Chien-Pao, Gastrodon, Cofagrigus, Maushold from “Supercharged Breaker!”

[Grim Thoughts]

I love that Chien-Pao is basically just Pumpkaboo lmao

Slaking EX's friend has arrived, gastrodon

Slaking ex doesn't need this even if it would work for active because most decks play ex or V anyway and add 2 Terapagos ex as 2nd attacker if opponent has no ex or V in play

Why haven’t they released the Full Art of him before the SIR?? We will certainly get one - I feel like thy usually release lower rarity first

Anywho - I am already upset that I won’t pull any of these beauties a-La Paradox and Paldea Evolved- these BIGG sets just never seem deliver the cards to my binders the way the more direct sets like Obsidan and Stellar have

They rarely reveal FAs, it's usually AR and SARs before the set releases and we get the FAs from early product openings.

This Hydreigon ex may be the first Special Illustration that I'm actually looking forward to. Both of those artworks, actually. Cofagrigus and Chien-Pao also look incredible.

gastrodon is gonna be the bane of the pidgeot engine. quick search is worth bringing it up, but without a switch item you're not getting much out of it.

 

[Edmanbosch]

Gastrodon is kind of cool. Gives back hope for H-on, since it directly counters Marnie's Grimmsnarl.

Marnie's Grimmsnarl ain't that good man

Im the only one that isn’t living these „cool pokemon“ SIRs hu?

 

[Nintenfreak]

I think it's cute someone at Creatures thinks we'll have a 6 Maushold deck.

 

[Charmaster:)]

I dont think Gastrodon is so much of a problem for Gardevoir, with that 3 retreat cost is just a gift for Gardevoir... stamp + catcher + cave Jigglypuff and Gardevoir player will severely punish Gastrodon player back

Honestly I feel that Gastrodon severely shut down Charizard deck (Pidgeot, Charizard and Dusknoir) and not that much else, sure will annoy other decks playing Dusknoir but they can still use Dusclops anyway

Better yet, Gardevoir ex might be able to safely get promoted to the active after a Knockout, attach Energy to itself to pay for its retreat cost, and then attach Energy to a benched Pokémon.

Also, about the Charizard matchup.

Slug: "Hello."
Charizard: *Rare Candy Duskull, Dusknoir uses Cursed Blast, promotes Pidgeot ex, Pidgeot ex uses Quick Search, retreats for free into Charmander, Rare Candy Charmander into Charizard ex, Charizard ex uses Infernal Reign, Burning Darkness for Knockout.*
