I got a question that has been boggling my mind for quite some while now. What the heck is this Thunderquake counter???
Thunderquake?
- Thread starter legendkiller
- Start date
It has been revealed when a card has a TQ counter on it and a Pokemon uses the attack Thunderquake the pokemon faints but adding on to this does it count as a special condition?
That can't be!!!!! That's totally broken!!!! There has to be some kind of drawback!!!!
It's not completely broken when you think about it, but I know how to make it godly...psyblazer_ex said:
Its not a special condition, its more of an "effect of an attack"
I suspect they will add heaps of countering pokemon like a Pokemon thats Poke-body is Thunderblock it would go something like this if they did it
while one of your Pokemon has a ThunderQuake Counter on it this pokemon's attack does 40 more damage who knows they'll probably make it worst.Otherwise it will become an Archetype theme.

I still say it's broken. You guys have to be missing some drawbacks or something. Imagine the brokeness!!! EX's will be left unplayable!!!!!
i wonder whether Holon WP and dustox ex would prevent thunderquake or not.
Yes, they would.
Exs are still very playable however. Remember, they have to place the counter with an attack first. THEN, they have to attack AGAIN for the KO. T-tar exs Thunderquake attack does require three energies, and that's not cheap if you don't have an energy supplier. As long as your deck stays a step ahead in the game and you are able to hit the T-tar ex hard, you shouldn't have to worry about Thunderquake too much.

Tyranitar ex δ will also lose power if any Thunderquake markers put by one get discarded when the Tyranitar ex δ that put them there leaves the Active spot. It sounds a bit fairer than sacrificing one Tyranitar ex that does only Ele Mark to everything...
Ooh, or what if there was a restriction to the number of Thunderquake markers you could have in play at any one time? That would be a little fairer.

RE: Thunderquake?
it's not broken, cause it takes 1 turn to place the counter, then next turn gets to KO that Pokemon. it's not a hard Pokemon to KO, the weakness is bad. just get a strong pokemon of that type, and kO it. it might get 1 KO, but that's all. OK?
plus apparently if it does get out of control, then tropius might help.
Arcanine out.
no we're not missing anything. go look at the spoilers for yourself at Tyranitar EX D and see for yourself.legendkiller said:

^ there will be, I guess
anyways, I think 2 turns are too much of a waste of time IMO, and they do what lugia ex can do in 1 turn...

I agree with Godzilla 200%. It is too broken and will leave 98% of the EX's Unplayable because they will get KO'ed no matter what.
