Cinccino and Zoroark will have a major effect on the Meta Game

Yes, I know Mega is also a stage one. That is why I said Mega will not be faster, they will take the same time to set up.

Without BTS you have to play a basic one turn and the evolution the next no matter what stage it is.

Since Donphan only needs one energy it will actually be easier to set him up then Yanmega. In order to match hands you need to get Yanma/Yanmega/Copycat or Judge. With Donphan you only need Phanpy/Donphan/Fighting Energy. You can use your supporter for the turn to get your Donphan you don't have to waste it trying to get your hands to equal size.

I know Mega does 70 and Donphan 60 with bench damage. However, it is far harder to knock out a Donphan then a Yanmega.
 
Since i said what i said b/4 they were doing Midseason rotation i'd like to that back, they are beast for Nats and lol are my current deck and tbh Yanmega owns donphan.
 
i play yanmega, and its just as fast as donphan
yanmega is better imo because its just as hard to KO as you can swarm yanmegas and heal them with serperior
magnezone pairs great with yanmega and judge and can cause good disruption to your opponent while increasing your draw power.
not to mention that magnezone can take out anything yanmega cant.

yanmega also has snipe, which is better than donphan as it alows more choices and strategies
(pokemon circulator, pokemon reversal, pokemon catcher-when it comes out)
 
I have been playing Yanmega for 5 months, and I can say it is really easy to have the same number of cards in your hand, just playing trainers, copycat/judge or looking for pokemon with Sunflora. That is one thing that Donphan misses: Sunflora's search power.
I want to get Zerkrom in my hands since I want to try a deck with him. And Cincinno is really powerful, I would have to take care with him :S
 
I think that both Zoroark and Cinccino will have a good presence in the Metagame, but nothing too game-changing

Zoroark has Nasty Plot running for it, and that tasty 100 HP. Since it can be used like Bouffalant to revenge KO Zekrom, it also has a good niche as a defensive tech in that regard for decks that run Dark or Rainbow energy. But, it still suffers from being unable to do anything offensively unless your opponent also has the capacity to do so.

Cinccino can easily be splashed throughout the format if you want a cheap hard hitting attacker. 100 for CC is very good, although not game breaking. I wouldn't trust him to hold up a deck on his own, but he could do very well depending on what partners he is paired with.
 
^^ Zekrom Donk is going to be popular. I'm currently trying to perfect the build as I type this. (Not easy getting ALL the cards I need to play test, Shaymins and Pachis are hard to get :(). Other than that, I got the skill to turn it into a tanker, but need the right cards at the right time to pull THAT off.
