Don’t overlook the potential of Staraptor Frontier Brain (11/147), the Colorless-type Basic Pokémon within the new Frontier Brains’ collection. Sure, Quick Attack is nothing to write home about, doing either 10 or 20 damage depending on a coin flip, but it’s enough to whittle down your foe until you can blow the Pokémon away with Whirlwind! The Whirlwind attack can fit into many easy combo plans—for example, use Staraptor Frontier Brain to do 30 damage to the Active Pokémon and force that Pokémon to the Bench. Follow this up by using Absol [G] to wear down the newly Benched Pokémon. Since none of Staraptor Frontier Brain’s moves requires a specific Energy type, this Pokémon can nestle right in to any deck!
