From the boosters I got at 2 Pre-Releases I got 3 Premier Balls and 4 Candies (2 RH). I don't normally have much luck with packs but I have no problem getting Candies for some reason. I have 9 just from POP 5.

Aside from the reprinted Rare Candy, I would say the top cards are: 1. Claydol: versatile tech for many decks, anti-Absol, and the Basic is good too. 2. Pachirisu: a set up attack and an anti-Cess Crystal attack, nice. 3. Unown G: anti-G&G but also prevents status effects (like Darkrai's...

Read the card. Play Arcanine onto the Bench, switch it with a Blissey with 4 Fire Energy on it and hit for 120 (as opposed to 60/70 with Blissey). It's quite an obvious combo, I am surprised you are not aware of it. Lunatone discards Energy, Solrock retrieves Energy from the discard to...

1. Delcatty 2. Electivire 3. Arcanine 4. Solrock/Lunatone GE Lucario and Banette are good with Blissey, but they don't exactly 'work' with it. Blissey is extremely good on its own too.

Except for Pre-release Tournaments. It's a beast there ;)

A rubbish basic that needs to be levelled up whilst active, then has a x2 weakness to the most dominant card in the format and requires [D][D][C] to attack? Yeah, I would say it's overhyped. The Power is interesting, but I haven't yet seen a quick enough deck that can make good use of it.

I give it to SW by miles. -It has all the Trainers that will be staples after the next rotation: Bebe's, Mars, Roseanne's, Rowan, POV . . . - It has a bunch of great starters: Absol, Stantler, Sentret/Furret, Smeargle, Spinda - Gardevoir has the most broken Power in the whole of Modified...

I do it by trial and error too. If I find I have too many of a certain card at the wrong time, I'll cut it back (I'm looking at you, Night Maintenance!). It also depends on whether or not a card is searchable. Running Scott or Castaway can sometimes allow you to run less of a Supporter or a...

RE: best unlimited cards/decks Sneasel, Chaos Gym, all those non-Supporters like Bill, Professor Oak, Rocket's Sneak Attack, Lass, Computer Search . . . Double Colorless Energy . . . Gust of Wind, ER, SER. Broken PokePowers like Slowking, Blastoise, and Vileplume. The new Pokemon...

I think EVERBODY has made a trade that they regret at some point. Maybe they gave too much to get a card they wanted, or they traded a card without knowing how expensive or useful it was. I once traded a load of ex pokemon to get an Umbreon* that I really needed, only to win the tournament and...

If it is a friend, then maybe you can help them out sometime by trading for something they want or need. Your comment about there being 'influential' people 'behind' it all, just makes me think that you are being pressured into giving this guy more cards. If that is what is happening, then I...

RE: 5 top card in dp sw Ok, in that case: 1. Absol 2. Gardevoir 3. Gallade 4. Banette 5. Ampharos I left off Plusle as it is more of a tech, and Magmortar as it really needs the LV. X. to be truly effective. There are so many good Pokemon in this set. I could have easily included...

RE: 5 top card in dp sw In no particular order: Absol - Brilliant starter, cripples your opponent's set up. Gallade - TWO great attacks. Gardevoir - Insane PokePower, allows you to break the 'one supporter' rule. Roseanne's Research - Mr Stone and Holon Mentor (almost) in the same card...

I've tried most of these and found Lucario to be the best partner for Blissey. Delcatty has the best synergy, but Skitty starts are about the worst thing in Pokemon right now. I don't like leading off with a Pokemon that has a 'please donk me' sign around its neck. 1-2 Sableye CG is a good...
