I want a Lopunny EX and M Lopunny EX. Also want a Pinsir EX and M Pinsir EX. Cofagrigus EX or BREAK would look awesome.

Oh man, imagine Mega Rayquaza as the battle partner in doubles, and basically getting a free multiscale.

Super helpful! Thanks so much!

Super helpful! Thanks! I've played Nightmarch before, and while it does consistently win matches, I didn't like the playstyle all that much. I really like your tips about the Sableye deck. Are there any other similar decks?

Have to push back a little on this. Absol pokedex description: "It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger." It's actually trying to warn people of danger, and is thus benevolent. It is the fact that people misunderstanding the meaning of its...

Well, not all dark types are necessarily evil, or have that as their "schtick" Absol comes to mind, but there are other examples too. Plus, there are certainly ways around it. I think a dark / fairy type for a moon themed legend would have been interesting

Doubtful. I think Resistance Blizzard benefits the user (as opposed to disadvantaging the opponent).

Fair enough. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of different tiers. All the Psychic-Steels you mentioned would not be in the uber tier, and as the mascot legend, Solgaleo would probably have stats that put it in the uber tier. My gut reaction was that Psychic/Steel would be a fun...

After reading how you contrast Charizard and Litten, I'm a bit more on board with the fire/ground type. Curious though - how familiar are you with kanji? The extra extension of the lower end of center line actually makes a word of a difference, and would be an entirely different kanji. In...

Since Fairy was just introduced last gen, I'm guessing they'll take this chance to make more dual type fairies. Would love to see ghost/fairy and dark/fairy. Fighting/fairy seems like it would be amusing. Ground/fairy would be interesting from a defensive standpoint.

Good point. Plus, to be fair, pokedex entries generally aren't indicative of gameplay or storyline. For example, in Diamond & Pearl there was (unfortunately) never a plot of saving children from drifloons trying to steal away little kids.

Wonder what its pokedex blurb says - do we have a a translation of that? Would be cool if it gave us little hints of what to expect in Sun/Moon.

Not too thrilled with the possibility of Fire/Ground. Would much prefer Fire/Dark. All the possible combinations for Rowlet and Popplio are okay by me. What are the chances GF trolls us with another Fire/Fighting with Litten?

So if all my Pokemon faint, and I want to keep battling, whats the in-game explanation going to be for not allowing me to throw my Pokedex at the opponent's Pokemon and keep battling with Rotom? Also, will we be able to actually get a playable Rotom in this form? Maybe aside from the lawn...

I'm not at all upset that Solgaleo didn't end up being a fire type. If anything I'm a bit impressed that GF avoided the cliche route of Fire or Fire/Psychic (seems like they like to slap Psychic on every legend). Should make for an interesting party member in battles!

Would be amusing if there was a Pokemon weak to type A and had resistance to type B, and went up a against an A & B duel type Pokemon

Hello! I recently got into Pokemon TCG, and have been steadily building a nice collection of cards from the standard format (basically everything X&Y and beyond at the time of writing this). From browsing the articles and forums here on Pokebeach, I've become interested in trying things out in...

Ah, interesting! Thanks for the explanation!

Hello! I am new to Pokemon TCG, and have been slowing getting better by playing on TCGO. Your article really made me interested in the unlimited and legacy formats. I had a question though - your article mentioned that: "Now, remember, codes are no longer obtainable for any set...
