Someone is going to make that Gyarados work spectacularly.
SM9 'Tag Volt,' Japan's December Set!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
I used a translator and found a solid guess:
Sabrina - Play this card and look at opponents hand, then select a Supporter from their hand and use its effect for this card.
Bill - Look at the top 7 cards and choose 2 Trainers from there and put in hand.
Judge Man Whistle - Play 1 draw a card, play 2 bring a card back from discard??? translation is choppy, but if this is the case holy crap about time.

Recharge > Charge, a move that Alolan Geodude gets. Minor, but it should be consistent with what the video games say.
Omastar: If this Pokemon is in play and you have fewer Pokemon in play than your opponent, your opponent can't play item cards.
What?
Mr. Mime: Your opponent cannot return a Pokemon or any cards attached to it to their hand if it has any damage counters on it.
WHAAATT???
So I see Mr. Mime as a way to make these 250+ HP basics more balanced and completely invalidates Acerola/AZ/Super Scoop Up to keep stall in check. And Omastar is one-sided item lock that works from the bench which is absurd. You can also Maxie it into play in Expanded. Can't decide between which of these is the best card from the set.
I'm also a fan of the Judge Whistle, which allows you to search your deck for a Judge or play one from the discard. This makes Judge a significantly better card and also makes Alolan Ninetales GX more versatile.

Judge whistle also makes Alolan Vulpix a little less viable
. It's nice to see some item-based supporter search/recovery back in format. A couple of SPAS decks become a good bit better with even a little more draw support like that.
I'd rather have a Bench Barrier Mr. Mime Reprint, but this new Mime is good, if a bit niche. It'll be a nice choice for a tech slot if you're going to see a lot of Zoroark somewhere.
EXACTLY.
Brock’s Grit reprint means the infamous Sableye Raichu Lock is back
Will Kabutops Maxie’s Be OP in expanded? Imagine you place Kabutops in the Active with Vileplume on your bench
Starmie is interesting but Alolan Marowak is better thanks to the zero energy cost.
That Beedrill is decent and thanks to the Kakuna we got a couple of sets ago, it is easy to set up. It's first attack pretty much guarantees a free KO on something unless it gets OHKO'd. Likely going to be using Bodybuilding Dumbell's to help it.

Just loving super saiyan Primeape.
...how
Why play Vileplume when Maxie’s also gets out Omastar...EXACTLY.

Oh wait I didn’t see Omastar... but you gotta have less Pokémon that your opponent though...
Just thought about it: Riotous beating can still Ko these fossil Pokémon no problem

Mr. Mime hates acerola and Omastar will be the new most unhealthy deck in the standard format.
Might be good with malamar
Both weak
