This little video analyzes one of my favorite cards in the Pokemon TCG (Trading Card Game), which is Dragapult. It's not just the latest Dragapult Ex that I love, but rather a mechanic that most iterations of the Pokemon have in common, which is its ability to spread damage around. The reason I like this is because it's like a metaphor for Dragapult's behavior in the lore of Pokemon. It likes to hang out with Dreepys and shoot them out at enemies with its Dragon Dart ability. The idea that Dragapult spreads damage in the TCG is like a card-based translation of that ability. It represents the way that Dragapult doesn't fight alone, but instead likes to gang up on enemies with the Dreepy(s) that live in its horns.
