Lol Eevee-GX has more HP than Marshadow-GX. I know it's already stated above but I still can't help but call that hilarious. Anyway it's good. Maybe it doesn't have an ability that let's it immediately evolve unlike the SUM Eevee, but I do like the healing side of the effect if it manages to take a hit from a Zoroark-GX or untriggered FBL Buzzwole. Happy Maker is also nice for maybe getting back some Eeveelutions back to your hand.
Jolteon-GX is gonna use a heckin lot of support from the newer sets. Thunder Mountain / Counter Gain / Tapu Koko Prism Star to do 2HKO damage for one energy attachment, Eletripower to do even more damage, and that can add on very quickly (plus you still can attach Choice Band) and there's probably something else I'm missing. And you can also do the same thing with the GX attack except you force your opponent to use a Guzma on you which is super nice.
Vaporeon-GX, whatever I say about him I'm thankful he isn't a disaster like his EX counterpart. So many attackers that do X amount of damage and then do Y damage for each water energy attached to it. I mean at least it's a good Hydro Pump attack but I'm starting to feel if people use this with Quagsire (
for a single example) then Quagsire might have better partners than him. His bulk should be super nice though. This ability can stack so it has the potential to be really annoying when attempting to KO one of these guys, and if that wasn't enough it has
more healing on it's GX attack to undo everything. Although, that's an attack and not an ability, so....eh. Still better than Vapreon-EX. I just hate the previous Vaporeon so much
Flareon-GX looks among top tier in terms of first attacks of the Eeveelutions only. Attach 3 fire energies when you get them into your hand (
easy if you devote to it by playing cards like Fiery Flint), and it's on a basic pokemon essentially, simply by attaching to the SUM Eevee (
assuming it doesn't rotate by the time these come out, I hope not) and then letting loose. There's probably a couple possibilities with that attack, attach all 3 onto Reshiram-GX without it being in the active and GX attack next turn, attach to Flareon-GX and then some, that first attack is definitley nice, and if you were charging to the Flareon-GX then you can do
190 damage! (220 damage with band). My question is how would you constantly attach the energies afterwards (
assuming it discards 2 energies and not 1, if it only discarded one then it would be busted)? If that GX attack is what the translation's #1 guess is, that's pretty good. Use up all of your fire energies and then just attack for one energy. Maybe you won't get all the fire energy in your discard pile, but it does seem just pretty good in that specific instance.
A little bit disappointed that it looks impossible to make an Eeveelution deck using all the Eeveelutions for weakness (
since all the Eeveelutions need more cards committed to the strategy it wants, and unless of course someone here can prove me wrong), but in their own individual right they're good cards, and I'm happy about that.
