Skyla was already a card for quite a while before it was reprinted in BREAKthrough, and it saw tons of play back when it first released. Hard to call that a card people didn't think would be good...

It's nice to know that the Stadium has a built-in protection against Field Blower, but it can easily be replaced by a counter-Stadium. Fortunately, there might not be too many popular Stadium cards in next season's Standard format, although Brooklet Hill will undoubtedly remain popular in...

If you go back and read some of the Pokebeach comments on the article first revealing Gardevoir-GX, you'd be surprised how many people dismissed it outright. "It's a Stage 2 - it'll never be consistent enough" "Its attack only does 30 damage from every Energy" Of course, there were some even in...

I think Wailord-EX is a pretty good example of this - everyone was so focused on its awful Ability/attack that they didn't account for how significant its bulk was. It wasn't until the Wailord stall deck broke out at 2015 US Nationals that people realized how oppressive it could be, and it's...

I guess it goes without saying that the Fighting variant of Garchomp is much better than Dragon, since it can take advantage of Brooklet Hill, Strong Energy, Diancie Prism, etc., but considering some of those Fighting buffs aren't very budget-friendly... we'll work with this for now First, I...

Well, I was pretty convinced they were going to use the “GX evolving into GX” with Poipole/Naganadel, so this isn’t THAT surprising to me. Still, a GX with presumably low HP with a Fighting weakness is just asking for a punch to the face :/

Hate to be *that guy*, but if you take a look at the three prospective lists on this thread, all of them end in 184 total cards in Celestial Storm (including Secret Rares). Unfortunately, this would put it at just two cards shy of the actual largest set in TCG history, Aquapolis, at 186 cards...

Why did I never realize that Eevee-FLI was a reprint?! LOL Also, today's reveal of FA Lisia pretty much disproves FA Fisherman - if Steven's Decision is 102 and Lisia is 104, there's only one Full Art in between, and I'd much rather bet on Tate & Liza than Fisherman haha *headdesk*

FWIW Here's what I've got currently - in all, it's pretty similar to what's already been provided, but I've made a few additions that I feel are pretty likely: Granted, as always, these lists will be nothing but conjecture until the first English card is revealed, at which point I look...

I can't help but wonder if they'll randomly stick the Eevee from Japan's FLI set into Celestial Storm - it wouldn't really connect at all with anything in the set, but if they're presumably including Lady-FA, why not the other card that got left out of our last English set? Also, I'm thinking...

If my counts are right between SM7 and Champion's Road so far, there are going to be some weird overlaps on Basic Pokemon. Namely, there would be three separate versions of both Torchic and Bagon. Obviously this isn't the first time we've had three different versions of the same Pokemon in a...

Huh, looks like @jessalakasam was right that there would be one more GX in SM7 than I figured. I guess that means we can all look forward to some kind of Mr. Mime promotional box! *cue nervous laughter*

All right - here's the most optimal use for Jirachi Prism in three easy steps: 1) Whittle your hand down so Jirachi Prism is the only card in your hand 2) Bait your opponent to use Lighting GX with Xurkitree-GX - they'll be forced to add Jirachi Prism to your Prizes 3) KO the Xurkitree - you'll...

"Mr. Mime GX Collection" ...Well, I'm sure there are less marketable Pokemon than Mime out there, but I'm not sure I can see that happening personally XD

Also, with the reveal of Altaria, we should know the 11 GXs for our Celestial Storm set: Blaziken, Articuno, Electrode, Mr. Mime (x2), Banette, Scizor, Stakataka, Altaria, Salamence, Rayquaza I suppose the only real question at this point is whether the two versions of Mr. Mime are supposed to...

First thoughts: -I think Blaziken could see more success in Expanded than Standard, since Blacksmith helps offset the discard cost and there are a lot more consistency options to get Stage-2s into play. That second attack (when paired with Choice Band) is an OHKO on practically anything...

I think the first attack on Altaria is supposed to prevent damage from Pokemon-GX and Pokemon-EX (at least, the EX symbol appears in the card text, so that's my assumption)

Well, there goes all the mystery of what 3 UBs would be in our Celestial Storm set... haha

List: Pokemon - 16 4 Trubbish 3 Garbodor-GRI (Trashalanche) 1 Garbodor-BKP (Garbotoxin) 3 Noibat-FBL 1 Eevee 1 Espeon-GX 3 Tapu Lele-GX Trainers - 34 4 Professor Sycamore 2 Cynthia 3 N 2 Brigette 3 Guzma 4 Ultra Ball 3 Mysterious Treasure 1 Field Blower 1 Enhanced Hammer 1 Super Rod 1 Rescue...

As a follow-up, I think this teaser is probably implying that the Wailord line will return in SM7 - it fits with the Hoenn theme, and is usually known for having ridiculously high HP
