments said that some people ran the clefairy so you could be outside of range of dark golbat ko's which kinda makes sense 🤣

[@kamiotamega5317]

I played a noble victories electric deck and did tech in a electross for once I was fully built up lol

[@BurtsPTCG]

Aha fair enough! Was the attack good? Can't remember it 👀

[@kamiotamega5317]

90 for 3 energy Not bad for a deck that attaches multiple energies every turn

[@BurtsPTCG]

@kamiotamega5317 could be worse tbf yeah!

[@TheKanick88]

I absolutely enjoy dis vid‼️

[@BurtsPTCG]

Love too hear it! 🙌

[@zerodyme87]

Please use the Arcanime from the same set, Heartgold and Soulsilver 1/123

[@BurtsPTCG]

You could for sure, this interaction did still exist tho 😂

[@zerodyme87]

@BurtsPTCG it may have, since the sets were almost a year apart. But a trainer would not use the less effective card vs the superior version from its own set

[@BurtsPTCG]

Thank you for the explanation!
