While '''Jail Jormungand''' has an optimal shape for Defense Combinations, its poor teeth make it a very risky option for competitive play. Furthermore, with the release of the Cho-Z Layer System, especially with the release of Layers such as [[Energy Layer - Hercules H4|Archer Hercules]] and [[Energy Layer - Phoenix P4|Revive Phoenix]], '''Jail Jormungand'''is far too light to be competitive.
