[BraviaryBoi]

How? That's like saying Kalos remake def confirmed now due to SM6 being based off of Kalos (probably)

SM5+ is a sinnoh set because it’s an expansion of SM5 which is a sinnoh set

A new story has just been posted to PokéBeach's front page:

• Alternate Type Empoleon from SM5+!

Posts you make after this point will immediately appear on the front page and vice versa. Discuss!

Pokemon: "Hey, JUST in case we didn't kill gardy enough yet, here's some more metal support!"

TPCi is trying to ensure that Gardy is pounded into a pulp. Although I fail to see how you would use this in an Empoleon deck without the use of something like Rainbow or Counter Energy.

 

[AuraJackle]

Yea I'm gonna use the zero acceleration crappy weakness empoleon over the water one totally

 

[Advancer]

Is it actually going to have the same art in both sets? I prefer the how they had different art for the alternative type Araquanid and Shiinotic in SM+ GX Battle Boost.

 

[kusa]

so we got fighting type garchomp instead of the dragon type with the same moveset too? that would be so nice :3

 

[crystal_pidgeot]

I guess this is going to be a thing now?

 

[IronCow Tom]

The picture wouldn't load, so I was wondering what the Art would be, "What if it was the exact same?" I thought.

Oh.

I really like the alternate type of empoleon...your right on both points regarding Gardevoir but more importantly how to fit both water and metal types in together with a consistant energy option. Rainbow energy works but I am seeing more and more enhanced hammers being played in decks.

Metal? Zero acceleration? Where have you been?

 

[HouchinsDJ]

I think the Water version is still superior, having access to the new Crasher Wake Supporter and Aqua Patch. Plus, a weakness to Lightning is way better than Fire in our current format.

If you're running the Steel variant, it might be neat to run one copy of the Water-type along with Counter Energy just in case you run into a Fire deck.

SM5+ is an expansion to SM5, hence why many cards in the set will likely be reprints of SM5 cards. This is nothing new to "+" sets

In standard metal has no energy acceleration that works with empoleon

*cough* Registeel *cough* (and magnezone etc)

I wonder if this will start to become a trend with upcoming sets. By perpetually throwing the kitchen sink at the incumbent BDIF, additional sets become must-buys for competitive players. This constant 'one-upping' drives short-run sales and increases turnover ratio. Interesting business implications here.

 

[GamePhoenix]

Have you even looked on Pokebeach over the past months?

 

[Tytus]

Kinda Weird seeing an Empoleon weak to fire. Still going to use the water type one so I can use Wake and Aqua patch for excellaration.

You'd probably be playing Counter Energy in an Empoleon deck anyway.
