The cards in particular made people go insane. Stores would charge $2.50 for a single Nidorino and up to $60.00 for a holographic Venusaur, and we all heard legends of kids who struck it rich after pulling a Charizard.

Use Brave Bird wouldn't be the best idea especially with Decidueye's lower HP total of 140.
