80HP on a Stage 1 is just abysmal. If we're already powercreeping, then a Stage 1 singleprizer should have a minimum of 120HP, and a Stage 2 should have a minimum of 200HP. A 200+HP Pokemon actually has some chance of surviving a single attack from an ex Pokemon.
 
Appletun might be my least favorite of the line but it does have my favorite AR out of all of them, it’s so gooood
 
People who are disappointed by this "dragon" set - first time?

TPC rarely theme sets beyond a few Pokemon, some sets have titles centered around 1 Pokemon. This is not a special set, it's a normal expansion set.

I'd say they've already exceeded expectations with at least 11 or 12 Dragon lines and so far all the AR have been fantastic.

Honestly rather disappointed in the dragon lineup this set. We are down to a stage 1 family or 2 basic dragons to be revealed.

The next card after Appletun in the set is Swablu. If Hydrapple is in this set, it would have to be grass type. Really doubt that happens like that here.
Click to expand...
next card in the set after flapple is #48 (unrevealed) with rufflet being #49 so it's either hydrapple or a colourless basic, pretty safe bet on hydrapple I'd say
