Finally found the blister packs, now I just hope the pulls are good.
Roaring Skies Blister Pack Promos
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
I was hoping someone would bring this card up, but a little worried that only bbninjas half gets it.
Bench a Regirock promo (or two) on the Bench of a deck with an Energy transferring effect. Now attach Exp. Share. For each Regirock/Exp. Share you save one basic Energy card every time someone of yours is KOed. Of course, most such decks are going to try to avoid losing any Energy through throwing up something big enough it can't be OHKOed and then healing it Max Potion. Eventually Max Potion will rotate out (likely at the next set rotation) and this can become even more valuable, though perhaps something else will be the play. Even now it offers an alternate strategy for such decks: Pokémon that normally would be too fragile to bother with (and thus don't lend themselves to the Max Potion trick) could still work with this approach.
Still, even when its just insurance (like now) a lone Basic with a Pokémon Tool, that can't be forced Active except indirectly or via non-Trainers, and that catches a basic Energy should something be KOed seems like a good deal to me. Edit: The most obvious use is for Fairy Transfer decks as those still see some competitive play in Standard, but there are other Energy moving effects (even more in Expanded) so I edited the post to make it a bit more general.

Alternatively, you could also run the Fairy Engine with 4 of these, a Xerneas and a PrC Huntail. Granted you need to run Rainbow or Water Energy but... Imagine the damage output.
Opened my first one and got a full art, and it was one I wanted from the set. I wonder which pack arts will end up being lucky.
Not sure if I will buy one of these, might be fun to make a deck and test it at my local card shop. I'll have to wait and see what pops up on the internet. Some insightful thoughts on the usage of the cards guys! Slurpuff would be great with both of these in a fairy and fighting deck.
plus it's a fighting type so... strong energy... god...
I was Thinking Pangoro/ Training Stadium/ Plasma Umbreon/ Plasma badge.
Pangaro/Skyfield/Plasma Umbreon/Plasma Bade/Ninetales/Maxie's Rhyperior could also work.
But where's the fun in that?
