Filled it out :) Out of curiosity, what is your essay title? And what level of study are you at?

In for text :) I'd do image because I have art I'd use for it but i don't have access to or proficiency at image editing anymore

tbh with this one, first attack is the better option, second attack is like a last resort kinda deal, but I agree, Stage 2's are shafted beyond belief since the introduction of Tag Teams.

If a person can pull off Skyfield, Wally, 3 energy, 9 basics and a VMAX on their first turn, then they deserve the 300 damage dude. This is an outlandish combo that doesn't warrant the ban of Wally, although I'm not sure if it should be unbanned.

yeah it's great, you get Dedenne-GX which is a must in a lot of decks and two Boss's Orders which are a must in ADPZ, so it's a win-win. It comes with boosters and other useful trainers too, so I'd get it if I were you.

Oh wow, I really like that Magnezone line! Not only are they one of my favourites, if these were real (and if meta was different) I would totally build a deck around these! Shame Pokemon don't like to make cards nowadays too creative :p

What is this survey you are referring to? I do agree with a lot of what you have put in this thread btw. The game is still fun to play, but jesus, it's so much more expensive when I can't even begin to compete without a top tier deck.

I keep spreadsheets of my pulls from Booster Boxes and out of interest I weighed packs, and kept the weights on the sheet. It is not possible to weigh them at all, as they all weigh the same with around 1g variance, and there have been times where an Ultra Rare weighed on the lower end of the...

Yes, that's exactly what I meant! I've been keeping track since Celestial Storm (I think, I haven't got access to my spreadsheets at the moment) and they have steadily increased from 12 White codes to 14 (or 15) over the sets. Huh, I assumed there would be others like me, who would keep track of...

I agree completely, while the pack rates got better (I keep spreadsheets of booster box pull rates), they are still not good enough due to the lack of value placed on non-Ultra cards. At this point, I think a pack structure itself rather than pull rates need to be adjusted. Since regular rates...

I have a Toxtricity VMAX/Slowbro V and Dark City deck which is pretty good for a gimmicky deck. The promo Toxtricity V is better as the V though.

I'd agree with that, if our holos were worth anything. Because of the power creep, and big basics, holos are basically worthless, financially or gameplay wise (notable exceptions relatively recently are Jirachi and Oranguru, or ya know any Zard). I agree with @Ilexon on this one, I'd rather have...

Kinda wish we were getting this in the UK, I really like those pins. Boosters suck, but for 24.99 the pins and excitement of opening packs is good enough for me.

Looks like Dragapult-V not Dragapult-GX ;)

I disagree, I can see this being useful in my Melcario deck... It's always a 2HKO or even 3HKO with that deck anyways, so healing up by 50 on my active and not really changing much on the opponent's Pokemon is a good strat.

Fair enough, I usually hear and use "next format" as nee expansion, and to be honest I've only ever heard "next rotation" referring to what you initially said (i.e. 2020-21).

Next format usually refers to the next Expansion being legal. In this case, Vivid Voltage adding the Special Metal Energy, being an extremely good addition to Melcario decks.

Yes, Sonic Edge goes through Full Metal Wall unfortunately, I found that out while playing a Melcario deck at the height of ADP Keldeo. And yes, Keldeos attack hits Keldeo too.

Why are you using 4 Mallow & Lana by the way? You'll never need to heal anything, so you might as well use Bird Keeper to switch and draw. To be honest, you have so many cards dedicated to Switching... 16 in total, counting Scoop Up Nets, would you not rather add some Quick Balls and extra...
