He turns any attacker into a serious threat by granting double strike and lifelink, which forces immediate answers and highlights why he often appears in discussions around the best white cards in MTG for aggressive Commander strategies

Without a strong move like Forest Dump, it becomes only a matter of time before a stronger Pokmon comes around that can deal more damage than Giga Drain can restore
