    Discussion Anti-Meta Techs/Advice for Raikou/Eels

    Heya! I've been playing Raikou/Eels quite a bit online recently and I'm really loving its ability to go toe-to-toe with a lot of decks out there. I may get a chance to play in an actual tournament soon, but I unfortunately don't have much knowledge or experience with Expanded tournament meta and...

    Trevenant BREAK

    I think Trevenant needs some sort of tool removal, like Xerosic and/or Megaphone. Fighting Fury Belts in particular give them at least one extra turn against Silent Fear, and Garbodor stops the item lock.

    Ruling Does moving/removing damage counters count as healing?

    Heya! With the new Altaria EX coming out, I wanted to see if there was anything cool that could pair with it. There are a couple Pokemon that came out recently with a similar clause to Altaria's first attack, so until we get the official English wording, I'll just use Xerneas for now. This...

    Discussion Are double Stage 2 decks viable?

    Based on the reactions I often see regarding Stage 2 cards, I figure there's a very good chance the answer is an obvious "no, it's way too clunky", but one thing stood out to me in particular about the idea that made me go "wait, but what if...": Maxed out Rare Candy. The only Stage 2 cards...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    I'm really wondering if that Delphox can be consistent/fast enough to be good. XY Delphox + the BREAK would basically be the ultimate bench sitter, and Delphox's second attack makes Evil Ball look like a pea shooter. I REALLY want this to work out ;_;

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    I love the art on this and I'm super excited for the full art! Kingdra is one of my favorites. Magnezone/Raikou would probably be the best fit for this guy. Even if one Kingdra gets KO'd by an Yveltal/Mewtwo/Lugia, all it'd take is a Fisherman and a Muscle Band/Water Energy to have another one...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    If this the same Zygarde EX that's going into Fates Collide, I hope that means Carbink Break and Regirock EX are goin in it too! There're still 2 BREAKS and 5-6 EXes unaccounted for for the western release (Or 3 if M Audino is the third mega, and Diancie EX gets integrated too). That'd leave 1...

    What Supporter effects would you like to see/ return?

    Some I'd REALLY like to see would be: Pokemon Breeder: Until the end of your turn, each of your Pokemon can evolve even if they came into play this turn. Tate and Liza: Look at the top 6 cards of your deck, choose 3 of them, and put them into your hand. Put the other 3 on the bottom of your...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    That N art omg... The Zorua! I'm in love... And with it being from a side deck I can't complain about it being out of place now. There haven't been any B/W Supporter reprints in the main Japanese XY sets, just in side products based on popular demand (Skyla) that got grandfathered into our sets...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Yes!!! I was hoping they'd do a Colorless -> Fairy M Altaria! How good is it though? It seems like it's a weaker, but tankier alternative to M Gardevoir's high-risk, high-reward strategy. I can see it potentially being a fun prize denial deck with Whimsicott, using maybe Jynx or Sylveon EX or...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Ooh! I love this artwork! This looks like a new artist too, I don't recognize the name. Without some good non-water non-fighting fossils, this card is kinda useless though. Cradily is the only one that doesnt have Maxie, Archie, or Fossil Researcher to help get it in play, and the Stage 2's in...

    Discussion Trevenant BREAK Discussion Thread

    I've recently started playing this and it's probably the most fun I've had this format. I love spread decks! I like using Espeon EX as a 1-of, as it can cause some havoc for Mega decks with Startling Megaphone, and you can easily put enough damage on Non-mega evolutions to take multiple KOs at...

    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    When N was first rotated, I jumped for joy. It was nice being able to plan a few turns in advance based on what was in my hand, and N-to-1's sucked a lot. But after a while, I kind of missed the times where I'd get shuffled out of bad hands during the first few turns of the game. N felt like a...

    That Mew has free retreat.... UH OH. Also I can't wait to see the art for N, I love when they do new art for supporters instead of reusing the game/concept artwork

    Discussion Landorus/Bats: How to deal with Archeops?

    Try Jirachi EX and Ghetsis? I remember seeing Ghetsis splashed into some Regionals decks to counter the rampant Blastoise decks. If you can get rid of all their items on the first turn, it really hurts their chances of getting out a T1 Maxie. It might even pose a double threat to Night March...

    "Let's see, since Espeon EX is almost unplayable, let's just give both of Umbreon EX's attacks super useful effects to make up for it."

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    Who's ready for the inevitable Darkrai EX/Malamar EX decks because I sure am Edit: Also I wonder if that Kricketot will be used at all for Teammates/Ace Trainer fodder and to grab an entire Stage 2 evolution line to FGP evolve the next turn. Hm!

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    I am SO excited for that Garchomp!! It can be Maxied AND Korrina/Rare Candied, and there's plenty of ways to boost fighting type damage so you'll be hitting 180+ against EXes more often than not. Not to mention it seems it can pull Strong Energies from the discard?? Man, I hope it ends up being...

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    Honestly this looks like a card mostly used for its ability with a filler attack (Like Hoopa/Celebi/etc) as an early game wall in decks with fire energy. That doesn't mean it's good ,or even a needed role, but hey, it has flavor. And it's definitely a pretty card! I can see it being a wall or...

    Japan's XY9 Set: 'Rage of the Broken Sky,' New 'Battle Strengthening Sets'

    Oh man, it's really cool that the artist for this Aegislash card is the person who designed it! I'd like to see more of the designers do card art for Pokemon they designed
