It's the law of Induced Demand, unfortunately. Product gets popular > people get in and buy them out > stocks are low > they print more stocks > more people get in and buy them out > stocks are low > repeat If their solution is just Print More Product then the scalper issue isn't going to get...

I think it's a fair downside. So far the Trainer's Pokemon all have insanely powerful abilities that would have some potential game breaking effects if they're allowed to evolve from/interact with non-Trainer's Pokemon. Even then, consider this: if you're a fan of a pokemon that happens to have...

With this set's release the whole F block is rotating out, so a lot of existing decks literally become unplayable. This set is the mandatory "New Toy" for a lot of players and we're (sort of) looking forward how it shakes up the meta. Notably for Hop's entire pokemon lineup and kit it gives off...

Scary side effect of AI being trained on these types of art (and unfortunately getting really good at it). Not helped by the AI entrants fiasco of the last illustrator contest either.

Grand Tree/TM Evo sidesteps this issue, but Mamoswine still wouldn't want it. 340 HP is big enough, and you'd rather have an energy accelerant and/or a draw engine as backline. You probably can bring exactly 1-1-1 line in a Mamoswine/Quaquaval build though, but it's more funny than strong.

What a HUGE lad. I love him

I think that would be pretty broken, both gamerules wise and balance wise.

Coming in a starter deck product, the same way Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex (and her other pokemons) is. With TM evo and Hyper Aroma setting up multiple Beldums + Metangs isn't that hard. The main problem is weaving fresh Metagross each turn because 170HP stage 2 in this day and age is laughably...

We have a Garganacl from Paradox Riftthat accelerates basic F energy. Theoretically you can run Mamoswine, Garganacl, and Pidgeot with Grand Tree as Ace Spec and a mix of Colress Tenacity + TM Evo/Arven to help build up the board and make the deck less reliant on Candies, but I agree that it's...

Oh wait that Mamoswine looks decent. Master Ball each turn and doesnt have a hard OPT limit. Could a stage 2 box deck work with this?

I think its mainly because they wanted to include Zacian in this set specifically, and the trainer that is tied to Zacian that is not the player character is Hop. He's also the more "recent" default game rival that is not Nemona.

Because these are originally Japanese Pokemon Center sleeves and Tsareena just doesnt have any.

Flareon seems pretty decent. It's a mini Trinity Nova, but probably would depend on other attackers to function.

"Return to hand" and "Shuffle into the deck" is an immense difference. It warrants the 3 color energy cost. On that note, surprisingly having that specific energy attachment isn't too difficult at all, so long as Crispin exists. I've tried playing Sylveon ex and having Angelite ready by turn 2-3...

Larry would be pretty funny in a Ceruledge ex deck w/ Bibarel engine, but the beaver is rotating in a few months unfortunately.

Ah true. Thanks for the correction, usually there isnt any events leading up to worlds so there's almost no indication that the season had changed (I don't think they even do any announcements), so I was under the impression that new seasons start after Worlds.

In the physical TCG, a season is a whole year, starting from the end of last season's World Championships (or a few weeks afterwards) to the next WC. The season number is the year of the upcoming WC, so for example the last few regionals (Baltimore, Lillie, etc) were 'Season 2025 Regionals' even...

If they do, hopefully they will generalize it. Call it 'Champion's Grit' or something, then we can have Lance, Steven, Gary/Blue, etc with the shuffle draw 6 effects.

It's way worse. It needs a total of 9M attachment just to hit for 280. If it says x30 instead of x20 maybe it would have been good.

I was expecting most of the ex would be bulk power level, which is true for the most of them, but Blaziken ex seems to be very competent. I love it.
