Defiant Band from “Scarlet ex”!

[JustInBasil]

Defiant Band has been revealed from ‘Scarlet ex’! Cards from the Japanese sets Scarlet ex and Violet ex will combine with any additional new cards from the three Japanese ex Starter sets to make up the majority of our Scarlet & Violet base set in March.

I could see this getting lots of play as our new Damage increasing Band over choice belt when V's start losing play.

Competitive Band - I love this card already. Being behind on prizes is easy to deal with. Even better if we have cards in the future that took adv of being behind on prizes. 5

 

[ProfesserPopplio]

Definitely better once Vs fall off, it’s nice that it goes a general 30 more damage then just 30 more to Vs

 

[Da idiot]

This is good card design

I highly doubt more than 40% of a metagame will play this card as a staple, due to it’s coming from behind drawback, but it should see a lot of play

4/5

On top of everything else, this will be another GLC staple.

Also, I'm surprised how few cards were revealed from these sets before the full reveal next week.

Weird seeing this as choice belt will be reprinted along with these sets. However, definitely welcomed. 100% gonna see more play than choice belt upon release and as more ex's release. Still kinda odd they didn't errata Choice Belt instead...

 

[Bewear The TERRIBLE]

Yay, prize counters are back! ??

 

[JustInBasil]

Choice Belt isn't being reprinted in SV. If you're talking about Crown Zenith, that's still F-mark.

Choice Belt *is* being reprinted in Scarlet & Violet, with the G regulation mark. It has the new Tool template and everything.

Choice Belt is not in Crown Zenith.

There will probably be a true "Choice" tool for ex eventually.

It is being reprinted with a g regulation mark. It's coming with the premium trainer box. Here it is.

 

[AtsaniCyan]

I actually see this being an expanded card rather than used in standard. There's several decks built around being behind on prizes and this card could add more viability to those decks.
Standard rating 3.5/5
expanded rating 4.5/5

Wha- Why tho!? What a pointless reprint. Might as well reprint Choice Band while they're at it.

 

[magikarp ex]

I'm pretty sure they said in the original reveal that there would be a great focus on coming back if you were losing this gen.

This looks like a great start and hoping for a functional "N" reprint

My first thought was "Huh, that's pretty weird". My second thought was "is there any pokemon that can hold two tools in standard?".

+60 damage jank, here I come!

Honchrow V can hold 4 Tools, but even that leaves its attack maxing out at 250.

 

[smich_01]

I love everything about this card. The right amount of balance while still being powerful in its own right. A great comeback card that will see plenty of play for sure.

Because tonight, tonight, tonight ohh-ohh
We're gonna reveal the set
Tonight, tonight, tonight ohh-ohh
