Flamigo's ability gives me the feeling that it'd have some out-there niche even outside of the dangerous wings context, essentially being a way to grab 3 basic pokemon from the deck immediately to your hand. Maybe something in expanded wants that, for whatever reason.

Revavroom is a pretty good (draw) engine, which I find delightful. They saw their chance and took it

Spidops ex looks like Leafeon VMax, in that could come out of the woodwork as an antimeta pick when every top deck has 3 or so retreat

Yeah, was referring to scoop up net as it's rotating as gen 9 starts. If there's other cards that let you scoop however, even a somewhat used supporter, I can see Hawlucha seeing good play. G.Zigzagoon was everywhere for a while, and for good reason; chip damage can turn the tide and grab you a...

Ah, the gym promo Hawlucha is Zigzagoon 2. If Scoop returns, it'll be a staple

The ralts line arts are so cute! Huge fan of those cards

Holo league Falinks RCL is gonna be my white whale for a while...

The shiny Zacian/Zamazenta V are a bit funny, because they'll be released after their own rotation. Probably 2 sets deep into ScVi, even.

After ex's become a thing 1 main english set after Silver Tempest, the quality of V Guard Energy and Serena's boss might be deminished a little

Mawile VStar could make a great tech in Arceus, a single DTE lets it swing for 320 against Urshifu, an OHKO with belt.

From the looks of things Mimikyu ex (basic) is 190hp, Lucario ex (stage 1) is 260hp, and the video showed Magnezone (stage 2) is 330hp. This is clearly to stay in line with the V era, but keeping HP in scale with the effort required to get them in. Having evolving 2-prizers again is pretty hype...

For Vs specifically; ScVi might use something else.

This will be the last true SWSH era set, excluding the special one. Should be interesting

Appreciating the item cameos in Rotom's alt art! I could find Escape Rope, Pokemon Catcher, Max Potion and Silvally's drives

As someone who went to the pop up London pokecenter's launch day in 2019 I fully understand why they're doing this

It's likely releasing later to dodge Worlds more, with Lost Origin Prerelease events able to be held just a week after Worlds; August 26th.

Whimsicott GX returns as a 1 prizer

Mewtwo VStar looks like it can be a genuine monster with Sr Calyrex. 270 is not teeny damage, and 120 spread to every V can be a game decider.

If your opponent can't boss around it constantly, H.Goodra Vstar and Gardevoir could be great, taking 3hkos from Mew and Arceus while dealing a heavy 200 damage in return. Has potential to be a frustrating wall deck if you include healing items.

Maybe Garchomp will eventually get a VStar to give the sinnoh champion's ace a half decent card
