Someone at the Pokemon Company must really love Greedent, its been around for one generation and already has more cards than Linoone Watchog and Gumshoos. Who is out here fighting for more prints of this rat
Tera Dragonite ex and Tera Greedent ex from “ex Starter Decks” Revealed!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Better than the other 2, I’ll say that; weird it more than Bibarrel or Furret tho
Stop trying to serve Regidrago VStar a meal of Dragonite, the cooks keep messing it up.
Greedwnt EX is basically the same as oinkologne ex. You can now run the oink tank concept without any pigs. The swovet bibarel engine. Full face guard. Cherins care. It's tier 3 but it's a fun deck to play in casual battles.
One of the main pulls for Oinkologne ex is that Maddening Scent only requires 1 energy attachment. Greedent can't do that and would not function as well as Oink at maintaining attacks.
They are purposefully getting worse to change up the format come rotation in like two years.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that they'd spend so much time and energy producing so much blatant filler. Does offering a starter deck for every type have an overwhelmingly positive marketing effect or something? Why doesn't the international print of the game have that same belief? It's kind of distressing when this stuff goes into boosters en masse.
Depressing that Dragonite only hits the magic 280 off a coin flip and we don't have the redo coin flip Victini anymore. Greedent's Get Greedy looks kinda interesting.
From perspective of a starter set, I'd only imagine it's for the market of just picking up a deck and rolling with it. That's fine, albeit 10 of them is kinda much. Maybe they got the business data that supports the market for it.
What's really gonna suck is how this ends up in western booster packs.
The problem is, like others have already mentioned, when these types of deliberate jank, moves from a product where it makes sense (starter decks), to one where it doesn't, which is in regular set boosters, when it comes to the West.
1 year*. Next rotation will already leave us with SV onwards format, no?
Greedent is somewhat of a meme Pokemon in Japan from what I've seen. Think basically if the TCG was handled in America then we would've seen a lot of Mudkip love in the mid 2000s.
Would be BRS onwards next year
As one of the poster children for Obsidian Flames, the Dragonite ex is thoroughly disappointing. If you really wanted to make more starter decks, you could've at least given them to pokemon that aren't featured on the pack art for a main set. Let's just hope Dragonite at least gets a pretty illustrator rare.
That's right, I knew that... I guess my brain did that thing where it just erases the memory of a traumatic event so it doesn't have to deal with it. In this case, the fact that Lost Box is gonna be a thing for almost 2 more years.
