(3) Megalo-Cannon, Pokemon TV and Meloetta, Pokemon Scramble U [2/12]

I can sum up this news with this image!

His ability works as a free catcher with every plasma energy... Now decks could have like 8 catchers thanks to this guy. Will Reshiram EX and Ho-Oh EX see a little more play if this guy is running around? I don't really play the card game, but just curious
 
Ho-Oh EX -> Genesect EX -> Keldeo EX -> Ho-Oh EX

Oh look, we have a true Pokemon rock-paper-scissors! I call dibs on the Grass starter.
Seriously, this pleases me immensely. I've been looking for a good Grass-type attacker for a while. The only other idea I had is [removed], but at least that one would be more splashable...

Either way, I wish to build this deck.
 
Wait, what was the only other idea you had O.==.O?!


Anyway, this Pokémon is SO impressive! Look, it has an Ability that functions just like Pokémon Catcher! Keep in mind though that this translation says Plasma Energy must be attached from hand in order to work. Which means, it wouldn't work with Colress Machine, right?

Anyway, it seems like quite an impressive Deck, and if you can make room for Ether, Pokédex, and Lunatone PLS, you can fire off Megalo Cannon on Turn 1. Wow. That's cool!
 
Pokemon TV isn't coming to Wii U as well? Well that's kind of hilarious... And lame.
 
So will this Genesect be printed in English before Worlds this year? Probably not right? Meaning that we are possibly in for another season of EX sets?
Not that I'm complaining, just pondering.
So with Plasma Freeze we get at least Deoxys and Thunderous as EXs, and now we see this Genesect what other EXs are out in japan that we dont have yet? And lastly what Legendaries are left that don't have an EX card? (I can think of Virizion, Suicune, Regice/Regirock and Arceus)
 
Genesect-EX - Grass - HP170
Basic Pokemon

Ability: Red Signal
You now have 8 Pokemon Catcher

[G][G][C] Megalo Cannon: Kill Keldeo EX, then do 20 damage to that pest mewtwo EX.


Well that's nice :D

Seriously though, grass types will finally be viable again. I mean, you have night spear and catcher in one evil deadly package! Also I could see this really working with Thundurus EX, a tech Lugia EX, and Plasma Frigate to get rid of your weakness and retrieve special energy from the discard. You could also throw in Deoxys EX for some extra damage if needed. Very nice.

(now watch them print a fire type version of sigilyph with a better attack! D: )
 
Looking forward to playing with this card!! OMG bye bye keledo ex!!! It was a nice deck while it lasted. Can't wait to get a hold of this card!!

Guys, the Genesect ex: 59/76. As for the regular one, cant tell. Also, a playable EX?Wow!

It's #10. If it were #59 that would mean there would be 58 other grass types.

The other card is a Corocoro promo.
 
Next format when there's no Catcher, Genesect-EX is going to be extremely broken. If you guys remember Luxray GL Lv.X, it's price was very high because of its ability. With Genesect-EX having a similar ability, I can imagine it being extremely broken. The large setback, however, this card has is energy acceleration. Unless there is a new form of energy acceleration for grass energies, Genesect would, if anything, only act as a benchsitter in Deoxys/Lugia/Thundurus builds because of its ability.

Also, Colress Machine doesn't work with Genesect's ability since it says that you have to attach the energy to it from your hand.

Maybe... maybe they decided to switch the cards types around.
 
Now that Porygon Z isn't looking half bad. Attach to Genesect, use the ability, move the energy from Genesect to an attacker.
And once Catcher leaves the format (well, the unbalancing really begins), Porygon Z can't be "catcher bait".
Calling a reprint catcher in this set with a different background just to troll with us.

Yeah, it will be the new Catcher... I mean you don't even need to attack with it. You can tech it into any Plasma deck as it doesn't need to be active for the ability to work.
 
There was a reprint of catcher in dark explorers, do you really think they'll rotate that many sets out?
Anyway, R.I.P. KeldeoEX. Watch them release something else that counts as plasma energy and/or some way to get plasma energy back to your hand easily to make this more insane. And the normal one seems like a fairly good starter for a potential Genesect deck. Near the same damage output and call for family. Sure, it's a limited not very good call for family, but it could work as a turn one attack.

Also, I know this being a grass type is great for countering Keldeo, but imagine if it was steel. Klinklang all of the decks.
 
By the way since it wasn't mentioned in the news story: the non-EX Genesect is actually a CoroCoro promo out next month. It's just the EX in Megalo Cannon.
