    Pokemon Day Preview Teases Tera Ogerpon ex, Tera Greninja ex, and Eevee Illustration Rare!

    Pokemon Day news: TCG Pocket is announced on the presentation for PKMND! But since it looks like custom cards... Unless the real sets are introduced, not likely a TCG Live replacement... :( On-topic: Wish the Tera Ogerpon ex is good. To most competitive players, artwork alone means nothing...

    Infernape Line, Pinsir, and New Illustration Rares Revealed from “Crimson Haze!”

    Hmm... That infernape... Poor man's garganacl in Raging bolt at best: As it's easier to have energy in discard or deck, I'm afraid that this Infernape is outclassed by Garganacl, Sada's vitality, and turbo energize. Worse yet, stage 2... Garganacl may also be a stage 2, but Bibarel, Skwovet...

    Standard Post-Rotation: Future Prism (Iron Valiant ex / Iron Crown ex / Miraidon / Xatu)

    But if you use 2 valiant, there's only 1 available spot on bench, assuming 3 crown as well... Is 280 per turn ok in this meta? If yes, then I apologize, as I thought people use 300+ hp pokemon in meta. Even then, 280 damage is "2RKO by damage-then-devolution" territory... Is that what you are...

    Standard Post-Rotation: Future Prism (Iron Valiant ex / Iron Crown ex / Miraidon / Xatu)

    Nice deck, but 3 iron crowns leave you with no room for all your basics on Bench. ^ If you plan to attack on your 2nd turn, you might not have any bench room to do Bits and be able to attack w/ 2 psychics and 1 colorless needed to do so w/ Valiant. If you want to do more than 280 AND KO...

    “Mask of Change” Releasing in April Featuring Ogerpon ex; New Ogerpon, Charizard, and Chien-Pao TCG Products!

    If the masks are ace specs, Opergon will be more vulnerable to lost vacuum than if the masks were not ace spec masks: lost zone means out for game, and if Opergon base is not as strong as masked... :(

    About your post: One, EXes are today's Pokemon-Vs sans the once-per-game powers that Vstars have. EXes don't evolve? Look at Mega-EXes: Mega-EXes came in XY after the generation EXes were introduced. Unlike VMAXes, EXes/Mega-EXes give two prize cards post-KO! Two, Pokemon-exes are GXes w/o the...

    Fruit stripe is not the only product that low sales killed off: It happens to every product that sells at prices lower than MSRP and still doesn't sell. B&B stadiums and post release pokemon tcg prerelease promos are now discontinued by the manufacturer, as stores had to discount them, to little...

    Hero’s Cape ACE SPEC Revealed from “Cyber Judge!”

    Great. More StallLax tools... ...Any form of Luxorious Cape w/o the 2 prize drawback benefits StallLax by putting it out of Minior 1HKO range w/o Mawile LOR, and emboldens the ban callers even more... But if anyone is enraged over not being able to retreat w/o trainers such as switches, then...

    Discussion Nintendo updated appropriate content guidelines and tournament guidelines. Any impressions?

    1. Nintendo network content guidelines 2. Nintendo tournament guidelines ^ I believe this is a big deal to Play! Pokemon tournaments, as well as Smash tournaments, as they typically go over 200 people offline, so I think Nintnedo, unless the regulations do not apply to "sanctioned by Nintendo"...

    Treasures of Ruin Cards, New Evolution / Devolution Technical Machines Revealed from SV4!

    ...Not to mention, to add to the above point, the devolution TM is more dehabilitating to Evolution decks as a whole. In decks that run Kirlia for draw, a minimum of 6 counters on stage 1s everywhere, will virtually end the game by prize count unless one of those stage 1s have gone stage 2, at...

    Treasures of Ruin Cards, New Evolution / Devolution Technical Machines Revealed from SV4!

    Nice way to change up stage 2s for those going second. Thanks, TM Evolution tool card! Turn 2 going first is now equalized by means of the second going player needing the stage 1 from deck on the turn 2(turn 1 going second)attack, then if they need to go stage 2, no more needing the candy...

    Gholdengo ex and Gimmighoul Illustration Rares, Jirachi, and More from “Raging Surf!”

    But does it only work if they have energy attached? Are you talking about Toedscool ex? Plus, jirachi's usefulness? Not a total heel to the decks you may think it counters, but it still could be a slight annoyance, as the notables can adapt to counter ability, as demonstrated by the following...

    Paradox Pokemon Cards and Return of ACE SPEC Mechanic Revealed at Worlds!

    About brute bonnet: If booster energy is like the VG and is discarded after one use, then paldean closure ex won't be supplanted by anything better here... Scream Tail: Saguaro increases the max damage to 260, but Damage pump is also an option to move an odd counter to allow ST to reach the...

    Paradise Resort Promo Revealed for Worlds!

    Good art for a "trophy" promo. By trophy promo, I mean a card given out to the top 32 or so, but useless beyond the handout post-accomplishment. What a way to reduce scalping in the case of cards that are powerful, but limited to one event, like Tropical Beach. By printing a useless card for...

    Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare and More “Obsidian Flames” Cards Revealed!

    Wait until pokemon card 151's release if you want a better 'Zard, as one 340(base 330 + vitality band 10) active nuke powered up by a stage 2 on same evo line that you only need one of in play, outside of said 340 nuker, is better than waiting until the late game to do big damage. Ryme is only...

    Rigid Band, Parasect from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    Rigid band? Is it perfect for a Gyarados ex combined w/ Baxcalibur energy binging plus hawlucha bench damage placing and radiant alakazam damage moving hawlucha's placed counters to opposing active? ^ If so, gyarados ex, the stage 1 ex with the highest hp amongst all stage 1s so far, just got...

    Dragonite, Hitmonlee, and Dodrio from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    Uhh... Without an hp boost from an ability(the only one at this time that's more easily done in near-term standard-legal territory and ups hp is ASR kricketune, but as dodrio's not a grass type, it's unaffected by that ability) or tool (the only one that ups hp and is also in near-term...

    Discussion "Obsidian Flames" Partial Set List

    Either that, or add an ability that allows it to evolve into Clefairy. The last thing I want is to see an errata making Clefairy a stage 1 that evolves from Cleffa instead of a basic, as that nerfs the moon watching party Clefairy deck...

    “ex Battle Decks” Featuring Chien-Pao ex and Tinkaton ex in July!

    If Baxcalibur is in set, but not Chien-Pao-ex, could Gyarados-ex be an alt partner until chien-pao-ex is eventually released? I heard of blastoise vmax being gyarados-ex's partner in crime next to origin forme palkia vstar...
