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

I quite like the idea of this deck.

Me too, I drew up a potential list even. I just don't have high hopes. Fingers crossed some genius comes in and makes it work cause I do think it has synergy. But as you noted, synergy isn't quite enough when you're dealing with multiple stage 2s. Oh well, sorry Metagross.

Wait a second. Where is Brooklet Hill? Replace Rare Candy. We'll already have it in Sun&Moon Base Set.
 
You forgot that every Checklane and 3 pack blisters has a code card for PTCGO.
Well, one point for @steffenka! He comment on the spoiler set list recently.

SM Promo nos.?

I'm probably going to get 1-2 of those Lurantis blisters. They're great with the Lurantis GX making flower supply do 60 for just 1 energy.
 
Whelp! I thought Lurantis would be included in the set - going to be picking up a few of these blisters instead then!
I though that these were in the set as wel, are we sure that they are not and they are just promos?

To be fair, they would likely have to reprint Formantis from SM1 to make the card playable out of the box. We don't need another Marowak situation.

We will EXpect a Marowak situation in Guardians Rising.

If Japan keep releasing Strengthening Expansion stuff, Marowak situation still happens in the future English sets

'Sunny Day' was the kind of move I was hoping Castform would get.

Darn good card either way :)
 
Silly people think this goes with Lurantis GX... who shares Fomantis with this card, which is not a good thing considering you would want a lot of these, not a small amount.

Golisopod, on the other hand, would love help from this thing. It helps it cover the fact that its attack is really bad vs Non-EX/GX Pokemon and allows it to nab OHKOs it couldn't otherwise. Awesome, indeed.
