Hidden Fats is a "special set" that is only available through buying products which contain it. Unless a store specifically buys those products (Trainer Boxes, Gift Sets, etc.) to open them up and sell the contents separately, you'll never find individual boosters of them, let alone be able to...

Might as well address all the changes, even those we've long since known were coming: Expanded is a problem: Yeah, nothing was said about it but a lot of these things are issues because of Expanded and poor planning for it. Maybe it needs to rotate, or maybe they need to plan ahead better...

To give you an idea, @ATMandeville here is a scan of the real card from the official database at pokemon.com: I can't make out finer details, but from what I can see, the card's name, Energy requirements, and Resistance are clearly wrong. I'm no expert on error cards versus counterfeits...

@SushiAngel I'm going to answer the question as well. 99.9% of what @snoopy369 says is correct; if you're not worried about understanding in more detail, or you find my answer confusing, feel free to ignore it and we'll cross that 0.1% bridge if/when you ever come to it. :) Mewtwo & Mew-GX's...

Power creep isn't all bad; there's an assumption that the current "power level" of the game is correct, but that isn't always the case. Keeping in mind I think there have always been balance issues in the Pokémon TCG, I actually think HP scores need to be higher. It gives the powers-that-be...

So... yeah, part of my problem was I got my Milotic mixed up; I was thinking of PRC and not FLF. With that clarified, this scenario seems to be an issue because of Gengar & Mimikyu-GX's "Horror House-GX" attack Ace Trainer acting like Prizes are an accurate measure of who is winning... New T1...

@jamashawalker I am more optimistic about wanting to run Evolutions post Sword & Shield, though more due to Evolution Incense than Quick Ball. If the reports out of Japan I am hearing are correct, I (probably) wasn't giving raw draw power enough credit for making Quick Ball as important as it...

Is Milotic (FLF) already causing problems, or is that in anticipation of the rule change, @Merovingian ? Wobbuffet (PHF) I can definitely see getting banned. While it still requires Player 2 is fortunate enough to open with it, its T1 Ability denial at a time when that should be a lot more...

I've seen some ADP lists run it, but they tend to place lower than those which ran without N's Resolve.

So, do I keep giving examples where "might" and "almost certainly" are clearly different in their meaning, and where one would be foolish to treat them as being the same, until you're willing to recognize it? Or do I take your statement and re-frame it as you finally agreeing with me, as "about...

No worries, you're not being rude. My big concern is that I have been rude, and derailing your thread. XP This is going to be a bit long, but you reminded me of something I was an idiot for not mentioning sooner. First, you saw this, right? When we began this discussion - and for some time...

@CrownAxe Are you more excited if you find out your boss might give you a raise or almost certainly will give you a raise? If it still isn't clear, then it might be time to call it quits with respect to this discussion (between you and me). Besides not communicating clearly, I'm no longer...

Sometimes you quote me but you almost always include your take on what I said... even when your paraphrase contradicts what you're quoting. Like that. If you're still convinced you're accurately understanding and repeating what I've said, then it is probably time to stop. I mean, I'm not...

For the record... I rarely use emoji, and hate the ones on this board. I use old school emoticons. You know, semi-colon followed by close parenthesis. PokéBeach is changing them on its own. If anyone reading this wants to PM me how to disable that without disabling Rich Text all together, let...

Here we agree. Here we do not. Let's correct that premise; if I said it wrong earlier, I apologize. It is not that Wally could be broken eventually, it is that it might already be broken without us even realizing it, and that sooner or later, it will be broken again. Wally was designed for...

@CrownAxe I need to keep this short, because I think the biggest communication issue we're experiencing is the point being lost in a big paragraph, but I can't. Let's start with a correction: I caught a small but significant Typo in my post (corrected it now): now reads I don't think that...

Okay, let's get into more detail now that I can spare a little more time for this discussion: In general, it is important to remember that Cards are rarely banned for a single reason. Even if it was for a single reason, you have to ask how likely that situation is to occur in the future. The...

The new rule will likely make T2 (Player 2's first turn) usage with the banned Supporters nearly as potent as T1 usage, so I don't think they're coming off the Ban List.

Nope. Channeler lets you remove all effects of attacks and only attacks on you and each of your Pokémon. Keldeo-GX is protected by its Ability, "Pure Heart".

I want to clear up the confusion, @jamashawalker but I also want to keep things concise. That ain't happening, but now things will be... messy. >.> To accurately diagnose the current Standard Format, you have to understand that this game has never been properly balanced. Always remember that...
