But if you're playing a full Dark type deck (Or that the main attackers are dark types at least) you are better off with Reverse Valley. I see this new stadium card a bit pointless when it comes to dark type decks since, again, we have Reverse Valley.
In Darkness deck focused on Zoroark Float Stone and Stand In are alternate retreat options that can be used while Zoroark can still hit for 170 with the stadium card out and a full bench on the opponent's side. It is identical to Reverse Valley in most cases. The exception is the mirror match where Reverse Valley is clearly better and Metagross GX where Reverse Valley is clearly inferior.
Sure, if a dark type deck is facing a Metagross deck, Reverse valley won't really matter. But nowadays not many people are playing dark decks in general, with exceptions of course (Darkrai decks and Zoroark BREAK/ Drampa GX deck being the first two to come to mind) But anyways, I'd still go with Reverse Valley in most cases.
Inb4 we get dual energies, not special energy, not basic energy, but dual energies set into there own typing. No way to return them, and can still be waxed by Flare Grunt, Hammers, etc.
There has been a really long and interesting discussion we had on this topic on this thread:
http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/threads/does-dragon-need-a-basic-energy-type.140835/
Some really interesting views were made. Loads of different ideas on how the creators could approach the Dragon type in future.
Is this Pokemon? I thought I was looking at MTG for a second there.
Wait... Is this defending Pokemon, or opponent's Active Pokemon!?
If it's defending Pokemon, attacks that hit everything at once will be boosted

The real question is why is it not for dragon/fairy
Defending Pokémon is a common phrase for active Pokémon in Japan. Ravaged Plains works like Reverse Valley but also includes Dragon types.
Because Gardevoir doesn't need more damage.
If it did +20 it would be playable, but maybe outside of Noivern, I don't see it being used in any deck.
They really do need to do something to buff Dragon-types, but also agree that DDE is a little too powerful. Maybe a DDE that works similar to Rainbow Energy where you place a damage counter or two on the Pokemon or something.

That's awful. Dragons are horrible and shouldn't be a type, Dark types are mediocre, 10 is nothing.
Will there be a Kartana GX in the set because he is my fav UB
we dont want noivern blocking items for 100 damage a hit
Would probably be like that old special energy (can't think of which one to save my life, but I know one had it) that had the side effect that all damage from the Pokemon that it was attached to was reduced by 10, which would make sense as to why this stadium is being printed
EDIT: Just looked it up, it was Double Rainbow Energy, which would be really cool to see it be reprinted (would make Darkrai-EX crazy OP, though)

For Noivern GX it makes distort hit for 90 (with choice band) which 2 shots most basic GX and 3 shots all GX
Dark types already have Altar of the Moone, and dragon types you can pretty much say goodbye to.
This has no relevance whatsoever.
