Honestly? This might have a home in Froslass spread decks. There's pretty negative synergy between this and Cynthia's Garchomp ex (wants you to max out on fighting energy) and Cynthia's Roserade (only buffs damage dealt to the active), so it doesn't really fit in a Cynthia's deck unless there's...

About a decade ago, i remember the local toys r us selling pokemon above msrp even though there was a walmart right next to it which also carried cards. I guess it's just a thing that dying businesses do to wring out a little more money on the way out.

Considering the lengths smogon goes to make singles playable, there's no way that whatever singles format this game has won't be substantially worse.

It's unplayable. Tbh I'm a little disappointed that they're giving an art rare to greedent over any of Arven's actually likable pokemon.

The article implies theyre all in here i think

The same way they fumbled every stellar tera. But tbh, I think pokemon is just really bad at making good decks out of only one wave of support. Most of these decks just need a little push to be actually good rn.

I kinda like baltoy and claydol, skarmory has a good attack but 50 might not be enough since since you wanna be able to ohko 60/70hp basics before they evolve. Both of these decks still seem a little underwhelming unfortunately.

I think the pretty cards being relatively easy to pull is nice. It's a little jarring that there are just so many of em. Xy base set was like 146(?) cards and that was considered huge.

I think the fact that we're done with ace specs should make pull rates for everything else a bit better to compensate

3 copies of lillie's pearl is crazy when most decks aren't even playing one. They definitely anticipated a lot of people to play it since it hits both pult and bolt super effectively. I'm sure this product will still get bought out considering the current landscape but it still feels like a...

Oh, is this why they held back the fez reprint?

Ok to be perfectly honest, it's starting to get genuinely frustrating that some of the best artwork in the entirety of ptcg is locked to a f2p mobile game.

How miserable. Everyone who bothered getting flairs or those special tickets has now been actively punished for it with less trade currency. The system itself is not only over complicated, but you can't see other people's wishlists so making trade requests with players you've met in-game is...

BW1 and BW2 are both looked back on as very good games. BW1 was the first pokemon game to have a story that is actually interesting (though its kinda overrated imo), and BW2 were just overall very good games with tons of content. BW1 also locked all old pokemon to the postgame, so it's the only...

Welcome back head ringer

Palkia's attack is good, but you need to discard 3 water energy. You're probably only using that attack once. Sometimes that's enough, but there are many times when they just bring in a second ex from the bench after you take down their first, and greninja cant chip away at their bench fast...

I love gen 4, but I'm a bit disappointed that we're not going deep into Johto just yet. As for tool cards, I think there's a 99% chance that the first tools we get are adamant and lustrous orbs to make dialga/palkia more playable. Dialga is fine since steels don't have anything better, but...

Acryllic stands are fun, I hope this becomes a consistent product.

Coloring in the trainers for the gold full arts is a nice touch. They still dont compare to the SARs, but theyre pretty cool still. I think Articuno will be pretty cheap, Clefairy ex is a SAR and has Lillie in it so it'll probably sell for a lot more

Hop getting a card as a gym promo and Iono's merch featuring Luxray and Mismagius when there aren't any "Iono's Mismagius" or "Iono's Luxray" seems to imply they're gonna continue printing support for each trainer in future sets. Still, it feels weird to have the actual pokemon that this set is...
