holographic venusaur pokemon card ex (182/165) Your Active Pokemon and the Defending Pokemon are no longer Asleep Venusaur - 003/078 (Reverse Foil)

Even with Weird and Thallid as early-game blockers, a deck running this combo will struggle in the format

Do you agree with my comparison of the two

As far as which moves I would use, I would use Flame Jet if Salamence was my active Pokemon and I didn't have 4 energy cards on it yet, but I would attack a weaker bench Pokemon of my opponents hoping that I could knock it out in two turns, then once I get 4 energy cards on Salamence ex I would use Bright Flame and if the active Pokemon is finished off by 120 damage I would use Flame Jet the next turn to knock it out
