*{{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Pidgey|73}} is chiefly there to evolve into {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Pidgeot|10}} at some point. If necessary, {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Pidgey|73}} can also stall in the early game with its ''Corner'' attack, which prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating.

*{{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Nidorina|40}} actually has a purpose other than evolving. Its ''Fast Evolution'' attack allows the player to search their deck for up to two evolution cards and add them to their hand. This is especially useful in Queendom because a centerpiece of the deck is, in fact, the concept of "fast evolution" so as to power up {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Nidoqueen|9}}'s ''Power Lariat'' attack.
