Noibat and Noivern are in the new Sylveon Vs. Noivern Trainer Decks.

Looks like we're getting some other neat EX's in this set. Magnezone doesn't seem terrible. Toxicroak is an odd choice, but we'll see what happens. Shiftry is... interesting. Leaf Draw seems good in principle, but without a Blastoise-type engine in Grass and no proposed reprint of Super Rod...

It's no Collector, but Fan Club seems good. AND POKEMON CENTER LADY I MUST HAVE ALL OF THEM.

... but I couldn't find anything anywhere else on the forums, and the Professors are the ones who would really know the answer. Has the 2014 Professor Cup format been released, and if so, what is it? I build them to help my local Profs get geared up for the tourney at Nats, and to keep around...

RE: Mega Venusaur Stallz? ADVICE PLEASE Not attacking with M Venusaur is kind of a waste, since he's arguably the best Mega Pokemon we have right now. 120 damage, plus Paralysis and Poison (130), then add Muscle Band or Silver Bangle (150/160) and Virbank City Gym (170/180), and they have to...

Fire is way too overpowered in this set at the moment. Hopefully they give it some good balance. Alternatively, it's nice to have a mini-Engineer's Adjustments for Fire only. This next set is gonna make my Unlimited Fire Deck super-crazy-cool.

Not a Professor (yet) but in regards to your Skyla vs. Scott pondering, I recommend Scott. Not only does he give you your Stadium, but also your next draw Supporter and possibly a control Supporter like Seeker or Judge. He also means you can run fewer copies of Supporters, because you can tutor...

The format is really similar to the later DP format, where SP dominated until the HGSS rotation, or the early BW format, where Six Corners was everywhere. It's a bit more supporter heavy at the moment, but there is a good balance developing. Current top decks are Darkrai/techs, variants of...

Has anyone given thought to Salamence? Salamence DRV rips their hand to four on your turn with Scornful Storm, and Shred hits for 90 straight up. Salamence PLB has Breakwing (goodbye, Tools, and it's not Plasma, so goodbye Silver Mirror), and Gaia Crush is a 100 damage answer to the Stadium...

The return of Rainbow Energy, Professor Oak's Research, Energy Removal (slightly modified), Impostor Professor Oak (also slightly modified), Mr. Fuji (slightly modified), and Super Potion! Looks like the start to a good block of sets.

I run this deck as well. My base is: 3 Giratina 4 Zubat 4 Crobat 4 Hypnotoxic Laser 2 Silver Bangle 2 Virbank That's my core. It does 130 to EX on your turn. Giratina does 130 to everything that's hit with a special condition, which is why I max out Laser. I also run 3 Trubbish Tool Drop 2...

I'm tinkering with Salamence right now. Devolution Spray is helping a lot. There are a few other key cards I'm not at liberty to discuss right now, but it's very... unexpected.

It's just product repackaging. Nintendo likely made more tins than packs, so when the cards get reprinted, like they did in LT, they'll just repackage the tins with newer packs, though usually at a lesser quantity than the actual release tins (three packs instead of four, like HGSS) and ship...

Physical play. You lose a lot in playing online, as has been mentioned: no physical reinforcement of playstyle, no immediate feedback for mistakes, no true social interaction at all. You also lose out on a lot of your opponent's psychology. There's no quiet slup of the shoulders when a bad draw...

RE: DelBoar Surprise contender: Simisear from Plasma Storm. It's good midrange: 90HP Stage 1, Searing Flame deals 20 and Burns for one Fire. And once you get Emboar up and running, Flame Blast is DEVASTATING. 40 damage initially, plus 20 for each Fire energy attached. And the XY Starter...

RE: Unlimited Format Decks @ Mora: I agree. Eevee is probably the most fun you can have with a deck, and it can be very effective. If that's something OP is interested in, I would suggest getting hold of some Chain Reaction Eevees, the old Wizards Promo ones. They have the ability to evolve at...

Ah, the buy-a-box promo. Gotta get me one of those.

RE: X&Y Card Series: Your Predictions and Wants Oh, NOW they give us the other half of Expert Belt! They should have released Muscle Band and Great Cape at the same time, and saved Rescue Scarf for this set. DelBoar will wreck faces. Of note: Simisear PLB also has Delphox's attack, on a Stage...

RE: Unlimited Format Decks Unlimited is a funny format. If you live in an area where Unlimited is loved and people actually play it, then your options are pretty limited. The biggest deck/decks (I say this because they're all very similar) have been hurt badly with the new rules change...

I forsee some nasty control decks coming out in the near future. Both Gothitelle/Trevenant Lock and a different deck, focusing on other things...
