(1) BW4 'Dark Rush' Officially Revealed [10/7]

^Seriously??? I don't play, I just collect cards and even I understand the tcg rules better than you guys!!!
No! What the ability does is this: Say the defending pokémon is burned and the opponent flips a coin to check if the pokémon gets burn damage between turns. If the coin flip results in tails, instead of 2 damage counters, the burned pokémon takes 4 damage counters. That's it! Nothing else. Even if you have 4 Volcarona, it will always be just 4 instead of 2... Just like the Full Flame stadium as some people already said...

Hey, bro. Relax. Take a chill pill. The only person raging here is you.

People get confused about this topic because of a simple reason; if you took the sentence and truly analyzed it in comparison to the rules, then it grammatically doesn't say anything about stacking (I understand that it does NOT stack; however, please tell me where it says in the Ability that specifically says that it does not.). You have to know the game to know that it doesn't stack. And some people know rulings more than others, which is proven by the fact that people are still confused about the card.

So if you have four volcarona out, and the opponent is burned. Then they flip a tails, will that do 160 damage?

I really do not understand why the Ability is so hard for you guys to understand.

Volcarona's Ability changes the damage you get from Burned. That's it. There is no stacking. If your Pokemon is burned and you flip tails, you take 40. Its Ability is just redefining the amount of damage your opponent takes. If you have 2+ out, the new definition for burn damage is still the same. It's like a judge at an event saying, "You must all sign your name on the sign-in sheet." Even if four judges say it, that doesn't mean you sign your name four times. The wording may be off (after all, the card image is very small), but that's the intent.

Google translate: As long as this Pokemon, Pokemon burns with love, will put in four burn damage

lol

Much easier to understand now :>

hm hm hm. I love your example!

And it's not that I doubt Bangiras' translation, it's just that I doubt any stacking with be involved--it's just wishful thinking.

I think we might see a Rayquaza EX here seeing as how Groudon and Kyogre were EX in BW3. Though Rayquaza seems more of a Pokemon that would be the cover Pokemon so I highly doubt it. I'm thinking 3-5 EX cards for this set.

I hope the art is good like in BW3.

 

[Zekrom Black]

Zoarark EX and Darkrai EX will probably be in the set. If there is a Piplup, it's evolutions and mayebe even the other 4th generation starters will most likely be in the set. Zekrom Dark-type would be AWESOME!!!!!

You obviously got here after the front page update Xl
No stacking. Flip for 4.
