VikaBulu was a mid tier deck for a while and Rillaboom is just a better Vikavolt. So eventually, if a good partner is printed, it could be played.

Roweggs actually works really well with Rillaboom and they’ll eventually have some VMAX Grass mon that is just busted with it.
 
I really like the of Cinccino there are all super playable and most likely very costly

Whoever gets good v pokemon will win lol.

Luckily frosmoth only goes to water pokemon...
 
I wonder why the very different wording on Cinccino vs. Zoroark.

Zoroark:
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, draw 2 cards.

Cinccino:
You must discard a card from your hand in order to use this Ability. Once during your turn, you may draw 2 cards.

I know they're removing the 'before your attack' verbage, so that's expected. But why change the rest? Just a harmless change?
 
Cinccino with a built-in Pot of Greed effect, that's gonna be seeing a lot of play, specially if you've got ways to recycle discarded cards/energies.

Also nice to see they're committing to the sparkly holofoil effect for the rares as well.
 
Oh wow, all of these are really good! I hope I get at least 1-2 Meowths when I go!

Hmm it may be harmless, but to my interpretation, with Zoroark, you have to draw cards when you discard, with Cinccino you can just discard and not draw... I interpet it i that way because Zoraorak is "You may discard, if you do draw" while Cinccino is "Discard card, you may draw 2".
 
The new wording on the Cinccino is a lot more confusing than Zoroark GX's ability: "Once during your turn (before you attack), you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, draw 2 cards." Cinccino's ability, "You must discard a card from your hand in order to use this ability. Once during your turn, you may draw 2 cards," seems like it could mean: discard a card from your hand and you may now draw 2 cards once at any point in your turn.

Actually, it's almost the opposite, from what I see. See https://pokegym.net/index.php/2019/04/01/trash-talk/ - Zoroark you can discard even if you're unable to draw, while Cinccino you won't be able to do that; it's worded as a cost, which means that you only do it if you're doing the other part. (The cost only comes into play if you use the ability.) Neither will let you discard without _trying_ to draw, but Zoroark would let you discard with an empty deck (rarely, but occasionally, useful).


For some more context see this tweet and the associated replies/discussion: https://twitter.com/Pooka311/status/1216790725787914240
The wording is intentionally different than Zoroark-GX's Trade because it actually works a little differently. You can Trade with 0 cards in your deck, but you can't Make Do with 0 cards in your deck. The effect of Make Do is to draw 2 cards. Trade's main effect is discarding.

From what the Pokemon people are saying (read the various tweets by TPCi employees in the twitter discussion in my previous post), it sounds like this is a new template they're going to use to try and avoid some of these kinds of issues - which will take getting used to. Definitely isn't what you're describing, anyway, they discuss that exact thing.

Basically, they're trying to more explicitly explain the "cost" part and the "action" part, and it's something we'll just have to get used to. ("You must discard a card from your hand in order to use this Ability." means it's the cost, something that happens as part of doing the ability.)

I think they should word it, "Once during your turn, you may discard a card from your hand in order to draw 2 cards" or "Once during your turn, you may discard a card from your hand to this ability. Draw 2 cards." The Zoroark vs Cinccino wordings can both be confusing as they are but, to me, Cinccino's seems like it can be misunderstood more easily.
