Rigid Band, Parasect from ‘Pokemon Card 151’!

[Orkymandias]

Parasect art is cool.

This set is nothing special so far. Overhyped for no reason

I'd hardly call it overhyped. This is very much a collector's set, not a player's set. So it's no surprise that most of the cards aren't especially noteworthy in regards to playability.

Parasect seems amazing for a meme version of Meowscarada ex or Venusaur ex, and might be useful in GLC.

VMAX/VSTAR Pokémon are not "Stage 1".

I didn't know that!

 

[N's Rhyperior]

Palkia vstar + DTE. Maybe radiant Blastoise too for damage counter placement

Isn't Rad Gre need to discard draw?

I am basically waiting for the trainers, SIR and IR for this set. It has the potential to have some really cool stuff for anyones collection. Personally hoping for something with my OG articuno featured

This art is nothing special too, generic modern set vibes

Ok, we have the trainer, now all we need... are actual playable stage 1s ?

 

[MagnaDrake]

Oinkologne is also a valid target for the band. It's already using Full Face Guard anyway, so either this is a straight upgrade or you can bring 8(!) damage reduction tools just to be extra annoying.

 

[Artifactor]

What the?? You can just straight put stage 2s/VStars/VMaxs on the bench? seems really awesome.

Yeah but its on a stage 1 pokemon with a coin flip requirement, whic by the time you can use the attack you would normally be able to just naturally play the vstars and vmax, its just too slow going this route i mean thats 3 turns gone

 

[jdubs4lief]

Relying on a coin flip on my second turn after using my energy attachment for the turn/previous turn only for it to result in two tails is a sure fire way of me conceding the match.

 

[fleshrum]

didn't an effect like this enable a mew EX lock deck in legacy at one point? Something to do with cradily?

VMAX/VSTAR Pokémon are not "Stage 1".

Thats a shame, really thought it would be good.

The outcome is neat on Parasect… but it’s a stage 1. This isn’t fast enough to be worth it. You can build a stage 1 in the same time and still attack that turn. You’d need a Pokémon willing to take the hit and enough justification as to why you aren’t just playing your target like a typical stage 1 or 2 deck.

For standard you have a point, but if on a coin flip you can find any two grass Pokémon, of any stage, and put them straight to your bench, then you have a very solid GLC card.
