I had such high hopes too
“Battle Partners” All 100 Main Set Cards Revealed!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
I mean sure the Lillie deck probably won't be meta but she at least got some support. N got totally shafted
So they have Hop tons of support and it should be a good deck even though most people don't like him. Meanwhile N is pretty popular and the best chance it has at play is it might get played for draw but there's definitely not a deck there. Any chance they'll add more cards for him in the next set?
There must be, right? Like why is there no N's Galvantula.
Or Liepard. They could've given him a Zekrom too. N's Zoroark has so much potential to be great but no support to help it reach that potential.
Love when that happens. Spiting the people that feel just because whatever absurd reason their favorite must be good. That being said maybe we could see more of these trainer's pokemon in the future? Hop aside the other really need more time cooking but who knows, where would they even appear
Its not extraodinary but I think is fine, people always complain about Mew Vmax and Regidrago, why do you want Zoroark to join that list
Already have a only damage attack, a revenge attack, bench damage, increasing damage from energys on discard (Perfect Vs Ceruledge), cheat to take a last prize and some kind of control, KlingKlang is awful useless btw... Literally only need some kind counters placement to make him more annoying...

If I had to guess it’d probably be Salamence and Volcanion that get the two remaining SAR slots. If all 4 of the trainer pokemon get them (which I’m almost certain they will) Mamoswine would be out of the running. I could see a world where they’d give Dudunsparce an SAR since it’s a newer mon, but I highly doubt it would be over Salamence.
Because I like Zoroark and was looking forward to building a deck around it. I'm not asking for them to give it attacks like Redidragi has access to either just something worth using. It's best attack is just a flat 170 from Reshiram. That's not good.

Fingers crossed for Iris! Her last Full Art appearance was TWELVE YEARS AGO, so to see her on a new one PLUS a possible SAR might end up being the thing that teams up with Iono's Bellibolt to save this set in the eyes of collectors like myself!
OK so it has a great Ceruledge match up. What about when you play literally any other deck?
Sorry, what you really are expecting? Is a living draw engine that only need 2 energys to attack and tools to get that easily, did you wanted him having access to a 300 damage attack in his first turn or something like that? Will be break the meta? Probably no, but pretty sure will be around
What do you do agaisnt other decks? Kill back with revenge attack [Duraludon 220 (440)] [Dragapult 200 (400)], screw the setup of evolutions decks with bench damage in a format without bench protection, it have options... A 170 attack which is pretty much a 2 shots to other big Pokemons, almost all mons always need 2 shots, having 160 definitely would be lame, 170 is fine...
ARTICUNO ILLUSTRATION RARE, FINALLY.
On a side note I need to hide my soul.

Dude. The deck is straight up garbage.
Literally none of his attacks hit the threshold for viability at all. I'm not sure what you're on about but this isn't even close to being a Mew or Regidrago scenario because a) setting up N's pokemon on the bench is drastically more complicated and vulnerable and b) all the attacks suck and are being severely exaggerated by you.
Brandon's Articuno and Brandon's Regirock, come on.
Also, yay Tomokazu Komiya card... but it's not an Owner's Pokemon

Well buddy everyone agrees with me it's not going to be good and no I wasn't expecting it to do 300 but ya I would've liked more than 170 without having to have a ton of damage on. You just mentioned Dragapult who also has a 2 energy attack with easy ways to get the energy on and it does 200 damage plus bench damage and you're excited about straight up 170 or 90 to active and bench while discarding all your energy? Go ahead and be excited about this it will not be meta. Not as a deck. Sure Zoroark by itself will probably go in some decks for draw but that's it. When it comes out you use this and I get my choice of deck and let's battle I bet you wouldn't bet much money on yourself winning.
Im not saying is Drago or Mew, Im only saying that people tend to complain about that kind of decks when they become overpowered, then we have a deck with a similiar mechaninc of copy which is not overpowered and people is already complaing about why is not broken... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
