These are incredible. Also kangaskhan leak confirmed for what that's worth.

4x Rocket's Receiver + 4x Petrel + 4x Arven means you basically have 13 copies of Secret Box (or trolley, blender, whatever) in your deck. That kind of consistency seems crazy assuming prizes don't screw you over. Also I really like the Koffing/Weezing working with non-team rocket...

Does the fact that we only have this one trademark confirm that this will be a standalone set? It feels like we should have an accompanying "y" set with mewtwo or the other zard or something.

I have to wonder how long this can keep up for. Like, that one guy who had 15,000 packs of JTG. Ignoring the problem of them even getting that many packs in the first place, how many people will actually want to buy JTG once Destined Rivals is out? You can really tell that there's some group of...

It'll 100% be sold out everywhere because of gambling addicts who use nostalgia to justify their vices (I'm a little bitter about all of this still), but as for the cards themselves, every other set has still had a good amount (if not a majority) of "free agent" pokemon. Though I wouldn't be...

See, the good news is that once this set comes out, the demand for JTG will go down enough to possibly be obtainable!

Honestly? This might have a home in Froslass spread decks. There's pretty negative synergy between this and Cynthia's Garchomp ex (wants you to max out on fighting energy) and Cynthia's Roserade (only buffs damage dealt to the active), so it doesn't really fit in a Cynthia's deck unless there's...

About a decade ago, i remember the local toys r us selling pokemon above msrp even though there was a walmart right next to it which also carried cards. I guess it's just a thing that dying businesses do to wring out a little more money on the way out.

Considering the lengths smogon goes to make singles playable, there's no way that whatever singles format this game has won't be substantially worse.

It's unplayable. Tbh I'm a little disappointed that they're giving an art rare to greedent over any of Arven's actually likable pokemon.

The article implies theyre all in here i think

The same way they fumbled every stellar tera. But tbh, I think pokemon is just really bad at making good decks out of only one wave of support. Most of these decks just need a little push to be actually good rn.

I kinda like baltoy and claydol, skarmory has a good attack but 50 might not be enough since since you wanna be able to ohko 60/70hp basics before they evolve. Both of these decks still seem a little underwhelming unfortunately.

I think the pretty cards being relatively easy to pull is nice. It's a little jarring that there are just so many of em. Xy base set was like 146(?) cards and that was considered huge.

I think the fact that we're done with ace specs should make pull rates for everything else a bit better to compensate
