They had Gen 6. EXs since XY :p (Xerneas,Yveltal).

I have a hunch feraligatr will suck, malamar FA will look beautiful however
 
It seems I was wrong... I ruled out Diancie-EX because I was expecting 6 EXs... Now that they said there's a 7th, it might be indeed Diancie-EX...
 
They've still only confirmed two M. EX Pokemon. I of course could be wrong here but I don't see them giving us Diancie EX and not M. Diancie EX. Add to that we already have one fairy type EX in this set, it makes it unlikely. Granted I suppose Diance EX could be a ground type (let's not forget Diancie is a dual typed Pokemon) and of course we got two Charizard EX's in the Flashfire set and two fighting type EX's in Furious Fists. Also, as it's still a few days out, we don't know that Malamar EX won't be psychic, though as I said earlier I'd bet it's a dark type.
 
Kind of really disappointed in the fact 4 of the ex's are Aegislash, Dialga, Florges and Malamar. Especially Malamar.


Still deciding if I will collect this set, may just do what I'm doing with Flashfire and buy the 3 packs when they are marked down to 10.99 since I've already pulled full arts of Charizard, Magnezone and Pokemon Fan Club for that set and I only really want Gengar and Manectric. Maybe I'll just buy those two full arts and call it a day.
 
Malamar-EX? Well, that was unexpected. I really hope we get a decent-disruptive Dark poke. I'm hanging on to the fact that they made a really cool M Gengar and an even better M Manectric.. also seeing that Barrier ability on the Groudon.. Bright future for Pokemon TCG. Feels like Fighting decks won't last long.

Anyway, Feraligatr love, yes!
- The "Hyper Whirlpool is ready to pull the foe under" doesn't sound promising, though. Same as Kingdra's (EX Team Rocket Returns) where it flips coins until you get tails and discards energies. Could be nice with Victini I guess..
- Loudred's Energy Press is also a known attack (+20 for each energy on the opponent's).
- Yanmega's Windfall is the same as Tornadus-EX (Plasma) grabbing 6 (though it might be less).
 
Interested to see what Florges EX has to offer. Unfortunately, I'm probably guessing a low HP EX like Hawlucha EX and a very bad Ability. Malamar EX is an interesting choice given what this set is offering.

M. Manectric EX will be a monster in many decks and Yveltal is probably pissing their pants now.

KINGLER

That is all I took away from the list of Pokemon. KINGLER.

The first time he's been in the TCG in SIX YEARS!

Now if only we'd get new Kadabra card =/

Really? I did not know that. Any other pokemon that never get cards? Besides Kadabra. I can think of Stantler were his last card was Unleashed and has only been in 6 cards overall.

One question I have though: Why is there Skittles flying around Gengar and M-Gengar? It honestly confuses me..

It's Ectoplasm :p
 
@EricDent: Tyranitar EX/M. Tyranitar EX will be along...eventually. At some perhaps long point in the future. I can't tell you how annoying it is to wait for the M. Pokemon to come out. If the presumable ORAS set doesn't give us M. Sceptile, M. Blaziken and M. Swampert I'd be surprised and a bit annoyed. And where are my fairy Gardevoir, Gardevoir EX and M. Gardevoir EX already? See; annoying.

The Clamperl line has only gotten 3 cards, with the last being in Great Encounters, which came out 6 years ago as well. I kinda want to see them as well in this set.

Also what if that special Dialga EX is the 7th EX?

They had Gen 6. EXs since XY :p (Xerneas,Yveltal).

I have a hunch feraligatr will suck, malamar FA will look beautiful however

oh I meant non legendary or mega EX. Cause we kept getting weird choices for EX and it makes sense to have more Kalos Pokes as EX. I really wanted a Tyrantrum EX but instead got a crappy non holo rare.

Feraligatr may not be the most playable card but it's nice to see Gen 2 sstarters again.

Well, they announced Aegislash-EX weeks ago :)
 
I mistyped Mantyke as Munchlax (who is listed again under Rising Rivals). I have a list made out on my home computer and was rushing to recreate it.

But yes Mantyke and Bonsly are two of the most screwed over Pokemon ever in the TCG. They've received only three cards and two of them were never translated. Other than some of the Kalos Pokemon they are the ONLY ones that have only one English card. They weren't even done in the HGSS block despite their evolutions and a bunch of other Baby Pokemon getting cards then, and now the TCG is on a kick where they don't use Baby Pokemon at all at the moment.
