I'm surprised we aren't GUSHING over Torandus VMAX. It has all the tricks that Urshifu VMAX has with strengths and weaknesses.
Pros:
You can use Powerful colorless energy
You aren't forced to discard all of energy, which imo is alot harder to recharge than putting up another stadium.
You...
I would definitely argue the game is super super cheap right now. Most of your staple cards are avaible in a 29.99 tool kit. And most of the top tier decks are avaible in battle boxes, Pikarom and ADP. Just looked up Dedenne-GX and that is going for around $2 right now.
As I was about to type...
I proxied it and played 2 games with it last night. If people want to go the stand alone route, memory capsule is really good for Blaziken VMAX
In terms of the card itself, I see it being a great tech pokemon in Urshifu VMAX and create this somewhat Rapid Strike Box hitting for multiple weaknesses.
OMG ALL THESE CARDS ARE AMAZING!!!
Zapdos seems super busted. A good portion of the time you'll be attacking for one energy.
But can we talk about how good that Single Strike Urshifu is! This is an amazing single prize deck that has perfect synergy with Houndoom. Being able to hit 220-240 per...
The new Venusaur VMAX. You won't even need to attach to Venusaur VMAX. Just spread the energy out on the field and use Energy Switch. And you can also abuse that new Cheryl Card for some tanking
While not a fundamental change, it would be a breath of fresh air for stage 2 pokemon and it is something that they can still implement.
-A good majority stage 1 evolving pokemon have the ability "signs of an evolution" Where you can evolve your stage 2 immediately after the stage 1. This...
Collectors are going to have the time of their lives with these.
As a player. no to all of them. Unless the other ones are going to have an amazing ability they all are going to bad if this is the direction they are going to go for energy cost
I would say stage 2s are as consistent as they've been in a long time. Issue though is that the majority of them are just bad attackers even without the power difference between Vs and stage 2s. For them to be "good" they have to some gimmick ability/attack...aka Obstagoon
Hey Dark Espeon,
Some minor changes we can make from this draft.
We can up the number of Hide Energy to run 4 because Pierrs allows us to search for ANY energy and not limited to basic. Also a capture energy would help out with getting our basic out on the field without wasting a resource...
These cards revealed are all amazing!!
Houndoom V- shrine+Heatran is probably the best we have at the moment, not worth it though. Still going to buy one because I love Houndoom
Dreadnaw V/VMAX- A coinflip with 240. We're already 2HKOing VMAXs with Inteleon and Lapras. I'd rather play Inteleon...
As crownaxe said, we have a new set coming out which is going to cause a huge metagame shift when it's revealed. It's very hard to think about post rotation without considering that we'll be in a more VMAX focused metagame.
