RE: (1) All Bonds to the End of Time Images and Translations [12/19]
Vaporeon is pretty awesome for a stage 1. Just bring out a jolteon/froslass and damage the whole bench, then use neoteny, play vaporeon, then snipe for 60. Just use neoteny every turn to snipe for 60 every turn.
Alakazam Lv.X is like base set alakazam all over again. Well, for an SP deck.
Lucario's poke-body is like a double-edged sword. Unless you're playing an SP deck.
Oh god, hippowdon is awesome. Stock Sand is just like blissey MT's attack. Sand Reset is just awesome, especially when your opponent just got that 10th energy in play to deal 130 damage with verdant dance. Double Shoot is like Double Launcher, except it does 20 less damage a benched poke and it can be used every turn. Huh? What's that? Do I hear Regirock and Stark Mountain coming?
Shiftry=awesomeness. You confused by ol' grumpig? You take 60 damage a turn and they can't attack. Oh, you want to retreat? I'd say 1-2 ariados MT can fix that. Your blastoise wants to use well digging? Too bad, I just use Block. I'm telling you, this thing is INSANE.
Jirachi is awesome. You can use the effect of 2 supporters per turn! You want to use 2 roseanne's? Wish granted. 2 bebe's? You can do that. And when jirachi's knocked out, you can get ANY CARD. You finally set up? Hello, rare candy.
Eevee is a good basic in an eeveelution deck. Just plop down a lightning energy, use its first attack, and get a jolteon. Next turn, attach another lightning energy, and play down jolteon. 50 + 10 spread by T2? NICE.
Kecleon is interesting. With lake boundary/lucario GL, hit pretty much everything for double damage. If you're lucky, 140 damage for 3 energy. I call it Sir Flip Alot.
In an SP deck, G-109 SP Radar is basically a bebe's. Awesomeness.
Underground Expedition seems like it combos with Claydol. What if you need to use its poke-power and all the cards in your hand are important? Just get 'em back with Underground Expedition.
Although I wanted double colorless energy to be reprinted, Upper Energy is pretty close. Like a poor man's Boost Energy. Or in this format, the only thing close to a Boost Energy.
Vespiquen 4's attack is pretty much like Hippowdon MD's second attack, only dealing 20 less damage. Huh, what's this? I see a Leafeon Lv.X and Sceptile GE on the horizon. What? You want to combo with this new vespiquen? Go ahead!
Drapion 4 is nice for a basic. Its 2nd attack is pretty much the same thing as aggron's 3rd attack, but this is on a basic. Awesomeness. Expect to see this at prereleases in about 5 months.
Flint's Spirit works well with Vespiquen 4. Another energy, another chance to do 20 more damage. With Leafeon Lv.X(assuming you leveled up from the leafeon in this set), that's 4 energy cards per turn. With Sceptile GE, that's like attaching 8 energy per turn. AWESOMENESS!
Yeah, that's pretty much all my coverage of this set. I really want Hippowdon Lv.X...
