    Discussion What about Arcanine UNB?

    Arcanine is actually a viable deck on its own:

    'Remix Bout,' Japan's July Set!

    I don't mind that Blastoise is getting a Tag Team, but Venusaur and Charizard already had theirs, and them getting a second one is pretty annoying. I would've given the other generations a chance. I would have liked Sceptile/Snivy and Blaziken/Braixen, or even Chandelure/Braixen as a homage to...

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    Not all of the SR Tag Teams have this kind of treatment. Despite MagiLord and EeveeLax not being as dynamic as the rest, they actually work. Magikarp is just splashing in Wailord's water spout, which is hilarious within itself, while Eevee is feeding Snorlax berries.

    'Unified Minds,' August's SM11 Set!

    The Necrozma deck better have some special energies in it so Necrozma can take advantage of Special Laser.

    Several Mushroom Cards Revealed from 'Miracle Twins!'

    Amoonguss: Venom Shock > Venoshock, a move that pretty much every Poison Pokemon gets in the games.

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    Baby Necrozma was way overdue. I don't get why we got the baby versions of its other formes before this.

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    M Sableye EX should've been a promo like M Mawile EX was. Glad to see it finally being acknowledged in the TCG; better late than never. Now I'm wondering who they'll be pairing M Pinsir (also should've been in Furious Fists), M Banette, M Medicham, M Abomasnow, M Latias (also should've been in...

    2020 Standard Format Announced, Goes Into Effect Before Worlds!

    One of the most interesting maneuvers I've seen TPCI do regarding rotations. It's a shame we're losing the ball cards and Lele GX, but at least we've got Pokemon Communication, Pokegear 3.0, and Dedenne GX to make up for that. Type specific decks like Grass, Psychic, and Dragon still have it...

    SM10a \'GG End\' Mini-Set in April

    Apparently, Alolan Raichu is dragging regular Raichu to the water to catch some waves.

    SM10a \'GG End\' Mini-Set in April

    A translation correction: -Magmar: Smoke Bomb > Smokescreen, a move it gets in the games. Anyway, I have no idea why the Axew line went from specializing in Fighting and Steel to Fire and Steel. What does Fire have to do with them besides them being able to use Incinerate (a fairly weak attack...

    SM10a \'GG End\' Mini-Set in April

    I like Tag Switch a lot. For one, it helps get a Tag Team's GX attack's extra requirement ready (mainly Tag Bolt and Double Blaze). If the GX attack was already used, it can move away any extra energy to something else.

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Psystrike's Japanese name is サイコブレイク (Psycho Break). Psyshock's Japanese name is サイコショック (Psycho Shock), as seen on the card itself. Psyshock's first TCG representation is on Espeon EX from Breakpoint.

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Psychoshock > Psyshock. Almost every Psychic Pokemon gets this move in the video games.

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    This is because the Pokemon it searches out all have pre-evolutions that evolve with the Dusk Stone item in the video games, more specifically Misdreavus, Murkrow, Lampent, and Doublade.

    February's English Set: 'Team Up!'

    Brock is actually helpful in the Charizard deck since he retrieves fallen Charizard lines and energy discarded by Continuous Blaze Ball.

    News Japan's First 2019 Sets: 'Night Unison,' 'Full Metal Wall'

    The new Malamar for one, which lets you discard a Pokemon from the opponent's hand to copy one of that Pokemon's non-GX attacks. Edit: semi-Greninja'd

    News Japan's First 2019 Sets: 'Night Unison,' 'Full Metal Wall'

    Dark Pulse specifically states that it only counts Dark energies. DCE counts as Colorless, and before you ask, Colorless energies don't contribute to Dark Pulse's damage.

    News Japan's First 2019 Sets: 'Night Unison,' 'Full Metal Wall'

    It's kind of a coincidence to reveal this card shortly after Smash Ultimate came 0ut. On another note, Turbo Dark is back, but the loss of Max Elixir in standard hurts.

    Secret Rare Versions of Tag Team Pokemon-GX Revealed!

    PLANETA and 5Ban do some good GX art, but I think it's about time other artists did some GX cards for a change. Magikarp and Wailord is the funniest one; Ooyama did them justice. Midori Harada's art style actually suits Gengar and Mimikyu too.
