I wasn’t expecting Diancie, but I’m happy to see it!

I’m not so sure about that. The meta is too fast and too donkin, so there’s a good chance you won’t even get the opportunity to evolve Stage 1 or 2 Megas. Only Basic Megas would be playable. Imo, having a Mega Token, similar to VSTAR and GX mechanics, that allows you to evolve a Mega once per...

Yeah but in cards perspective a gimmick around it would be fun to see and more interesting than 3 prizes

Still, with VSTAR attacks stepping in to replace GX after its rotation, I wondered if Mega Evolutions might replace it as well. I don't believe they should introduce negative rule again, but even Tera has its basic "bench barrier," while Megas got nothing—it's simply a straight-up 3 prizes and...

After all I think one of the most underwhelming things is that Mega Pokémon don’t have anything truly interesting—they’re just ordinary ex cards that give up 3 prizes. There’s no unique Mega Evolution rule, no special Mega attacks like VSTAR or GX. It’s strange as I expected Megas to take their...

Yeah, I’d personally prefer if they did something similar to BREAK mons.

I'm not sure about 3 prizes, but I like that this evolves directly from its lower stage. Let's wait for an overpowered basic.

If this ability were on Ponyta it might see some play, but as a Stage 1 with this attack? Nah I dont think so.

I agree, but not entirely. Yes, The Pokémon Company often designs products to maximize nostalgia and profit as much as possible. However, in the case of 151, the key factor was that after years, TPCI was finally able to print a Kadabra card. There’s a long story behind why they couldn’t do it...

What ol ex arts do you have in mind?

Show me more Steven and Marnie cards! Heat Wave can wait for now.

Metagross is not Grass and retrieval gives you energy back to hand so you can’t use abilities like Metagross, some decks will need energy recycles and it’s a great card

I thought about him but it feels inconsistent over all

Oricorio and Indeedee cards could make a great addition to a deck and paired with cook, potion, and perhaps leftovers

Oh my gosh, my beloved Steven is finally here! I liked these cards - while I’d prefer Metagross hitting for 220, 200 is still pretty solid. I imagine you'll pair Metal Pokémon with Steven, so wouldn’t Full Metal Lab be the better stadium? We’ll see what other Pokémon get revealed, though - I...

But at least it keeps G

And not only that but Hop can actually become an S-tier meta deck. With Secret Box and Arven, Zacian can be set up on the first turn going second and hit for 120 damage for zero energy. Then second turn evolving Archaludon hitting for 330 and maybe 360 if you use Kieran.

You can include Hitmonchan from 151 as a better alternative. If it gets knocked out, it only gives up one prize card, and its lower retreat cost makes it more flexible. Plus, there’s no need to worry about fitting electric energy into your deck.

I like it as it is it avoids the problem of having countless gimmicks in the game, which sets Pokémon apart from other TCGs like Magic. Keeping things simple ensures the game doesn’t get bogged down with unnecessary mechanics. Plus, it makes balancing much easier and helps keep the gameplay...

This card doesn't quite measure up compared to other Hop options. It's not even an effective counter to Budew, as it gives away two prize cards. Meanwhile, Hop's Zacian can deal 30 HP damage with just one energy or even for free with tool. Not worth including or building a strategy around this card.
