That Tyranitar art has major Godzilla vibes. Love it!

Larvitar/Pupitar/Tyranitar - pretty generic Stage 2. 3/3/3

 

[ronangorski]

Now we wait for the natu line?

 

[Da idiot]

Very strong attack by tyranitar. Just the fact its a stage 2 makes it useless. So sad we we have had to say that for an entire decade by this point

 

[Michael Stadler]

I'm ok to get low hp stage 2 if they are glass cannon / have low attack cost / provide nices abilities. But isn't it time to finally get stage 2 that have more than 200 hp? No way this kind of cards will see play if they stay so weak.

When are they going to just reveal the full set?

Now it only it had buildings in the background

Nice, so Tyranitar DOES have the same weakness as his Rock type that was released a couple of sets ago.

[D][D][C][C] for a 180 damage Earthquake on a Stage 2? What a waste of cardboard.

What do the freaks that design these cards have against psuedo-legendaries? I can't be the only one who's noticed that they're usually always mid, right?

 

[flariados]

Back in my day, a Tyranitar would have 3 attacks, no questions asked.

Or Four. You have forgotten about Tyranitar ex from EX Unseen Forces, which has FOUR attacks.

When are they going to just reveal the full set?

If the algorithm is correct, it will either be tomorrow or Friday. Then next week will be secret rares.

 

[Nintenfreak]

I was kinda hoping the set would feature western artists

 

[DarkMatterGaming]

The attack itself isn't that bad with Gapejaw Bog and spreading a bit with a Pupitar! The real killer here, more than anything, is that it's on a Stage 2 and that Larvitar has 60 HP.

After Gapejaw and a Pupitar, that leaves it just in range for Quick Shooting, and that sucks.

Edit:

I do have to wonder if maybe a Bisharp deck could make use of the Pupitar, at least. 20 damage on your bench * 4 = another 120 damage bare minimum, but the same problem applies.

 

[GypsyBear]

Is it just me or does Tyranitar not look like Abraham Benrubi...

 

[Serperior]

Alright glad it's universally understood that we're all throwing Golden Razzes at Larvitar we find out there

 

[LightYearLiam]

Dang...after the Kanto starters, I was hoping they learned how to make interesting and potentially good Stage 2s...guess I was wrong.
