    Florges from 'Forbidden Light!'

    Smh to the people complaining about Judgment being renamed to Verdict. This is because Judgment is Arceus' signature attack in the games, which Zygarde doesn't get. The Pokemon TCG keeps its attack names consistent with the games for the most part in English (except for Confusion/Psy Bolt for...

    Florges from 'Forbidden Light!'

    This is mainly because Judgment is Arceus' signature move in the Pokemon games. Zygarde can't learn it.

    Standard Garchomp Deck

    I'll experiment with the Gible counts. I feel that the Rock Hiding Gible has some merit since I can just attach a Fighting energy, then retreat to Alolan Vulpix for free without losing the energy.

    Standard The Best Magnezone / Dusk Mane Necrozma Deck

    Sometimes getting 2 energies with Coronet isn't enough; with all the counter stadiuming and Field Blowering, Starmie can act as backup energy retrieval. With Starmie and Coronet out at the same time, Dusk Mane can chain Meteor Tempests consistently.

    Standard The Best Magnezone / Dusk Mane Necrozma Deck

    I wouldn't recommend Altar because it's essentially active during the opponent's turn, given that the opponent can remove it with Field Blower or a counter stadium before attacking. The aforementioned decks tend to run high counts of Scorched Earth or Brooklet Hill to offset a single copy of Altar.

    Standard Empoleon/Zoroark (aka Bench Press)

    4 Aqua Patch is needed in this deck so you can get other Empoleon ready more easily while one of them fights and to increase the odds of having one at any time. Brigette is better to set up your bench on the first turn. Ultra Ball is generally enough for your Pokemon searching needs, while...

    Japan's SM6+ Set, 'Dragon Storm,' Plus 'Champion Road' Mini-Set!

    This is likely because Horsea is WPM's favorite Pokemon. Sometimes he likes inserting his own jokes into card translations. He even called Skrelp a discount Horsea in Forbidden Light Dragalge's translation.

    Japan's SM6+ Set, 'Dragon Storm,' Plus 'Champion Road' Mini-Set!

    As the proud owner of 8 copies of Wishiwashi GX on TCGO, I'm shocked that it got some more support from a baby Wishiwashi. Don't think it would work too well considering that bench sniping and damage spread are still a thing, with Buzzwole being the main offender.

    Japan's SM6+ Set, 'Dragon Storm,' Plus 'Champion Road' Mini-Set!

    Shouldn't Sand Tomb read "The Defending Pokemon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn?" This is basically what Breakpoint Gabite's Sand Tomb reads. The effect goes away when the Pokemon goes to the bench like with Guzma or Switch and no longer applies to the new active Pokemon. Have a...

    Standard SM6 Turbo DM Necrozma

    Silvally is more than just a bench sitter. It's also a backup energy accelerator that hits for a reasonable amount of damage and in combination with the memory cards, can hit for a variety of weaknesses, including Buzzwole and Zoroark.

    Japan's SM6+ Set, 'Dragon Storm,' Plus 'Champion Road' Mini-Set!

    Remember when Lance used underleveled Dragonite in the Johto games? His Prism Star card brings this into full circle.

    Standard Xerneas BREAK / Gardevoir-GX

    This is a stage 2 deck. Why are you not running Rare Candy to get Gardevoir up ASAP? Drop the Maintenances for them. Add in DCEs to power up Infinite Force and Life Stream. You're also missing a staple item in Field Blower in order to remove opposing tools and stadiums, as well as staple...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    I'm not talking about how good Exeggutor would perform by itself in standard. I'm talking about how it wold perform in a theme deck-exclusive format and how good the deck would be for beginners.

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    I have the feeling that the Exeggutor deck is going to be a flop given that Tropical Shake needs multiple different energies to use effectively. Of course, it might depend on whether the deck has methods to get the energy straight into the discard. Theme decks aren't known for having more than 2...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    Naganadel's codename was already established as "Stinger" in its reveal trailer last year:

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    It doesn't say "look", so no. Think of Stinger as a Rotom Dex that forces a sudden death between both players.
