Neither. The Pokémon Rulings Compendium has been a reference for official PTCG rulings since the days of Wizards of the Coast running the game. They compile rulings from other, official sources for easy reference. Eventually, members of "Team Compendium" (the people who own/operate the site)...

Yup. Another to remember is PokéGym, specifically the Rulings Compendium. The short version is that at least some of the people who own/operate the 'Gym are part of the English Rules Team. They compile official rules, and are authorized to give them due to this relationship (you can submit...

Pardon me as I'm about to get long winded, as the question is already answered, but there's some other stuff you might want to know about getting into Pokémon. There is a long section about how you might want to ease into the game, but I'll put it behind spoiler tags. Aye. That Hoopa-EX...

From page 20 of the rule book: Full details of attacking For most attacks, the order in which you do things doesn’t really matter. However, for a complicated attack, here are the full steps: A) Look at your Pokémon and decide which attack to use. Make sure you have the correct Energy...

Pity they never accepted that the Theme Format should be a real, planned part of the physical TCG instead. A way for younger players to more easily enter competitive play, and a way for busy players (like adults) to keep playing without having to stay fresh with a more complicated Standard or...

I don't mess with physical packs, but as no one else has answered, the last I knew was that it was extremely difficult (maybe not even possible) to gain any useful information from weighing packs of cards anymore. The card with the redemption code for the PTCGO is - I think - different...

Just tried both codes, and they still worked! So, give it a go and keep everyone else up to date. :)

Not the same thing, but when Oranguru first started seeing play, didn't a few actually combo it with Looker? I mean, a few that actually saw at least a little success? I mean, that was when Oranguru was new, so it doesn't really count at present. Still, if I'm wrong about the past, it is good...

Thanks. First time I've ever heard it used that way. ;)

Pardon me for being thick, can you clarify what you mean by "next format"? The 2022 Standard Format will almost certainly be Sword & Shield-On, so neither of those decks will exist as we know them, as they'll lose their TAG TEAM cards.

I'd like to think the person who designed Lysandre's Trump Card and pushed for it to be released alongside VS Seeker - and in a cardpool that already had Pal Pad - was finally given another chance to design a card after five years of being on probation, is responsible for this.

Warning: I'm going to get long-winded again, because I think attempts at one-upping each other with quips is distracting from the actual discussion. The short version is, while some may indeed be upset their copies of Shaymin-EX (ROS) have lost most of their value, that does not mean people are...

@CardPone It appears I was unclear with my criticism. I mean that quite literally. My bullet points were mostly a stream of consciousness instead of a proper list. My apologies. I agree with the idea that there should be a unifying term for specialty Pokémon, as I (like many others) have...

I appreciate the thought, but "Special Pokémon" is probably not a good choice. Why? Special could easily include Prism Star Pokémon, Pokémon BREAK, maybe even Ultra Beasts. You know, any specialty mechanics. Multi-Prize Pokémon is a bit cumbersome, but not too bad compared to what is already...

I concur. I will add that it is probably time to come up with a catch-all heading for multi-Prize Pokémon. A blanket errata for all past effects - counters or support - which reference Pokémon-EX, Pokémon-GX, and/or Pokémon V with the new, unifying term. Maybe it needs to actually be...

What has got you excited for Pokemon TCG in 2021 ? May as well get it out of the way: It won't be 2020 anymore! ;)

The official Pokémon.com website contains no cards released under Wizards of the Coast, and the first card I saw in your link was a Reverse Holo Charmander from The Legendary Collection, a set released under WotC. WotC originally licensed the Pokémon TCG to release it outside of Japan, but in...

The question is "How valuable is a slot in my deck?" Remember that Pokémon is a TCG without a Side Board (Side Deck), so counters are included in your main deck. Four slots for making your deck slightly more reliable, versus running counters for problem matchups, redundant copies of key cards...

You mean Swoobat (SM - Cosmic Eclipse 88/236)? I don't think it is a very good combo. Swoobat's attack is [P] Charming Stamp Your opponent chooses 1 of their own Pokémon. This attack does 90 damage to that Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) You do not choose...

You're missing the point, @ Daryl Bauer II. I wasn't even worrying about the odds of getting Sabrina & Brycen in hand. I'm stressing how your hand has to be expendable. With something like Professor's Research, you're only in trouble if you have something you need to use in hand before using...
