Not much other than the exs, although Roaring Resolve Lucario exists, if you want to go for a very funny burst damage meme deck.

It is at worst a Pokemon Fan Club, at best two master balls. The biggest downside is that it's a supporter. I usually give cards like this very big leeways, but Sonia and Gloria doesn't see much play either. We'll have to see after rotation happens.

That's true, but Gible is still a Fighting type, so if you already have a Garchomp in hand you'd want to get the other.

Garchomp seems good. If we can get a Korrina reprint...

Archaludon is a literal bridge. It's stupid. I love it. Here's hoping it gets a decent card, either a non-rulebox or an ex. Could be pretty fun pairing the ex with some of the SwSh Duraludon cards.

I REALLY hope Garchomp and/or Groudon have some competitive potential.

by the time you have 10 lost zone cards you might as well play everything else other than kingambit

All Revavroom needs is a tool drop-esque attacker (that isn't the lost zone porygons) and it'll be decent. This guy would be pretty funny in expanded though. Imagine four Metal Goggles.

Then tell TCPi to stop putting these obviously-not-designed-for-booster-boxes cards into booster boxes. Creatures inc. and TPC Japan designed these specifically for the starter decks and puts them on the correct product lines. I'd understand if your complaint is that your favorite pokemon got...

True. I think the differences stem from the fact that these are entirely two different products. The starter... starter decks are tailor-made lists intended to showcase the TCG mechanics AND the poster pokemon. This one is part of a randomly distributed decklists, and a secret list at that.

Ah yes, welcome to another new episode of "Why is a card from a starter deck intended to be easily used and simple for fresh players bad?" You do NOT want to do that. Maybe if the newbie has experience in other TCGs, but in general, assuming that this is their first rodeo in card games, just...

Arcanine ex/Armorouge is a rogue (haha geddit) deck just shy of one or two card supports to being good. This Arcanine isn't it, but suppose one day in the future Fire gets a super good energy acceleration engine, this Arcanine can be a 1/2-of in that deck for a one-prizer revenge killer to help...

Oinkologne is also a valid target for the band. It's already using Full Face Guard anyway, so either this is a straight upgrade or you can bring 8(!) damage reduction tools just to be extra annoying.

Its an actually funny Grass attacker option in a LZ toolbox shell. Youre almost always going to be behind in prize for the first few turns and its easy enough to get to 7 prizes for a Mirage Gate. The only downside is that there's no Dark type decks in the meta to take advantage of.

This Clefairy is printed to support the Clefable ex, suppose you want to upgrade from the ex Started decks. It's not great, but not terrible if you can somehow make them work.

Would be pretty funny if we still have scoop up net in rotation.

Unfortunately the Nidoqueen does absolutely nothing except sit in the back, but if you want to do some jank rogue expanded thing, the Queen's Call Nidoqueen from Team Up fits perfectly nice.

The funny thing is that players who buy the minimum rarity singles are having a field day. If you want a playset of Iono at uncommon all you have to do is walk to anyone who bought the boxes and grab them for like... ten bucks at most.

I'm guessing that the trigger was Mimi's SAR spiking WAY over the bar. Somebody in Japan thought it's fair deal and here we are.

I keep seeing "low prints" getting thrown here and there, but do we actually know how much did TPC Japan printed these boxes initially?
