Chatot Majestic Dawn MD 55 – Card of the Day

Chatot Majestic Dawn MD 55 Pokemon Card
Remember Copycat from Expedition? Chatot from Majestic Dawn has a useful attack for nothing, that lets you shuffle your had into your deck and draw cards until you have the same amount of cards as your opponent.

Chatot can be considered as a really good starting Pokémon. With free retreat, resistant to fighting, and an attack to refresh your hand, Chatot makes do as a great starting Pokémon that can be worked into almost any deck.

With 60 HP and colorless, Chatot’s first attack can help you get out of sticky situations. For example, a bad start. Everyone has one every once in a while. Chatot can come in handy to rid you of that bad hand. Also, the ever popular Power Spray which could annoyingly stop that crucial Cosmic Power or Set Up could leave you with a small hand and unable to draw. Chatot’s attack gives you an opportunity to bypass those annoying power stopping cards. You could even Warp Point Chatot out to refresh your hand and either leave him there as a sacrifice to buy time or just free retreat him to the bench and send out a main attacker.

It’s second attack, Chatter, although most likely will never be used, can be fairly annoying. Chatter, for 2 energy, deals 20 damage and stops the defending Pokémon from retreating. This attack can be best used if your opponent has a bad start, for example, a Baltoy start. This adds stalling power and could potentially slow your opponent down.

A starter without retreat of course is really good. It’s attack is useful, but I believe that it is not very reliable. Personally, I would rather have something solid as a start rather than a card to refresh my hand to a bunch of random cards. Also, you cannot control how many cards your opponent has in their hand, so Chatot can end up pretty useless if your opponent has only 1 card in his/her hand…

Thoughts, comments, concerns? We’d like to hear it!

    Funnily enough, I just had this used against me at League yesterday. I also traded and got one myself. I do like him, but as you say, he is very situational. I think the free retreat is what really saves this card.

      I agree with Adam! Did someone else use it and just get a better hand? I’m curious :) I’ve never actually used this card, I just wrote what I thought about it. First hand experience is helpful :)

    it looks like a flexible card… although i would prefer some more power on chatot but otherwise it looks like a pretty decent card. that said Adam do u have a forum?

    Thanks for posting Noah! Yeah it is not meant to be an attacking Pokemon, it is great for support in a deck. It can help a ton with consistency.

    And no I do not have a forum. I kinda consider “this” to be the forum of the site.

    I have considered creating a forum, but it would be way too much for me to maintain, I would need other people to basically run it for me. Is there actually a demand for a forum? Let me know because I can make it happen if enough people are interested.

    • Mike Qua  → Adam

      I personally like this view better.

      I agree, forums are a pain in the neck to work with when you’re admining it…but its a TON easier for the general public. Adam, if you decide to create a forum, I’d be more than happy to help you by applying for a moderator position…but I’ve never actually admined a forum so I’m not sure the responsibilities of helping being an admin…but I’ve been a moderator in other places as well :P

    I think Chatot is a cool little card. I probably wouldn’t use it in anything, though.

    Pretty neat, but like Rokman I wouldn’t use it.

    The SV Chatot did well at pre-releases, that Power is pretty good.

    • Mike Qua  → kwisdumb

      Yeah, the SV one is pretty good! I ran it in my prerelease deck with the Primape…I fought someone using a Wailord deck and I OHKO his own Wailord :)

      …Possibly will write up an article about the combo.

    This little bird helps me out of tight spots more than I could give it credit for. Free attack, and free retreat. It is such a great trump card if you’re power locked and you’re drawing dead.

    On the forum issue. One thing I really like about this site is that it’s offering something different than Pokebeach or Pokegym (not to take anything away from them). I like that the content is controlled (maybe focused is a better word) by you guys, but that you are really open to the input of others. I think it helps the site keep on a positive track.

    The problem I find with forums on the other sites is that there are too many threads that get started by people who are really one-sided and then arguments start and the admin has to get involved. I’m not saying that can’t happen here, but I think it will be less likely with the format you have set up.

    Just my thoughts on the matter.

    • Mike Qua  → Dave

      Dave, my thoughts EXACTLY, I couldn’t put it into words why…but your reasoning is right on the dot. I agree with you with the arguments thing, and the fact that everyone is so open is what made me leave Gym and come here (also being a personal friend of Adam was a contributing factor XD). I once curiously asked what people are currently running and what do people think would do well at Worlds on Gym and I got made fun of… :(

  16. Chatot: Great tech that breaks the power lock. Is a solid starter but is also an easy prize.

    Forum: My only problem is the fact that EVERYTHING has to be submitted/reviewed. I think there should be a section for features articles and things of that nature, and then another section where anything can be posted without reveiw but won’t be featured (idk like an actually forum or something? not sure how this would work out). I think quicker postings could be helpful, especially for people who need last minute help before a big tourny, etc.

    Drew and I were playing Gardy mirror in T4, I won game 1 easy he won game 2 easy and game 3 was real close. At one point he Chatters and I’m like wtf just happened and it sets me back a turn or two while he gets time to power up stuff.

      Haha that’s rediculous, it just shows how every single attack you have at your disposal can come in handy.

    I was just reread Pooka’s 2009 Nationals Report and he seems to have used Chatot’s mimic quite a bit to get around Mesprit locks.

    • Adam Capriola  → Dave

      Ya I saw that too, it seems like more people should be using this card to help against Pokemon like that. You never know what deck is going to be thrown at you in a tournament, but Chatot can always help.

    the bench space makes me mad though. I’d rather uxie for cards and have them spray it, or run an extra supporter instead. Yeah and mikey that really really sucks that Drew did that to you.

    I used Chatot in my deck at League this week and it worked amazingly well.I couldn’t keep track of the number of times Chatot was able to zip in and out of the active position.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much rather the Zune Marketplace. The user interface is decorative, has a lot more flair, and some cool features such as ‘Mixview’ that let you swiftly see related collections, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and one more set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by related performers, tunes, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you locate other people with shared tastes and becoming buddies with them. You then can listen to a playlist developed depending on an amalgamation of what all your buddies are listening to, which can be enjoyable. Individuals concerned with privacy will probably be relieved to know you can stop the public from seeing your personal listening routines if you so select.
