No it says Sugimori
News Japan's SM3 Sets for the 20th Movie Feature Ho-Oh and Necrozma!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
He's talking about the Ribombee, whose artwork is by Megumi Mizutani, and I think you're thinking of Plumeria, which has artwork by Sugimori
Please reprint Cobalion-EX in this set, TPCi.... Please..?
Muscle Dumbells would be so cool if Stage 1s actually deserved any support, but they already have a bit too much power. Some Stage 2 love would be nice.
This might even be helpful for getting out a Archie/Maxie play
His attack isnt affected by Weakness :3
Righteous Edge with a bunch of Dhelmise benched and a Choice Band equipped definately is.
I think it seems pretty clear they want to emphasize certain cards like Magnezone (which we haven't seen go to town yet), Vikavolt, Metagross, etc. Your special energy isn't safe on the board, so you need to focus more on basic energies...and that means using alternate means to hit those magic numbers.
To be honest, I don't mind this. I have been looking for an excuse to run a Magnezone engine anyway LOL!
You're on the right path here~
Remember people, discarding cards is not strictly a bad thing.
With Oranguru being one of our only draw options (post-rotation), discarding can actually help fix your hand.
A lot of decks interact with the discard pile.
I think the main problem with Plumeria is, it's effect is a sort of... "half-strategy."
The effect, while good, isn't always necessary.
A lot of the time, you can just discard with an Ultra Ball.
Sure, you can fetch this with Lele, but... you could also just fetch Skyla, and grab an Ultra-Ball.
Most of the time, using an Ultra Ball will help you out more.
But, based on the deck, I could see this being favored over Flare Grunt.
As @Gengar master said; this could help with things like Archie.
The problem is, it's a supporter, so you wouldn't be able to Archie that turn anyways.
Though, that is also a strength of this card.
I can see this potentially replacing crushing hammers, to avoid feeding into a Garbodor.
But, you might end up discarding items just to play it... so, who knows...
Would work well in my (WIP)Chandelure deck tho~
TL;DR It's an interesting tempo card, but it's niche is more-or-less filled already.
True, but his main attack isnt. To OHKO a Muscle Dumbelled Sylveon with Righteous Edge you'd need 4 Dhelmise, a Choice Band, and Kukui.
Discarding is not bad in Pokémon, it allows set ups with shaymin and octillery along with patches and seeker fodder. Crushing hammer is not as good as this. You would have to play at least 3 hammers in your deck which means you take up a few extra spots in your deck plus it is a coin flip, already a liability
I like the overall direction they've been taking with supporter cards in this era, all of them (with the notable exception of being able to use Kiawe on t1) require some thought to use effectively. Once VS Seeker is gone I think we'll start seeing a huge number of different supporter lineups unlike now where it's basically 2 Lysandre, some mix of N and Sycamore that adds up to 6 or 7, then a few tech supporters depending on your deck with a lot of them (Olympia, Delinquent, ect) being so common they're also almost standard.
I am quite worried about Sylveon now
Should we all start playing volcanion?
Should we all start playing volcanion?
Personally I think they just need to undo the rare candy errata(or mod it so you can do 1st turn but no gx), the errata and the time it was introduced never made sense to me, stage 2s had their best tool ripped away and in the same set darkrai dropped and the big basic era officially started
Does anyone know when burning shadows booster boxes will be able to be purchased. I'm only getting one but i want it as soon as possible. thx
what if you get 2 heads on your team rockets handiwork
