wait, you just have to have it in your hand to activate it?!?!!!
Cause that seems busted
“Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst” Sets Featuring Chien-Pao ex and Ting-Lu ex Officially Revealed!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Cause that seems busted
They haven't received all of the cards yet, so I'm assuming Wo-Chien will be in the sets.
Maybe wo-chien will finally be a broken grass card
Where is the fourth Runic Legendary ex? they only revealed 3 of them.
Super Rod returning is pretty good. Will no longer have to use Klara/Miriam
Iono - Basically an N/Marnie like reprint, definetely will be a staple Supporter.
Ting-Lu ex- Will need to be played with a spread card to get it's ability's full value.
Chien Pao ex - Gonna be great in water decks, ability is basically Capacious Bucket, especially with the new Bacxaliber
Chi Yu ex - A way to set up fire energy on the board while doing 100 damage. Not too bad
The Baxcliber line is gonna be amazing to get your water energy in play and can even work well with Chien Pao ex.
Squakibilly ex - Dedenne GX ability is back but worse, cause if you can't get it on the first turn of the game, it is useless.
Overall, this set definetely has more playable cards than Triple beat so far.

N is back as Iono!!!!
Yeah, cause they couldn't do that with Nemona being the draw 3, they had to compensate somewhere
I can see some possible cheese with Rabsca in expanded. Going Second, Turn 1 Wally with Dimension Valley for a free Stage 2 ex or GX, VMAX, or even Mega Pokémon if you're into that. Plenty of ways to get pokemon in the discard in expanded as well. And as far as expanded goes, a Stage 2 could mean Item Lock, Supporter Lock, Ability Lock, Draw support that never gets used because it's too expensive, and a colorful pallette of rain dancers to choose from. Very excited to make some fun decks with it.
Nemona's Passion or something will come, don't worry.
No, what they mean is that you can search it out with effects like VIP Pass and get its effect, something Dedenne can’t do because it specifies it has to be played from the hand.

That Raichu napping is totally relatable.
Wait... Is Grusha's no-energy draw actually draw up to 7 cards, or is that just meant to be "draw until you have 7 cards", because those are VERY different.
Go ahead and burn all your copies of tape of coughness. It’s been crept away.
kinda but not really, cuz you can use the ability at any point in the turn like a supporter but after the first turn its just a 160 hp 2-prize liability.
They do poorly against Mew decks. This will force Mew to find a vacuum + tablet + boss for the knockout. However Path Judge mew runs 3-4 vacuums. Other decks can just Arven into a tool jammer.
It reads really good, but I think the struggle will be finding a pokemon that's worth playing the Rabsca line to get out. Earliest you can have that pokemon is the end of your second turn so I doubt it will see any play outside of a control style deck.
Revival blessing on a stage 1 pokemon is cracked, put any pokemon from your discard pile onto your bench
I hate Squawkabilly, but this card is a thing of absolute beauty. It helps any deck with a weak early game get off the ground without risk of bricking you for being your only basic, and it even intrinsically favors player 2 over player 1 in a game that has historically been less than balanced in regards to turn order. We've truly come a long way from Shaymin.
I'd be happy even if that were the most exciting card in the set, but it doesn't even come close. A control oriented fighting-type boss? Sign me up! Fire might not be a total embarrassment this block? Neat! Bucket on legs? Sweet! N and Marnie did the fusion dance?! Holy-
Not to mention that even the single prizers in this set are doing some gnarly things even if they aren't necessarily competitive.
