I'm a Gengar player and even I think it's broken. Not only does he get 30 extra HP but removing a lvl X? Gosh what were they thinking. Now EVERYONE is going to play Gengar. The only good part about the X is that they have to run one less normal Gengar.

I seriously see what you mean, but if you do it right, he can be taken down by LV-X killers like Flygon LV-X, see what I mean?

Time for my trimonthly analyzation.

Wait, only 4 Lv.Xs in the main set? That sucks. And only 2 are good.

Speaking of good Lv.Xs, I'd say that Gengar Lv.X is one of the(if not, THE) best Lv.X we have so far.

These new tools are epic. Lucky Egg can make yor opponent think twice before knocking out a Pokemon. Expert Belt can easily turn a 2HKO into a OHKO. And Bench Shield protects your benched stuff from snipers and Gengar Lv.X.

Heh, the Wormadams and Mothim are pretty cool. I see a new rogue coming.

Spiritomb is just awesome. Nobody can play down their Rare Candy, while you can just evolve manually with Dark Grace.

Porygon-Z G is pretty interesting, being able to recycle Energy Gains, Expert Belts, and Lucky Eggs and all that.

The fossil Pokemon might make a decent rogue. Aerodactyl to get the fossils, Kabutops to discard them for heavy damage, and Omastar to deal damage late-game.

I guess they screwed up a bunch of holos in this set. I mean, really. Swalot and Mothim as holos? Really?

Oooh, Luxray is interesting. With Expert Belt, you're looking at 120 damage for 3 energy. And if Luxray is knocked out, your opponent won't draw an extra prize because the Expert Belt isn't on Luxray. I see a new rogue, possibly a competitively viable deck.

Zapdos G was disappointing. Oh well. At least it has good artwork.

I really like how Froslass and Glalie work together.

With Expert Belt and a couple PP's, Beedrill G could donk.


That's all I noticed so far. Overall, a very good and interesting set. The only problem is that Gengar will be incredibly broken thanks to the new Lv.X.

I agree, in my opinion Gengar LVX is an epic fail, just too powerful, that card is broken and it seems it's only weak point is Flygon LVX's LVX destroying attack if it's on the bench!

Don't give up hope, every card has a weak point and I'll be sure to find it, I've done that when many players were said to be unbeatable and I found a weak point, I know I'm quoting a yugioh cliche here but have faith in the cards!

3 years ago, a young boy wrote down on a small piece of paper that Jirachi HL should be reprinted and made 20 times more awesome for future generations to experience... little did he know that wish would come true today in a somewhat Gastly form (pun intended)

Apart from Spiritomb, Cringegar LvlX and a few other things (Porygon Z might go well in a deck I am planning) I don't really think this is that good of a set (First impressions anyway). The only thing that looks really interesting right now are the trainers and how Expert belt can be a brilliant card if used in the right hands.

Edit: Anyone think that Department Girl looks like Trucy Wright from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney?

What about Salamence LVX? I've been waiting for that card to come out, It would seriously amp up my deck, people at my local pokemon league hang out (well the younger kids) have been living in fear of when that card comes and me getting ahold of it!

Wjhat in the name of Isis are you thinking that card is too powerful!
 
I very pleased with the distribution in my box. Now if the English boxes were this good.
