    “Night Wanderer” TCG Set Officially Revealed Featuring Pecharunt ex and The Loyal Three!

    Oh, the acronym pops up in other card game circles too, whether or not those games have any history of an official card creation contest. All it takes is a community member that isn't quite satisfied with a particular archetype's competitive standing, or a community member that would really like...

    “Night Wanderer” TCG Set Officially Revealed Featuring Pecharunt ex and The Loyal Three!

    What a polarizing set of reveals. Colress's Tenacity is a certified banger, offering the format its most convenient method of reaching Stadiums and Special Energy yet. But playing it (or the more obvious Colress's Experiment) puts you at risk of being obliterated by this Kyurem that reads like...

    Pokemon TCG Earned Record $857 Million in Japan for 2023, More Than Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, and Others Combined!

    It sure helps your sales figures when you're actually printing beyond demand instead of forcing people to enter lotteries to buy your products.

    All 101 “Mask of Change” Main Set Cards Revealed!

    Attacks or abilities a card has are the ones printed on it, and only the ones printed on it. Attacks or abilities a card can use include both the ones printed on it as well as the ones printed on other cards, such as the TM or Seal Stone Tools. The reason we're even having any confusion about...

    Tera Charizard ex and Chien-Pao ex “Battle Master Decks” Revealed for May!

    We already got this sword kitty by way of our ex battle decks, yeah?

    Golisopod ex, Jirachi, Mela, TM Turbo Energize from “Paradox Rift” Revealed!

    It's pretty clear about what it does. It does not allow an attack effect from an opponent's basic Pokémon to place damage counters on your benched Pokémon. As usual, raw damage is not an effect, so it won't block the likes of Scream Tail or Zapdos ex.

    “Roaring Moon ex Box” and “Iron Valiant ex Box” Revealed for November!

    I might be the only person in the world who's excited to see Future Booster Energy fixing a long-standing translation error that English cards have had. "attacks a Pokémon uses" are not the same as "attacks belonging to a Pokémon"; Lost Origin Cramorant is an example of a card that has the...

    Absol from “Raging Surf” Revealed!

    They actually don't, at all. Their regulation marks aren't changing. lol

    Tera Mewtwo ex and Tera Skeledirge ex Revealed!

    I'm kinda floored seeing how good these starter sets are after the abysmal quality of the ex start decks, and they aren't even being released that far apart from one another... what gives?

    “Paradox Rift” Officially Previewed!

    Paradoxes could be pushed, sure, but I don't think there's any obligation for the cards to be Basic. If they were a category of their own, they could easily be regulated in terms of speed. They could also be regulated in terms of impact by requiring other cards to function. Just spitballing...

    New Paradox Pokemon and Evolutions Revealed for Scarlet & Violet DLC!

    I'm here for the Eviolite Duraludon shenanigans.

    “Obsidian Flames” English Set List, Products, and Info!

    Greninja was cut to be turned into a promo for an ex battle deck. Not sure why they wouldn't just do the same for the rest of the line, though...

    Houndoom, Houndour from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    They didn't even have the decency to let it OHKO Mew VMAX with a Choice Belt... sad stuff.

    Tera Dragonite ex and Tera Greedent ex from “ex Starter Decks” Revealed!

    I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that they'd spend so much time and energy producing so much blatant filler. Does offering a starter deck for every type have an overwhelmingly positive marketing effect or something? Why doesn't the international print of the game have that...

    Cubone, Marowak from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    Zoroark replaces itself with a Marowak from the discard pile whilst keeping 4 Cubone benched. A bit of a stretch in terms of setup, but very possible.

    Staryu, Starmie from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

    I can't hate a Flapple side grade. No deck I ever cooked with Flapple ever actually worked out, but I've got more hope for this one due to Rescue Carrier synergy.
