Volcanion is for its Steam Up ability to put the Basic Fire Energy in the discard for Mega Turbo use... I don't see why or how Evolution Jammer Banette would be more useful... Other than that I agree, you do need at least 1 more N or Sycamore for consistency, and 4 Spirit Link to soften the blow...
Sableye is a new Exeggutor (Plasma Freeze 5/116). Exeggutor did do 10 damage, but it was an evolution and 10 damage is negligible when you can have 2-3 Decidueye sniping. Along with Vileplume shutting items off, it's going to be a nasty combo. (That I will probably play.)
Now that you mention it, I can see that. However, both of these cards saw and/or still see competitive play so that could be cool to see. Still wish Fini would have a GX, as it is my favorite of the 4. :/
That's kind of silly. It just doesn't really make any sense, include 3 of the 4 Tapus and neglect the other one completely. But who knows, they might surprise us.
At least this set will actually have another staple card, been waiting a while for something like that.
Additionally, remove Hard Charm completely. It will not be legal next season, as it is from XY Base. I suggest making it 3 Team Rocket's Handiwork instead of 2, +1 Crushing Hammer, and +1 Lysandre.
Anyone else have this guy pop into their mind when they saw "Gumshoos"? I thought that was a neat little reference to Pheonix Wright. :p (Dick Gumshoe from Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney)
These things look sweet! Glad to see Dark and Steel (and I guess Fairy energies as well) energies in the classic energy format. I've always been a fan of the design.
Thank you for the input and suggestions! I had no Ninja Boy because this, for the most part, was just a first thought list, with the intention of editing it from further brainstorming and suggestions from other people.
It is entirely possible to make a functioning deck without Shaymin-EX and/or Hoopa-EX, like you said. It would just be a little more inconsistent in setting up. I don't actually run and Hoopa-EX in mine and it works just as well. (Congrats to your friend by the way!)
At least it's a decent and cool looking card. It's like MegaMan, but not as good. I guess they both have their pros and cons, however.
This could be paired with Volcanion-EX and Flareon-EX for a very nice and efficient combination. You could be doing 80+ damage each turn, depending on how many...
