Volkner can get you an item and a lightning energy so in theory you can use it to get rare candy/ultra ball like with Skyla. To replace Bridgette you could use pokemon fan club, potentially Steven's Decision or even the Dunsparce coming out that is supposed to allow you to search out basic...

Just when I thought this set was done giving us amazing GX pokemon it comes through and delivers Shiftry. Shiftry is easily one of my favorite pokemon and the card is really good. My wallet might not like this set but definitely the most hyped I've been about sun and moon so far.

I'm not sure how well Dragons are positioned outside of Ray but Altaria has peaked my interest to the point where I'm going to put in work crafting something around it. White Kyurem is also an intriguing pokemon and one that I could see being played but with what I'm not entire sure. Although...

I'm going to respectively disagree with you especially when you chose to use language like "stretch", "overhyping" or "forcing" when arguing treasure's use which is strong in tone and feels somewhat contrived. My initial argument was it should be used just for Lele ( which I still believe it...

Since before the set dropped I've argued Mysterious Treasure should be a staple considering it only costs one card to get a Lele which is really good and should make it something mostly everyone should run for consistency purposes along with Ultra Balls. Imo. Mysterious treasure is not...

While Buzzwole loses consistency I feel this means Raichu and potentially even Silvally get better. At the same time it's hard to gauge by how much as a lot of the Buzzwole techs people use against it are also rotating, which means Latios may see a significant increase in play post rotation to...

Wow, that box had me worried for a second thinking it was Tapu Lele GX as I just bought one yesterday.

Manectric seems interesting, could definitely see it pairing well with Dragonite as you attempt to set up the deck.

Blaziken: Interesting card, concerned about the energy discarding, but feel it has synergy with Reshiram's gx attack. (maybe might work with electrode as well) Altaria: Immediate thoughts are Altaria is amazing and is probably the card I am most interested in playing from this already fantastic...

I think Espeon Garbodor might be a good deck to show new players since it demonstrates the value of abilities (through restricting them), the value of utilizing items efficiently, game condition (Espeon's confusion) and the importance of building decks for consistency. Disruption is inherently...

Both pokemon represented well. Rayquaza has a lot of potential with VikaVolt and with its abilities turbo lightning/Raichu might be worth a try. Stakataka look awesome and although I'd like it to have 210/220 hp it still has some viability, especially when paired with metal frying pan. It looks...

Hoping Thundurus has an ability that removes weakness on lightning pokemon.

VikaBulu is better than DuskZone because it has consistently placed well (and I believe better than DuskZone), and doesn't require you to have the energy in hand.

With beast ring a thing now, Electrode definitely has a place in the meta.

I'm not entirely certain which deck is the best deck in the current format, but Alohan Muk has helped immensely in my Buzzrock deck against attacking hoppa, and anytime someone plays Mew (which was a lot only a couple weeks ago). Personally, I feel like Zoroark/Garbodor is probably the best...

I feel like people struggle to understand how variance works in terms of games. Back when I played poker variance was a huge component that factored into ones short and long term results and in a tournament where you are only playing like 10 ish sets it can be hard to discern if you are playing...

I feel like Electrode GX is going to find a place with Ultra Beasts, because you'll use Electrodes ability to get access to beast ring immediately and power up some non GX ultra beasts simultaneously. Just not sure which Ultra Beasts it might be best with considering Electrode isn't coming out...

I agree this set is kind of meh, but Mysterious treasure(s) are worth picking up, beast ring also looks good and the Diance prism. Personally, I only really want Naganadel but I'm not going to sweat getting it anytime soon.

Golisopod GX is something I am also concerned about for Zygarde GX, which is why I've considered teching in Reshiram or playing Silvally with fire memory.

I want VS Seeker back just for the full art.
