YES! CHARIZARD BOMBS EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!

150 with one discard for {R} and 2 DCE ain't half bad, either.

And then Hammertime spams Enhanced Hammer. Good game sir.
 
Wait wait, is Ditto translated correctly? It is quite useless if this is true, however if it's abillity is put ANY pokémon on it and have it be an basic Pokémon, it will be a format changer.
You could put Emboar or Gothitelle in play in round 1 if that's the case!?

Ditto – Colorless – HP70
Basic Pokemon

Ability: Transform
During your turn, you may play a (Basic?) Pokemon from your hand onto this Pokemon. This Pokemon is treated as that Basic Pokemon. (Any cards, damage counters, and conditions on this Pokemon are placed on the Basic Pokemon.)

Weakness: FIghting (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 1

--bunch of corrections--

See, this is why I can't into errata. Maybe I should compile a list of correct errata and stuff.

Changes duly noted and edits duly enacted.
 
Keldeo Blastoise with:
SSU
Darkrai EX for retreating
Terrakion with WLFM for dem annoying Dorkrais lol
Tool Scrapper (shoo Garbodor and eviolite. Nobody loves you)
It will be meta, maybe Tier 2-3. Cilan and bicycle make it amazing.
Keldeo hits the Magic 130. :D
 
@Sturm: It says Basic Pokemon. Look at the card; see that little bit in bold? That says "Basic".

Standardization is good! I was mostly going off memory on what I saw you guys write in the translations.
 
Rundown of the playable pokemon IMO

Freeze Bolt
Vileplume - not convinced on this one since most stuff already gets OHKOed as it is but I could see a 6 corners variant made with weaker pokemon with cheap attack costs
Jellicent - not sure how much space you could devote to this guy in a deck but any stackable bench-sitting ability that increases your opponents retreat cost has got to have some merit
Cresselia EX - I love this card. I definitely see it getting its moment to shine at some point. Would be a great addition to the EX-centric version of Reshiboar (don't flame) or even Goth/Reuniclus if that deck even saw play
Landorus EX - T1 spread? Yes please. I think his retreat cost makes no sense, in terms of being faithful to the video games, but I guess that at least makes him searchable by heavy ball
Raticate - his second attack just has too much potential.

Cold Flare
Celebi EX - maybe I'm just biased because I love Celebi, but I feel like that ability will have its use at some point
Blastoise - Rain Dance is back. The obvious choice is to pair him with Keldeo, but I wouldn't mind seeing him used with Wailord either.
Keldeo EX - solid attack that has an obvious combo, and a neat ability too
Dusknoir - I have no idea what deck this dude fits into right now, but that ability is too great to not be used.
Crustle - in a game full of OHKOs this guy could at the very least make for a fun league deck . Maybe pair him with a ton of healing crap, idk.
Stoutland - I rather use Goth to shut off items, but supporter lock is definitely very powerful, especially when your opponent has a dead hand
 
Rain Dance Blastoise makes its return and gets another suitable abuser. Yaaaaaaaay! =D

Pretty dang sure it's translated correctly.

へんしん ー このポケモンは、自分の番に、手札からたねポケモンをこのカードの上にかさねて、そのポケモンになれる。

たねポケモン refers directly to basic pokemon.
 
Okay thanks! :)

I know absolutly no japanese, I just thought it was a wierd if not pointless abillity to have.
Anyway great job on these translations!

No problem.

All right, I'm going to sleep. Fansubbing Chitose + Genesect translation + BW6 translation has killed my brain. I'll answer any questions about the translations tomorrow morning when I wake up.

Really good list but you could take out crustle and jellicent. Flygon is also playable and what about Mamoswine/Fliptini? OHKO everthing.
For me Raticate is broken. Attach it a rocky helmet and you can't get attack or the defending pokemon is KO.
 
Has anyone thought Galvantula/Eels?

Galvantula - Electric - HP80
Stage 1 - Evolves from Joltik

[L] Discharge: 30x damage. Discard all [L] Energy attached to this Pokemon. This attack does 30 damage times the number of cards discarded in this way.
[C][C] Signal Beam: 30 damage. Flip a coin. If heads, the defending Pokemon is now Confused.

Weakness: Fighting (x2)
Resistance: none
Retreat: 0

the opponent runs darkrai/hydreigon, move all energies away, max potion, move energies back and sweeps. rattata has 30hp which is darkrai's favorite. nevertheless raticate is so much interesting. maybe paired with amoongus, even thou 2 stage 2's and a 3-energy attack is a bit clunky.. we'll see.

Stage 1, 80 HP, Zekrom does the same thing but better.

Need I go on?

Hmm... Well, it could have SOME use. It can KO any EX for 6 energy, and it's quite good against Durant. 2 Galvantula, 3 Eels and 3 {L} in the discard, you get an Instant KO streak.

Be realistic. When are you ever going to have 6 Energy on a Galvantula.

Durant sees little-to-no play in Japan's BW-on format.

I might as well run Raikou-EX then. 100 snipe, more HP, Basic Pokemon.

EDIT: Also, Cresselia-EX is mistranslated. It heals damage only from itself, not from each of your Pokemon.

Well I thought of that. Trainer lock for stopping potion, max potion and golden potion but the only one left is Gothitelle which must be in the active spot. For the 30 HP there you can have the new gym and it won't affect your strategy.

Welp, I guess we'll never get a good one.

the new gym will be fine. trainer lock with goth is simply not viable: 2 stage 2's along with a stage 3 which has to be on the active spot for its ability to be triggered is nightmare. raticate is fot the OHKO every turn otherwise it's trash. the only way i see now is the amoongus combo.. which seems pretty much broken, actually.
