    Sword & Shield TCG Set

    There's a new rule that will come soon that stops the first player from using a supporter on their first turn. It was most likely created to stop Judge from crippling the opposing hand on the first turn or to get set up way too quickly with Welder.

    Sword & Shield TCG Set

    Double Attack is Double Hit's Japanese name in the video games. It's also spelled "ダブルアタック" there since its inception in Diamond/Pearl.

    New 'Sword & Shield' Info, Easier to Train Competitive Pokemon and More!

    LGPE removed the auto heal when the Pokemon is deposited into the PC. This will most likely carry over to Sword/Shield.

    First TCG Cards of Grookey, Sobble, Scorbunny, Zacian V, Zamazenta V!

    At least 5Ban didn't get first dibs on drawing the single prize cards like the X/Y Pokemon did. Nothing against 5Ban, but I felt that them doing all the artwork for the first time the Gen VI Pokemon were in the TCG was kind of unfair to the other artists.

    'Alter Genesis,' 'High Class Pack 2019' Sets Announced for Japan!

    Pokebeach is rather inconsistent with how they put up their translations. Sometimes they use the English ability and move names as they're presented in the games; other times, they use the direct Japanese translations. In Beast Boost's case, it's a slight mistranslation.

    'Alter Genesis,' 'High Class Pack 2019' Sets Announced for Japan!

    Some changes on attacks/abilities that should be addressed: -Sunflora: Sun Power > Solar Power, an ability that the Sunkern line has in the games. -Buzzwole: Beast Burst > Beast Boost, an ability that all Ultra Beasts have in the games, which increases their highest stat when they KO a...

    'Alter Genesis,' 'High Class Pack 2019' Sets Announced for Japan!

    This Solgaleo is meant to be comboed with the Lunala that was revealed, as the latter can accelerate energy from the deck.

    'Unified Minds,' August's SM11 Set!

    It's the same translation. Think of it as a 1-sided N, which was always the case.

    'Remix Bout,' Japan's July Set!

    Looking at the set list, it's Steam Siege and Crimson Invasion all over again in that there are a few good cards, but the rest are niche or downright terrible. I'm actually afraid to see what other Japanese sets Remix Bout will be combined with for our last English Sun/Moon set.

    'Remix Bout,' Japan's July Set!

    Reread; you're right. Thanks for the clarification. The only way Reshizard can get past this is Double Blaze's secondary effect in that case.

    'Remix Bout,' Japan's July Set!

    Not all of them. Ultra Beasts without Beast or Rainbow energy can still get past it. Reshizard and Pikarom never run special energy at all, so they can still get past.

    'Unified Minds,' August's SM11 Set!

    Yes, Injection adds a 7th prize if there are 6 already. Xurkitree GX's Lighting operates on a similar principle.

    'Unified Minds,' August's SM11 Set!

    It's not that vague. You choose which card will be put into the prizes. Had Injection mentioned "Your opponents adds...", then the opponent gets to choose.
