Was Origin Giratina a thing? Odd that these aren't just named Palkia V and Dialga V.
We still have 2 main sets (and who knows how many subsets) before the start of the Scarlet & Violet series, there's enough time for that.Unfortunately it looks like it's just Barry, Rowan and Cyrus really.
Gen 9 is coming at the end of the year so not enough space for G4 gym leaders unless there's an explosion of FAs in a VMAX Climax like set.
They've been pretty random at adding them in anyway since they went all out starting with SM.
Hoping that adorable Maylene becomes a TCG. Irida is coming so that's great.We still have 2 main sets (and who knows how many subsets) before the start of the Scarlet & Violet series, there's enough time for that.
All yall talking about Dialga and almost no one talking about Palkia
This guys damage output is nuts for 2 Energy - Yes your opponent can Limit their bench but few decks can survive with 0 - 1 Sobbles in play while keeping up with your consistent 2 hit KOs.
I wouldn't Say it warrants ZERO hype, the card is fine but I think people are just going oMg TaKe AnOtHeR tUrN iT mUsT bE bRoKeN too much lolYeah, Dialga warrants zero hype for me, Palkia is the obviously and (pretty much objectively) the better card of the two. Very, very solid card.
We never got a single Psychic-type Decidueye (or Primarina) but all of the Hisuian starters already have both of their types finished in the TCG by English set #1?
Barry is already outUnfortunately it looks like it's just Barry, Rowan and Cyrus really.

Because in Gen 4 they didn't put forme names in cards. These days they do.Was Origin Giratina a thing? Odd that these aren't just named Palkia V and Dialga V.
That's a really nice touch. Maybe we'll also get Porygon-Z and Weavile (perhaps with Sneasler in the opposite set).Neat, all the Pokémon revealed are related ot the Space-Time Distortions.
Why use this magnezone when you can use the other magnezone which just attaches metal energy from your hand in any amount?The Dialga is very funny lol and I'm sure you could probably do some Arceus + Dialga BS with it. For those with an interest in GLC the Magnezone and Adaman also seem very strong as well.
I feel that everyone is sleeping on dialga vstar/dialga gx/turbo zacian v in expanded. Imagine taking 2 extra turns at the possible start of the game to basically win in one turn.The numbering on Palkia-O and Oshawott seems pretty weird. Shouldn't Palkia-O be first before Oshawott since it was #484? Anyways...
Rowlet/Dartrix/H.Decidueye - too slow, yet interesting nonetheless. If you run the V-immune Decidueye (although Miltank exists, and it is 151x better), you can tech in this Decidueye. 2/2/3-4
Cyndaquil/Quilava/H.Typhlosion - meh. 2/2/3-4
Oshawott/Dewott/H.Samurott - It's Swampert, but not as good as Swampert. 2/2/3-4
Magnemite/Magneton/Magnezone - let's get this thing out of the way, it's not good, not even a replacement for Bronzong. Heck, Bronzong isn't a legit Energy Acceleration card since it moves M energy around the board. It is also a Stage 2, and it's very unreliable since you expect 1-3 energy per Magnezone's ability. It only caters Pokemon with cheap yet strong attacks. 2/2/4
Shieldon/Bastiodon - stop trying yourself hard, Bastiodon. You know it won't work on a meta rn. You only good in Pokemon GO. 2/2
Cranidos/Rampardos - suck nuggets, the opponent can easily manipulate it. Although, its nice to see Unidentified Fossil back. 2/3
Dialga-O V/VSTAR - Without Choice Belt, it took 5 energy to even OHKO a simple Pokemon V, which is a lot, and ain't worth it in the long run. Although I like the VSTAR Power, since Dialga-GX saw relevance with that effect. 2/4
Palkia-O V/VSTAR - This one, I am on board with that. For same energy as Suicune V, It can KO any Pokemon V and weak VSTARs. I don't count Choice Belt and Inteleon, obv. since not all the time you rely much on Choice Belt and Inteleon. For VSTAR Power, I am on board! 4/4-5 Defenitely better than Ice Caly since it hit much than Ice Caly on the same attack cost, and 1 less prize liability.
Adaman - Zacian decks. 3
Irida - Water Korrina, will see play. 5 Geodudes.
How about getting the 5 energy first, without complicating your setup?I feel that everyone is sleeping on dialga vstar/dialga gx/turbo zacian v in expanded. Imagine taking 2 extra turns at the possible start of the game to basically win in one turn.
