Why Mantyke?

We chose the name Mantyke for this blog because it's a baby pokémon. And it's cute. And it matches the color scheme of this blog.

Plus, the names of the other baby pokémon that we like; munchlax and mimejr, already had blogs named after them.

We like baby pokémon because they are harder to hit, and have interesting and useful poké-powers. Mantyke can "Call for Friends", which can be really useful if we have an empty bench.

Baby Pokémon have a 50% chance of being missed on an attack. And they have a decent number of hit points considering they are only babies.

From what I understand, baby pokémon are new for the Diamond/Pearl expansion. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this.)

Do you like the babies? Do you use them in your decks?

Yes. i have Mantine and Mantyke in my waterdeck. I call for friends from mantyke to get mantine from my deck to my hand, then pokebody to put mantine on mantike. From that moment on pokebody from mantine helps me to retreat with less loss of energy. So I get mantine back on the bench as fast as possible, there it stays during the play. Assoon as im forced to make mantine my active pokemon again, i use Giant Wave. A simple but effective strategy.
