News 'Islands Waiting for You' and 'Moonlight of Alola': Japan's Next Sun and Moon TCG Set!

[Nyora]

All we need now is a Water Spear attack and Water Ball attack

 

[ReapThaWhirlwind]

This is the last Type that needed this Metal or Lightning would have been a lot better I think.

 

[fr33land]

Lots of leaf types to hit them for weakness? Or maybe not so much since they seem to be Ice types.

 

[Metalizard]

What about Metagross GX?

On the other sub-set, I think. They only revealed 3 GXs from that one, if I'm not wrong.

 

[killrnite]

Boom!!! Primarina just became viable and quite the interesting play. Unfortunately, poor typing at the moment but with FOGP rotating (probably) grass becomes a little bit less of a concern.

 

[Maserati777]

Man do I wish this was regular Ninetales.

 

[Rooie]

Avalugg (STS 37) just became a lot more viable. Combine it with Mallow and you can mill at least 6 cards per turn.

 

[Gengar master]

Oh boy, here comes water!

 

[Yog]

Called it.

I feel like between this and Primarina-GX and a few other high attachment [W] mons, there must be some kind of nu-Blastoise card on the horizon. Unless we are supposed to be healing off all damage until Golduck Break can come into play. Very odd.

..kinda.

 

[SirKnight]

I suppose the biggest issue with Dark Patch was that Battle Compressor made it completely stupid (also there's not a big bulky basic standard Water Pokemon doing more damage for each energy attached)

No pokemon fit those requirements in standard right now... but primarina gx though!

 

[AuraStormLucario]

This is awesome

 

[MegaCentral]

Can't we get more fire support instead so I can play Delphox?

good idea, make volcanion an even better deck

 

[Lorde]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!! Will actually buy three of the fullarts from ebay because it's my favorite Pokemon as a GX.

 

[Anthony Orosco]

Magikarp is going to be so OP.

SS+ tier?

 

[Mr. Rhyperior]

It does seem like it's not in these sets. I'm assuming it will appear in the SM2+ expansion, since it is featured on the pack artwork (along with the rest of the Tapus, Lycanroc Midnight and Darkrai), so there is a possibility of it appearing in our third set.

See? Bulu and Fini will be on the Necrozma set. Well, Bulu has its own Tin.

MY EVALUATIONS

• Aqua Patch - I am listening to @google's video right now. This is good! Lapras, Primal Fish, and some Water Pokemon love it! <3

 

[Lanstar]

Wow... Aqua Patch will really be quite useful for a first turn Palkia-EX setup - which could be a great engine for lots of water strategies. Now, figuring out the best way to integrate it into a competitive deck... That will still be very tricky, given the meta is so much about minimal energy, energy denial, or the 'X-ball' effect against opponents.

 

[Yumikora]

expanded watertool box with toad will be insane with this card

 

[Athena]

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

• Trevenant and Phantump from SM2!

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

 

[Miatog]

That first attack is.....interesting...I'm not sure it'll do much though. It seems like people are trying to dump trainers out of their hands as fast as possible...

Not if I turn 1 Vileplume
