    Discussion Neglected Pokémon in the TCG

    I'm actually glad you brought up Unfezant because I've been meaning to add its gender forms to my list. Thanks for the reminder.~ Unfezant is unlike Meowstic because it's functionally the same in both genders. So like you suggested before, when it's purely cosmetic, it's hard to say it's...

    Discussion Neglected Pokémon in the TCG

    I take formes into consideration when there's precedence for it, e.g. the Rotom forms have each had a print with specific card names like Mow Rotom, Frost Rotom, etc. Some Pokemon like the Shellos line have had uniquely named prints in the past -- but there's some gray area there, since the...

    Discussion Neglected Pokémon in the TCG

    The individual letters could be considered neglected, but Unown itself appeared in AOR. The Pokémon Company hasn't really printed different forms for a while, like Rotom; even the recent three Wormadam cards weren't different formes per se, despite having different typings. Going by Pokémon like...

    News First 'The Best of XY' News, Reprinted Cards

    I don't think the west will get this. Like others have pointed out, they've already put some of the cards into other boxes; and unlike the west, Japan has no Expanded to fall back on. That said, if by some awful miracle this set is released outside of Japan, I will likely quit competitive play...

    News 'Islands Waiting for You' and 'Moonlight of Alola': Japan's Next Sun and Moon TCG Set!

    Castform has been missing since Legends Awakened; nearly a decade! Happy to see it again. Here's to hoping for a miraculous return of its three other formes soon as well.

    Pokemon Are Chinese Cards Bad?

    They are indeed fake. You won't be able to use them in any sanctioned tournaments, nor will they have any value to collectors, and their quality is likely awful. They are "bad" in the sense that they are illegally made, but China has basically zero copyright laws so they can get away with...

    Help The "Is There A Card That Does This?" Thread

    In addition to what you listed: - Judge can also increase their hand size if they have less than 4. - Ace Trainer has them draw to 3. - Flygon (Primal Clash 110) has an ability which can have the opponent draw up to 4. - Mismagius (Breakthrough 66) has an ability which has the opponent draw for...

    Writing Athena Plays Pokémon Moon - Choose My Starter + Naming Theme!

    Wonderlocke is my favorite of the lockes. You run the risk of getting nothing but Yungoos, but there's also the chance of getting something spectacular. :3 As for the narrator, my vote is for Meowth (of Team Rocket). I feel there'd be room for a lot of hilarity due to his sass and tendency to...

    TCG Fakes The "Common Wording Errors" Compilation

    I have a question. When is it appropriate to use a Pokémon's name instead of "this Pokémon"? I know it was once common to use a Pokémon's name instead, but I thought that wording rule died off after Call of Legends. :oops: For instance, Haxorus (BREAKthrough 111) has Dragon Dance which reads...

    Help The "Is There A Card That Does This?" Thread

    Ah, okay! Expanded Basic Lightning-type Pokemon with 110+ HP and Fighting Resistance: Emolga-EX (XY 46) Zapdos (Evolutions 42) Zapdos (Roaring Skies 23 and Generations 29) Zapdos (Next Destinies 41) Zapdos-EX (Plasma Storm 48) Of these cards, Zapdos-EX is clearly the best, though needs some...

    Help The "Is There A Card That Does This?" Thread

    Unfortunately there is currently no Standard-legal Trainer with that effect. The closest we can get is using Devolution Spray to return a Stage to our hand. There are no Lightning Pokémon in Expanded that are resistant to Lightning. In fact, there are no Lightning-resistant Lightning Pokémon...

    Expanded Espeon-GX/ Eeveelutions

    I've been using a similar deck for casual play, though adjusted for Standard. I concur with @PokémonRanger2319 that you should run a Flareon AOR, since [G] decks with Pokémon like Decidueye-GX and Lurantis-GX are pretty strong at the moment.

    Discussion The Future of GXs

    I didn't mean anything impolite by it, I was just clarifying that I didn't intend to contradict you specifically. I was responding to the questions in the OP. It's all good with me if we disagree (or agree, as probably is the case, at least on the bigger picture). I agree no one Stage should...

    Help Is Pyukumuku's Innards Out ability working for you?

    I just tested with a Regice and you're right, it wasn't activating. Seems like they've accidentally made the Innards Out ability act as if it occurs on your turn instead of after a KO. Since it isn't listed in their "known issues" list, we should submit a support ticket to...

    Discussion The Future of GXs

    Yeah, there's definitely a chance GX will end up being abused and far too dominating. And since TPCi is a business first, they might just start pushing GX hot sellers like they did with EX and go back to ignoring the rest of the game. And don't get me wrong, I don't think GX are the optimal...

    Help Is Pyukumuku's Innards Out ability working for you?

    I just made a quick Pyukumuku deck on PTCGO to test it. The ability is working for me, so maybe there is something else going on. Is your Pyukumuku in the Active spot? Is the ability being turned off by your opponent? Are you being KO'd by an attack, as opposed to an effect, damage counter...

    Discussion The Future of GXs

    My post wasn't a direct response to any of your posts, but I'll explain my reasoning. Of all the AT Pokemon, only 5 are non-evolving (three of which were Promos). Entei and Articuno are the only Basic AT non-evolving Pokemon that appeared in a set, so I don't think the existence of some...

    Discussion The Future of GXs

    I think Ancient Traits were the first attempt at getting away from the Basics-heavy format that started in early-to-mid-BW. The problem, of course, was that the majority of AT Pokemon were just not playable or were outclassed by existing EXs; and then they gave ATs to various Megas, which made...
