This is Awesome but i am disappointed in one thing Reverse Holos
Is it just me or could this clefairy be really good?? With FFB it gets 80hp and can do some massive damage with lysandre, mega catcher, pokemon catcher and escape rope to hit some crazy numbers, Im hypeeddddd
Agreed. This is the first XY set that I actually want to collect.
Pretty harsh to be honest. The recent sets had great artwork.

The only sets for Gen 5/6 which I would consider bad would be the first 2 black/whites sets and XY. Otherwise, they've moved on from the godawful generic 3d they used to use.
I agree with this. I'm coming around to the new templates, but that Arcanine does look... off. Possible because there's a lot of text. I'm also still not a fan of the EX template, but the Mega doesn't look too bad, neither does the full art.Cards with the new fonts seem to look better now but only on cards with little writing. Those like the Arcanine above look so fake with the new font and too much writing.
I think the HP is the biggest issue, but thanks to DCE and Max elixir because its basic, it doesnt really matter. You can run 2-3 super rod and then also have 2 dragonites, and Special charge. I also think that it would work really well with Geomancy xerneas break. That would be the best partner because it helps speed up clefairy, and it also helps xerneas break to sweep late game. I think that with mega catcher, and lysandre, as well as escape rope this deck will be really good at countering the meta. It trades huge damage thanks to the meta, and only gives 1 prize, and we have a very good sweeper for late game. I will be making this deck, and really looking forward to using it with DValley and mew fates collide in expanded where it can attack for a DCEI might run him in a fairy deck with the tool that adds 40 HP. He can be decent. Only issue is the low HP and losing 3 energy when it dies
IMO the peak of their 3D awfulness was in Plasma Storm/ Blast/ Freeze, and especially the Plasma Pokémon.
The early B&W 3D arts were better, because the lack of a background didn't put into context just how bad the model was, and why they decided to make it even worse with that blue glowing outline is a mystery.
Some B&W 3D arts looked legitimately good too, like the royal heal Serperior promo.
But let's not forget the derpiest of them all:
Granted, most EX prints from this era were crap, (Thundurus lmao) especially non-full art ones. But this Mew-EX is just in a league of its own, a card I would never want in a binder of mine even if I could flip it for 15 bucks immediately after.
I think he means the Team Plasma one.What are you talking about? Thundurus EX looks great
Primarily, but I find the vanilla one ugly too, the eyes look like gumballs and the material design (3D wise) is too glossy making him look like plastic. But this is a problem with almost all Pokémon-EXs that are 3D rendered artworks. They need to either make all these cards textured (not that it always helps, such as with full art Thundurus plasma) or tone down on the plastic glossy look.I think he means the Team Plasma one.

And honestly I think they need to be darker too, if they're going 3D, the more lit the model is, the worse it'll look, unless they make a lot of adjustments for the better.
The bottom Gallade-EX in the above post is a good example of an improvement, it's much more toned down and not as unnatural looking. Though it's still too saturated/ bright green, but that's more minor of a nuisance. Basically, if they could combine the colour tone of the top Gallade-EX with the material finish of the bottom one, it'd be better
So far no retro energy found after opening 5 packs. I pulled a full art Blastoise EX SR. The doom-mongers were right. It's very underwhelming. A glossy full art with mirror holo but no texture. It is, at least, flat. I'm vainly hoping for a Misty FA so to think this took a SR slot is painful.
Overall the set is duplicate mad on commons. Get ready for raticates coming out of your ears. Glad I only bought 1 box.
