‘CoroCoro’ Reveals Two M-Charizard EX, Protect Cube [2/13]
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Does anyone see a new combo coming? I do.
Emboar/M Charizard Y/Protect Cube
Emboar/M Charizard Y/Protect Cube
There's something I've been wondering about in regards to Protect Cube, say you have Protect Cube attached to your Active Mewtwo EX and they use X-Ball with their Mewtwo EX, does that mean that the opponent's Mewtwo EX wouldn't be able to use X-Ball due to your Active Mewtwo EX having Protect Cube attached since it doesn't receive any damage from it's own attacks?

That's potentially the greatest loophole ever. I'm really hoping that comes through in the English translation! =D
@CardSlingerJ: lol? It's pretty clear Protect Cube is referring to your pokémon attacks, it doesn't matter if the defending pokémon is the same card...
Anyway...
Seriously, the attack name in the artwork is f... annoying! It just steals space of the actual artwork and we don't get a detailed view of the pokémon... Megas should have FAs, or even be exclusively made as FAs...

I Know its obvious what they mean, but it could be interpreted that way, its own attacks meaning I.E Mewtwo can't receive damage from attacks with the same name as the attacks it can use, it can totally be interpreted that way.
IMO I hope it does mean that because that just makes mirror matches up the more fun, however that would be too OP for whatever silly reason that people always have. I mean my Cobalion deck wouldn't be a good example because Cobalion hits everything whether it be rain or shine or the end of the world, 3 energy=100 damage if hes not paralyzed or asleep that is.
but say, for Yveltal EX, if i'm playing the mirror I now have to change my strategy if they have a Yveltal EX with protect cube up. Im not sure why you would want to tech those in for the rare mirror match, but I would consider it an added effect on top of the implied one that could make some games more interesting, even if it is completely useless in normal situations.
Of course there are probably a ton of cards that could make the game more interesting as a novelty if we just took at different perspective of their translations.

Still it would've been cool If it also applied to the defending Pokemon If it's the same card regardless If it's a regular reprint or a shiny reprint but since Protect Cube is only useful for getting around recoil damage from your active Pokemon it's nowhere near as playable as it could've been If it applied to the defending Pokemon as well.

Would you use your Supporter as a catcher... I wouldn't, none of my league would. Fun fact is that a friend said "Yeah, I want them to make the Cather to be used with a flip coin or to make it a supporter at least, because it's OP" and look at us now.
For me the best Charizard is the one that says:
You can load it in the next turn if you get the 3 heads. And you only have to discard 1 energy to it.
Lysandre would be logical to run for bench manipulation If you already have Tropical Beach out so that you won't need to play a draw supporter on the same turn but for decks that don't run Tropical Beach and/or Champions Festival, Lysandre might not be a good idea If you're still needing to rely on draw supporters like N, Juniper/Sycamore, Shauna, etc. for card advantage let alone playing Skyla to get Rare Candies for Stage 2 Setup decks.
I thought about running Lysandre over Silver Bangle in my Empoleon / Dusknoir deck but realized I'm probably much better off with Hypnotoxic Laser like what everyone else in my meta is playing at League Challenge and other events. Even If you're not running Virbank it's still really good for almost getting the same result in damage as you would with Silver Bangle which Goodra shuts down easily including Garbodor which might help loosen deck space to replace Tool Scrapper.

You do run the risk of your opponent taking 2 prizes with Keldeo EX If you end up using Flare Up with Charizard EX so you're much better off using Fire Blast If you have Emboar benched for Inferno Fandango. If your opponent is running Keldeo EX you need to one shot it with Leafeon's Energy Crush ASAP.
I don't think this could be so great, why a Pokémon should not be able to get damage from an identical Pokèmon from the opponent? If you don't want a mirror match, just change your strategy even without a specific Item card... An Item card to block recoil damage is great, an Item card to block mirror matches is not so logical..ECHOxLegend said:
Yeah, hard times are coming for VirGen decks!Eron said:RealSlim said:3 heads? No, 1 heads = 3 energiesso much better
Oh... that card is broken!
It's time to troll VirGen!
RealSlim said:
Let's say that you battle to someone and he has the same deck as you he has the 4 Protect Cubes in use and so do you, both have 5 Pokémon in use, and the only one with no Protect Cube is something you don't have in your deck.... and you have one Pokémon benched repeated.
Now you see.
That's another reason. For your response.
