All energy is Jet Energy with this one. Other than that, GLC food, and even then it isn't good.

Sleep/Poison seems kinda nuts in GLC. Could see play with Toxicroak ex too. Not the best thing in the world, but useable.

Exeggcutor is... Okay. Combos well with Xatu in GLC. Speaking of... Xatu reminds me of Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX. Very good card. Deoxys: no. Heat Rotom: Jesus... Volcanion: decent one-prize energy accelerator, could pair well with new Skeledirge ex, with the absolutely nuts Steam Up upgrade.

Lapras: depressing as always. Octillary: would be good if we still had Scoop-Up Net Plusle/Minun: interesting, but not entirely worth 2 bench space. Hoopa ex: seems like a counter to Gardevoir ex, but that tera Fighting makes it weak to Psychic. A true loss. Thievul: no. Gholdengo my...

Ancient Booster makes Scream Tail a bit of a menace is Gardevoir ex. 150HP means it can have 7 energy attached, with 14 damage counters. With its second attack, it does 20 snipe for each damage counter on that bad boy, dealing the magic 280 as snipe damage. Nuts.

Upsetting

Armarouge ex is interesting, that's like the 4th printing that guy got in 4 sets. Sandy Shocks is a weird choice to give an ex to, kinda expecting Flutter Mane, considering its VGC presence. I love the design on the ETBs. I still think Roaring Moon is the most interesting thing in this set.

Yikes. Yet another one-stage Pokemon getting an almost unforgivably mediocre card. We as a people must stand up for these Pokemon, such as Lapras, Absol, and Tropius.

Indirectly revealed card in the presentation is Booster Energy Capsule on Brute Bonnet. No clue what it will do, but it will likely synergize with the Paradox mons well. The Past Future is also most definitely this generation's versions of Battle Styles. Roaring Moon will always and forever be...

Are the energy at least legal for tournament play? If so I'll buy one. Only under that condition

If you play one in game, are you disqualified as you can only play one per year, thus leaving you with a 59 card deck of playable cards?

Gardevoir does need some support after E Block rotates, so good to give Mewtwo an attack with perfect synergy with Gardevoir, along with perfect typing for deck is struggles against. Steam Up Volcanion EX is back, now better than ever. All we need is a Crocalor that has draw support and we have...

Bombirdier is interesting. Ashame it has to stay on the fie- wait it has a built in method of getting off the board and it's universal for just about every deck? S-Tier card. Mantyke is interesting. Don't know if a prize card is worth that much HP but to each their own. Another Yveltal for me...

You know it's bad when the best cards in the set is a Charizard and a new method of mill. Pidgeot will help with Lugia a little at least

Freaking spoilers, now I want to know what Iron Valiant does and we aren't going to know for another month I bet

That Garchomp is freaking nuts. 160 for 1 energy is insane enough but then you can accelerate energy? Holy moly that might be a deck I run. I like the ability of Froslass. If only it was more offensively present in the game. Groudon's neat. No really good way to accelerate back those...

Unless they print the most broken Psyduck ever, smart way to make a very exclusive card unplayable

Really named a show after rule box ability lock

My prediction of it including the surfer boy Gholdengo was correct, Jirachi and Tapu Koko I'm interested to see what those do, and glad they are giving the wild tera water Garchomp (MVP in my playthrough) a little love.

Best Holo pattern. Undisputed. Also first reprints for Scarlet and Violet in a new set (wait Arven is in Obsidian Flames)
