(1) 'Freeze Bolt' and 'Cold Flare' Scans, Translations Coming Soon! [7/11]

[Setosama]

Well, they reprint my favorite Legendary... AND IT SUCKS..

I'll give cookies to who ever can find a way to sucsefully cure Cresselia EX's totally horribleness. Also, the Kyurem formes just plain suck. They each get KO'd by other dragons, and with Ace Specs, they kO themselves.

I'm also hatin on Japan for making Terrakion again...

STFU! It's a SHINY Terrakion! One of the best shinies in the game! I want it! And I want them to make a Shiny Haxorus next!

I'm getting really tired about people complaining about the Shiny Terrakion. It's a good Shiny Card. It's a card that's widely used so no duh it's gonna get a reprint. What I don't get are the shiny items.

 

[MrGatr]

... I have been haten on Terrakion since it came out... It just bugs me.

The Shiny items are great, and such

The thing that I don't like about Ditto is that without Junk Arm and Dual Ball and cards like that, it makes it a lot harder to get Ditto and then also get the basic plus the evolution the next turn.

 

[MrGatr]

I don't see how Ditto is so amazing...

 

[Futa]

I don't see how Ditto is so amazing...

The surprise factor and potentially taking up less Bench space in decks that require multiple Stage 2's set up.

 

[Water Pokémon Master]

Also if Ditto has been out for more than one turn, you can evolve the new Basic as soon as you put it down.

 

[DNA]

Also if Ditto has been out for more than one turn, you can evolve the new Basic as soon as you put it down.

The confirmation of this statement has made potential theorymon players very happy.

 

[MrGatr]

Oh, so it's like a place holder now??

 

[SSBBDaisy]

So ditto's only real use is speeding up the evolution process of pokemon? I guess it can combo with rare candy.

Also audino looks like a good card o_0. I mean it would be a great 1 tech IMO. That 1 damage matters sometimes it can be a game breaker and removing paralysis is even better. And wtf that stoutland is OP.

 

[Spidy]

Also if Ditto has been out for more than one turn, you can evolve the new Basic as soon as you put it down.

Its only real use there is for extremely low hp basics, like solosis and tynamo, to deny easy prizes on them. But i dont know if its worth the constancy.

 

[Puff-Sun]

Do we have confirmation about the EX rule? because the way I'm reading it, you could turn into an EX but still only give up 1 prize.

 

[Water Pokémon Master]

The card becomes the EX, so no, that scheme ain't gonna happen. The only thing that the new Basic inherits from Ditto is how long it's been out on the field, card attachments, and whatever may have happened to it (damage, Special Conditions, etc.).

 

[don()shinobi]

Well, that makes Ditto completely and utterly worthless.

 

[DNA]

Well, that makes Ditto completely and utterly worthless.

The only thing it's worth is for surprise factor. It could work, but honestly I doubt it. This format isn't really one where you can take people by surprise anymore.

 

[alex]

Well, that makes Ditto completely and utterly worthless.

That would make it have numerous uses. Maybe not in Darkrai/Hydreigon, but in Garchomp and other stage 2 decks with multiple Evolution lines it could be quite helpful. It could also be helpful in other decks that only need 1 of the Evolution line they are getting. When you put 2 of the basics of that Evolution line down in case one gets KOed, if one doesn't get KOed you just have a basic there with nothing to do with it. If you put down 2 Dittos instead, you could evolve one into the Stage1/2 you needed, and evolve the other into something else you needed, or even just a basic.

Ditto can also be used for a surprise factor. Your opponent could have no idea what the stage 2 in your deck might be, or you could even use it to transform into a fully charged basic or EX, instead of needing to charge up the basic or EX on your bench which would put it at risk of Catcher.

 

[Blui]

I'm glad to see a Ditto that isn't useless, and that can confuse your opponents.
I hope that there will be a meta Poison deck with Gliscor...

 

[GHOST OZONE]

little off topic but, the explouds first attack that ditches all trainers. it ditches supports yes? and does anyone see potential for a strong round deck here?

 

[Blui]

No, Supporters are a different type of card. So Exploud's attack only gets rid of Trainers (this include Pokemon Tools)

 

[Futa]

No, Supporters are a different type of card. So Exploud's attack only gets rid of Trainers (this include Pokemon Tools)

To be more specific, Exploud's attack gets rid of Items, not Trainers (stupid name change).

 

[GHOST OZONE]

Any love for scizor: possible fast ex counter?

scolipede: a poison shutdown deck with 2-3 jelli bench sitters?
This is using virbank gym -
-assume scolipede is promoted and the opponents tornadus (lets say its tornadus fully charged) is gonna cop scolipedes attack and has been poisoned since it just killed a whirlipede. tornadus would have taken 30 damage from poison in between turns (it is at 140 hp). scolipede uses venoshock for 120, which bring torny down to 20 hp, then in between turns he takes 30. and dies. so potentially even is torny had 180 hp (like most EX's he can be one shotted if poisoned. Remember jellicents (2 minimum) are in play so retreat is unlikely. Ifit makes u feel better the ex can kyurem or gigas just because with jelli's in play they will have a huge retreat.
