'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

[Dark Espeon]

Nice tech in several Fairy decks including Gardevoir, Rainbow Road, Sylveon, and Xerneas Break.

As if Gardy wasn't strong enough already.. come on

This is them regretting their decision when they made metal overpowered when they regretted their decision when they made gardy overpowered.

Lady Outing has been reprinted!! Except this time it is 4 energies, not 3.

[Green778]

Pretty much a 1-card Rare Candy AND Gardevoir after the KO. Which means that this card fixes Gardevoirs biggest problem: Setting up a second attacker after the first one has been KOd

 

[Volkner123]

Ugh another Alolan Exeggutor. I mean it is a cool pokemon but if a pokemon appears in three sets in a row it kinda get's a little dull if you ask me

*That moment you realize that Diantha is a teammates re-skin with a handicap*

If you mean by handicap the "Fairy" pokemon synergy then yes. However, it is much stronger than teamates for 2 reasons: Multiple usage and Recycle of Ace Spec Cards in Expanded, The reverse of Twins/Teamates: Great for lategame which makes it more accessible for the last resources needed to win. So, with those two combined I believe it's stronger in a Gardevoir deck than a Teammates card. However, in general terms, the Fairy handicap does in fact cripple its use. If else then this card would've been *too strong*

 

[DragonBeamTCG51215]

Just when you thought Gardy couldn't get any more broken

 

[AlphaVoxel]

Personally, I don't really think that this will make Gardevoir more broken. Honestly, I think it gives it a better chance with all of the Metal support currently--and soon to be, for that matter--in the format.

 

[Andrewninja4]

I see no particular reason a DIANTHA card would need to have any synergy with GARDEVOIR. Maybe it's just a coincidence?

Isn't Gardevoir one of Diantha's Pokemon?
Or was that sarcasm

Yes, she had a Mega Gardevoir, as part of her team.

 

[Serperior]

TPCi: Garbodor is everywhere. We gotta do something.

*Prints Gardevoir-GX*

TPCi: Ah man, Gardy's too OP. We gotta do something.

*Prints Metal support*

TPCi: Shoot, the hate is too obvious. We gotta do something.

*Prints Diantha*

TPCi: ALL BETTER

Hey, these little comic strip type things are my thing, K?

Just wanna make sure we're clear.

 

[Gwenom]

Are we getting a full art Diantha?! I personally like her more than Cynthia.

 

[KK-Swizzle]

This card would actually be a good 1 of in a Sylveon deck, if you can't heal your Sylveon that turn and you know it's gonna die, you can just ribbon for it.

yeah, definitely better in sylveon mill than in gardy

 

[Kyrushi]

Honestly wish it was for dragons instead. We're still missing decent support for the type. They made the type better by making them not need two types of energy anymore, but they still need tools to make them worth including in a deck. Plus it'd just make more sense when she has more dragons than fairies on her team. :/

A new story has just been posted to PokéBeach's front page:

• Xerneas-GX from SM6 'Forbidden Light!'

Posts you make after this point will immediately appear on the front page and vice versa. Discuss!

 

[Sorpah]

Good enough. I'll take it.

 

[Chicken Nugget Master]

Decent I guess. Maybe combo it with cards like Po Town. At least we know we're not getting metal Dialga and water Palkia now.

 

[MultX]

Average I think. But GX-attack can be nice in some circumstances, not that often though.
