Solgaleo-GX can abuse Jirachi pretty easily. Getting the chance to pull a card you need, like rare candy for Metagross, use Ultra Road, and you're still left with your option to retreat for the turn in case you have more shenanigans in place.

I think the GX attack could stand to do a tad more damage per hit. It's nice for cleaning up a field but as it is you're only doing 180 to a single GX if you use all six hits on it. If you could target any pokemon you could at least guarantee a knockout on a baby by devoting 4 hits to it, but...

It's a tad situational. You're basically choosing an EX/GX to deal 30 damage to, six separate times. That means if your opponent has 6 EX/GXs on the field, you could do 30 damage to each, but you could also choose to hit one of them multiple times for 30 damage each time. You can either spread...

Wailord & Magikarp GX. That or Gyarados & Goldeen GX.

Maybe Full Metal Wall will be focused on Metal and Fighting types?

Could also be a decent pivot in anything running rainbow en. Discarding special energy without a coin flip is part of Drampa's charm, so I definitely see people at least trying to make it work.

The Rainbow Rares wouldn't be so terrible imo if they actually did something with the regular full-art versions. I'm thoroughly sick of the generic "same color as the typing" patchwork pattern they have going on. They started making them interesting with the Ultra Beasts, but then continued the...

I love the dragon-type M-Blastoise. Should liven up the deck's matchups. Edit: sorry, it's just weak to fairy, who knows what new type it is?

Honestly Sophocles would def be a great draw replacement in Banette-GX. That's really not a terrible idea either; If you're going to need supporters in the discard anyway, using Sophocles to dump 2 Whitneys adds +30, lets you draw 4, and in the event you draw into another Whitney you're already...

So Fan Club will be the go-to replacement for your Basic GX-focused decks, but I def see Elm being the staple for any evolution-based deck. You can't search out your 70hp basics, but with Buzzwole taking a hit you'll probably be able to run the ≥60hp ones with less fear of an early knockout...

Not to mention they don't even have to be basic, so in some decks Elm is going to be even better. I know there aren't too many viable ones, but being able to search for evolved pokemon as an option already makes it better in evolution decks, IMO.

Well considering we're getting an Eevee-GX, they could do Tag-Teams in a similar manner to Megas: Making evolved pokemon tag-teams evolve from specific GX's

Whitney could be useful paired with Banette-GX. It's a supporter you actually plus off having in the discard, so it's an easy choice to discard vs other more situational ones like Guzma.

The Naganadel isn't too terrible either. It can only accelerate itself, but it can do some from anywhere whereas most Pokemon with similar abilities require another Pokemon to be in a specific spot. We have plenty of ways to move and rearrange energies too, so you could accelerate to Naga and...

Putting the energy into the lost zone isn't great yeah, but Blacephelon's GX attack is still a free prize card. You might not just straight-up take it like with Katarna, but it's a prize card nonetheless. Also, attacks that Burn for one energy become attacks that do guaranteed 60 dmg with the...

I don't think Lugia-GX is too bad. First attack isn't terrible and while 4 for 170 might not be the best when you can't use it the following turn, the gx attack is an auto-win against any deck that isn't able to set up a bench by turn 2.

Hyped for Life Forest, gives VikaBulu some extra ways to power through damage besides Aether Paradise. Also has anyone else noticed a particular trend with these grass pokemon, involving attacks that boost when healed and a multitude of grass-specific ways to heal damage? Also waiting on some...

Idk why everyone thinks Net Ball is meh when Mysterious Treasure is hailed as amazing. Net Ball = instant Golisopod/Lurantis/Decidueye/etc access with no cost, and if you happen to already have the Pokemon you want you can search for your energy attachment for your First Impression or whatever...

So, if I'm allowed to Acerola my only Pokemon to my hand at the cost of losing due to having no Pokemon in play, couldn't you use Shiftry-GX's GX attack to win by shuffling your opponent's sole Pokemon into their deck?

Yes, because you're only a real fan if you spend your entire life savings on each collectible you buy. Honestly, I hate people who rag on Pop! figures. They're cheap, they have a uniform aesthetic which means you can have a bunch of random ones on your shelf and they don't look wierd, and...
