(1) Advent of Arceus Scans / Translations [7/6]

They don't even give us any decent dark Pokemon to fight off the new fiend that is Gengar X. sad. Weavile SW is going to replace Dusknoir DP as THE tech. x2 Dark weakness amkes the card a lot worse then it seems. That being said, it is still INSANELY broken. Even the new Haunter is good. We officially have a Gastly-Haunter-Gengar-Gengar lv.x line where every card is well above average.

I love the artwork for Toxicroak, Tangela, Mothim, Heatran, Froslass, Glalie, all the Arceus', Zapdos G, Gengar Lv.X, Swalot, Kabutops, Bronzor, and the haunter from the theme deck.

As far as good cards go:
Gengar lv.X, Haunter, Rapidash, Froslass, Toxicroak (not the greatest, but not bad), Spiritomb, Salalmence, Porygon-Z G and bench Sheild all catch my eye.
 
Since there are only 4 Lv.X's, does this mean there is only going to be 1 per box? I just preordered one. Gengar is super-broken and Salamence X is kinda cool-looking but it won't have all that much potential in games. IMO.
 
Porygon Z decks just gained a spot in Tier 1.5/2. Porygon Z G and that Department worker both turned this into a contending deck.

I thought Department Worker/Porygon Z G are for tools...Porygon Z uses TMs.
 
hmmm. im liking the gengar and spiritomb, maybe they could work well together but they will be great in decks.
also the tangrowth line is nice but it WILL DIE TO GENGAR!!!!!! the new format will be gengar and decks that can beat it, just like 07-08 with plox, maybe in the next set we will see something to counter gengar BUT think of this, the next set probobly will be the gold and silver set so who knows what will show up in that one.

P.S finaly they are cutting down on SPs, they arn't good with machamp around and they are stupid IMO.
 
Pretty cool cards. The artwork for most of the set is amazing, and almost every Arceus card's artwork is, like I said when I first saw them, brilliant (exceptions being Ground Arceus and the Fire/Grass Lv.X).

I guess that's all I have to say about this set, since I don't play the TCG. xP
 
Wow, this set is more disappointing then I thought. I don't care about Shiny Energies if they're in here. I will never buy a box of the worst set I've ever seen in recent memory. That being said, I like the ideas they tried to make work. I love the resurgence of Tool based decks. Department Girl, Luxray, Porygon-Z. All amazing. And then we have broken Gengar+Gengar Lv.X. I didn't think it was possible, but Gengar will take both Worlds in a row. 0_o I like First Draw, it can only help the terrible Arceus cards. I like the both Trainer lock in Spiritomb, but Starters aren't for this format. And Rapidash is a great SP counter card except there's only three SP cards in this set (which sucks). SP will hardly be played anyway is my guess. Idk, this set is really not appealing to me at ALL.

2 major points about this set 1st Relicanth from 1 set back waves HI so hard his arms drop off, seriously alot of tools its going to make thing interesting
2nd anyone notice that you could probably donk with raticate if you expert belt him he does 80 for 1 colourless plus has 90hp
 
there is the shaymin land forme lv.x + tangroth for 4 energys its 120 with out discarding it dose 120 when tangroth has more hp then the defending pokemon while shaymin gives it 40 more hp then u lv up to give it 170 hp

theres no reprints
 
Tangrowth is okay, Salamence lv. X is quite good but not much on the damage front. The arceus are okay but the grass type 30 damage, I mean come on, this is arceus right. Whats up with the gulpin?
 
No classic reprints he means. Like stuff from really old sets or something.

Why would they reprint old set cards? There would be very little point in that.

ERRRR, have you been buying packs since StormFront?? :p

And to all of you people ranting about Gengar level X: We are getting Absol G soon... :p
 
^There have been reprints in every platinum set. Hitmonchan, Scyther, Electabuzz, Pikachu, Flying Pikachu, Surfing Pikachu, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. They are pretty cool.
 
That's^ what I was thinking. Possibly a new block.

dmaster out.
