A ludicolo ex would go crazy but IMAGINE a Mega Ludicolo. On the topic of exs I hope they go back to the sort of Black and White XY era of ex cards with the black boards and gold text, kinda like the exs in Pokect. Idk just the gold makes a regular ex feel more special then silver 🤷. ALSO THEY BETTER BRING BACK THE JAPANESE WRITING IT LOOKED SICK, but.. ahem now I actually kinda want a Mega Ludicolo...could be sick 😂
 
Very interesting ability. It replaces Swelling Tune from F Regulation; It now applies to all of your Pokemon in exchange for it being a Stage 2 instead of a Stage 1. I can see this be used with Mamoswine ex to bloat its HP, and it tips Pidgeot ex into the 300's, allowing it to survive a majority of attacks.

A 40HP boost isn't enough for players to consider wasting deck space for this line in a Mamo/Pidgeot build. Rare Candy is too finite a resource.
 
I mean it puts Charizard up to 370, and most decks only shoot for 360 as a damage cap. Survives a lot of things hitting it for weakness (Iron Leaves ex specifically) just the problem of another Stage 2 in the deck, do you play it over Dusknoir or is that too much to give up

I could imagine running a copy or two of this in a Tatsugiri ex deck, that's not rotating any time soon...

The purpose of the trainer's pokemon mechanic is to create archetypes for decks in the same way as stuff like the different strike styles, attaching random trainers to every pokemon would harm the cards usability for their entire life in standard and beyond
