Totally forgot about Blacephalon, I will add it to the list. I have been testing ADP (Arceus & Dialga & Palkia) a lot and don't have any issue playing against Gardeon because I play a one-of Lucario Melmetal that OHKOs them. I also play a tag call version so I can grab that and the Mallow &...

Anyone seen any updated tier list that includes Cosmic Eclipse? Trying to decide which cards to buy for my kids who play in juniors and seniors. Below is my current best guess. I'm sure I left out decks and probably have some that people might disagree with. Just my guess, and again I am...

Just to let everyone know, Walmart is still taking pre-orders on these. I tried about every other store and everywhere I went they were all sold out of the Ultra Necrozma GX version. Scooped up a few through Walmart, which show as arriving on October 3rd.

Trying to find these is near impossible. Everywhere I have tried is sold out. At $20 in US that is a steal. Jirachi is going for $38 alone right now.

It's very likely this rule will come to the rest of the world at some point, we just don't know the exact date. Dedenne GX prices have already shot to $40 and up because of this. Get ready for tons of donks and pretty much only basic teamup decks to be played. You just can't take the risk of...

I could see Chaotic Swell working well with Pikarom as Lysandre Labs isn't that crucial to the deck. Only issue is you would have to be very careful about placing it down if you haven't used Thunder Mountain. Other than that it could make for a great counter stadium, which is essentially what...

Yeah, my feeling was that both players went passed reasonable time for their actions. My disappointment wasn't so much in the fact that Shintaro was penalized, as I felt that was the appropriate action given the circumstances, but rather that in the previous matchup there was no warning issued...

Totally agree. Just saying that in Tord's situation he didn't do anything so it appears worse than the situation with Shintaro. As I noted above, I also am not suggesting Shintaro wasn't deserving of a penalty, only that I though that same decision should have been the case in Tord's situation...

I rewatched the video just to see if that is true, and Tord appears to do nothing other than shake his head for just under a minute trying to decide what to do. I'm not sure what you are seeing but the time stamps I showed above don't really reflect that. He has a clean 38 seconds without any...

Shintaro had received a warning for slow play in a previous match. Because those carry over in the same tournament the next occurrence would result in a 2 prize penalty. The judges did follow the rules in that sense, but the greater question is should a penalty have been issued at all. I...

True it's cheaper than Japan, but still not ideal. I did try to price it out, but couldn't get less than 1230 a person for that time of year, which is part of the issue. Times four for a family, add food, hotel, taxes, transportation, and any other fees and it stacks up quickly. Just bad...

Nice analysis. Surprising to see Gardevoir & Sylveon increase so much when it only had 5 decks in top 50 and placed 9th at highest spot. That seems like a little bit of an overreaction when the staples (Pikarom/Reshizard) performed better and took up much more of the top 50 (11 Pikarom/12...

Obviously it was disappointing for many people to see how the finals played out with the 2 prize penalty costing Shintaro a game he very likely would have won. The real question is whether or not the penalty was justified. Because Shintaro had been previously warned of slow play that day a 2...

I have to say I was disappointed by London. My son nearly has an invite to world's in juniors and my daughter would also have been able to go as well based on current points. For a family of 4 the cost for us to go there from the US would be about $8000, which we can't afford. Kids were...

No Daytona? That sucks. That was the only regional anywhere near people who live in FL, which is a huge part of the Pokémon community. From what I saw it was the #1 state when someone took a look at where top Pokémon players live.

Not sure if you got your answers or not, but I have been working on Pikarom since my son (Jr league) and daughter (Sr league) play competitively. The question really is how much will they have to deal with some of the threats Masters have to deal with. For example, most post-rotation Pikarom...

They synergy with that Raichu and Alolan Raichu and Pikarom is going to be interesting, especially post rotation. Turn 1 Pikarom energy accelerate to Raichu/Alolan Raichu and a few energy switch turn 2 get you 250 dmg. Plus shelters your tag team in a format with no Guzma...

@ronangorski is that list confirmed or just speculation? I have seen some of the cards on that list (i.e. cherish ball) mentioned, but never confirmed as coming to Unified Minds.

I fell like Power Plant is a must in this deck. Toughest matchups are Pikarom/Reshizard because of their ability to accelerate. Shutting down Tapu Lele/Dedenne/Zoroark/Zeraorah and maybe even Whimsicott right now is a big help. You could probably lose the Pal Pad as you rarely have games long...

Does the Tapu Lele GX Tropical Islands box set not count as a reprint? I remember it being in those with a different art but am not sure if it is separate or not.
