Perfect Fit sleeves are primarily used for collectors or even players looking to add an extra layer of protection to their cards. Their tight fit is excellent for keeping out moisture and dust, which standard sleeves cannot do to nearly the same effect. The only major disadvantage is that they...

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread In the current format, transferring Pokemon from past gens for use in tournaments would be against the rules because such Pokemon would not be bread, born, or received via mystery gift in a Gen 6 game this can be checked by seeing if the...

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread At the moment no. However, next season's rules WILL require players to use ORAS carts for play. EDIT: Actually, you can transfer Pokemon onto ORAS for the sake of teaching them tutor moves, and then transfer them back. That would be a valid...

Do keep in mind that what you read currently is merely a translation of the Japanese text, which may have different language rulings associated with it. Cards with similarly targeted effects have been translated with that same "that was hit by this attack" clause have been translated before, and...

The current translation seems to imply that you are only allowed to attack twice, and nothing more. It does not act like a skip-your-opponent's-turn effect. That said, it is never wise to comment adamantly on how cards work before the English translation comes around. We'll see for sure in a...

The point of Memory Shrine (the stadium card in question) is as a replacement to Celebi-EX, which will be going out of format in the next rotation. The have the same effects. Celebi-EX, while not used very much, did have sparing roles in some decks, including as a means of allowing certain...

I love this set so much. It set has everything we've been asking for for so long: Playable Stage 1s and 2s (and a healthy lack of unplayable ones based on the current translations) New, interesting mechanic via Ancient Traits (which, while they're not very varied, are more intricate in effect...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Nov. 2014 - Team M's/A's Pokemon I would rather do something simple this month. No wacky restrictions. How about a favorite Pokemon contest? That way, everyone's happy.

Just got my first shiny in my time machine hunt (Check my post above)! Very excited, but not sure what to turn it into. Obviously, I could do a Camerupt, but the problem is that the un-inherited stat would be defense, with an IV of just 18 (which could cause some issues). The nice thing is that...

When posting deck lists, especially in the Deck Garage forum, use (in the title) the prefix refers to the format to which the deck adheres. Generally speaking, you build a deck explicitly with a format in mind (usually the Standard format, at the time of posting BCR-on). But if you happen to...

Wailord has 250HP. Thank you TPCi. (And no, it's not overpowered. Because it's attack is terrible, and it takes way to long to power up.) Trevenant-EX is very welcome. It may see tech play in Virizion/Genesect decks, but I think it will be more useful in Aromatisse decks for it's ability to...

RE: Can someone explain all the Prefixes please The -on terms typically refer to the standard competitive play formats used each year. For each season, only a certain selection of recent TCG sets is allowed to be used in tournaments. To keep these sets fresh recent, the oldest ~3-5 sets in the...

Hi. I started doing digital art for the Create-a-Card contest done in the Fan Fakes forum. Here is some of the art I have produced for my entries into that contest (Oldest to Newest): If there is sufficient interest, I can post a guide on how I make these. It's not a difficult...

RE: PokéBeach Create-A-Card: Nov. 2014 - Team M's/A's Pokemon Here's my entry: You can view the raw art used for the card here. And if I may ask, what does everyone think of my artwork? How can I improve it? For me, the main point of doing image-based entries is to produce an...

The value is all in the difficulty of acquiring something. Anyone could clone a million copies of an event (or even just generate them in the generation 5 games) and distribute them, and suddenly they're worthless. Not only by the law of supply and demand, but also because, for many people...

I do not have the games, but I can confirm that only 3 Pokemon are allowed in standard single battles (as in, the default ruleset used for online play, as well as the battle subway and maison). 4 are allowed for Doubles, and 6 for Triples/Rotation. There is probably also an option to use less...

RE: The Competitive Battling Simple Questions Thread Short Answer: Yes. Just as with all competitive Pokemon battling, having perfect IVs and a well though out EV spread is very important when playing because it prevents you from being disadvantaged against people who do. It is far more...

As I feel it's best put, "When you clone a Pokemon, you no longer have an original and a copy. You just have two clones." You can just as well hack an identical copy of an event (as people frequently do). The only Pokemon with value to a collector is a legitimate, original event, with...

Actually, the errata is in place to prevent that effect. With the original language of the card, this would be the case. The errata uses the language "Active Pokemon" now over the previous "Defending Pokemon". As for Jamming net, it primarily fixed the rather rare special case of self-damage...

Most people who collect events simply trade for legitimate ones if they cannot obtain one themselves. Cloned event Pokemon are generally given almost no value whatsoever. Only those with strong evidence of legitimacy (and there are many forms of this) actually fetch anything. And of course, no...
