    “Ruler of the Black Flame” Officially Announced for Japan!

    Radiant Charizard, Entei V, Delphox V, and LORlax sure. Forgot about LORlax myself and it is an option as a single prize attacker with a different niche from Radiant Charizard. Not sure how much lost box players would think to go with Sableye to combat Radiant Charizard tho, as it sounds...

    “Ruler of the Black Flame” Officially Announced for Japan!

    We’re in short supply of attackers who benefit from Charizard that don’t just get by already with Magma Basin. As far as a current gameplan for Tera Charizard, pairing it with Delphox V was the first thing to come to mind. Can theoretically get set up turn 2 and pull off either early snipe KOs...

    “Obsidian Flames” Prerelease Promos Revealed!

    What in the world is this even responding to? The dude is asking “why would a simulator for the current available market of cards in a region would incorporate sets not due for up to several months?” and how that does not help with tournament practice. You allow players to earlier test a new...

    “Obsidian Flames” Prerelease Promos Revealed!

    The DTE build is already coming into huge question with Spiritomb.

    “Obsidian Flames” Prerelease Promos Revealed!

    Yeah, in Zorobox you’d have to give it reversal Energy and move it to the active. The problem with that is there’s already a Cetitan in Paldea evolved who, with Reversal Energy attached, hits 10 more damage, has 30 more HP, and doesn’t have a move-to-active condition. Palafin is already...

    Voltorb, Electrode, Illustration Rare Snorlax from “Pokemon Card 151!”

    Alright, while I jumped the gun on that, the point still stands that you have way too little benchspace to work with in this deck. That's still quite a few matchups where you have exactly 1 free space and nothing that pars up to Oricorio GX to work with. You also need to run both to cover those...

    Voltorb, Electrode, Illustration Rare Snorlax from “Pokemon Card 151!”

    Ok, now that I have my morning coffee and not saying completely wrong things (completely forgot what Snorlax was for, which was Leftovers recycling). Whimsicott was a deck that was... well overestimated when it was trying to do the same thing in SwSh. You are now less vulnerable to hand...

    Ninetales ex from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    Up to this point I’d say Cyclizar is worse, but this ain’t much to bother with in the current game. It doesn’t trade well compared to other stage 1 exs even. Lost Zone stage 1 ex decks are not that good competitively, but all beat this Ninetales by default for reliability, and some for clearly...

    Rhydon, Persian Lines from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    This would have been more reasonable if Rhydon’s cost wasn’t freakin FFC. Have fun hitting 180 of reversal energy and a specific supporter I guess.

    “Obsidian Flames” Officially Revealed, First Products from the Set!

    Maybe Regidrago will get a better meal than the Card 151 Dragonite this time around.

    Rigid Band, Parasect from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    The outcome is neat on Parasect… but it’s a stage 1. This isn’t fast enough to be worth it. You can build a stage 1 in the same time and still attack that turn. You’d need a Pokémon willing to take the hit and enough justification as to why you aren’t just playing your target like a typical...

    Raticate, Tauros from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    ThatUnlimitedProf is probably referring to SIT Jynx, who had a similar effect to Raticate as 10+10 per damage counter as a basic, and how that doesn’t/hasn’t really done much of anything.

    Raticate, Tauros from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    Some Zoroark Box decks in Japan have been experimenting with Reversal Energy and Crown Zenith Electivire already. Raticate wouldn’t be that bad of an add-on to that idea. Still isn’t anything stellar of a deck, but it’s something I guess.

    Beedrill from “Pokemon Card 151” Revealed in “CoroCoro!”

    So for a DCE cost and stage 2 build, you roll dice on Paralysis holding or be a worse version of Hisuian Arcanine? Yeah no. Even Veluza isn’t that obnoxious.

    Pokémon Trading Card Game Online (PTCGO) Sunsets June 5th

    On top of all the bugs, lack of decent UI, and questionable design choices, isn’t Expanded format still missing 2 generations of cards that are probably being coded right now?

    Onix, Raichu from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    And lucky for you on this satiric sabbatical, there's just enough Retreat-4 evolutions in standard that you can run all different cards!

    Venusaur ex, Charizard ex, Blastoise ex, and More Revealed from “Pokemon Card 151!”

    For Charizard ex, I would not feel confident at all in a stage 2 deck needing multiple stage 2s to get set up for its defining attack, even if from the same family (Detonating Vortex, set up by Charizard ex and POGO Charizard). I wouldn't play either realistically right now, but would rather...
