    Only One Can Be the Best – Optimizing Tera Box

    The tera engine is the most consistent engine to have in the current format. I don't know why you ever think it needs a consistency boost. It's only issue is there is no late game draw engine so Iono really makes it suffer, but that isn't a consistency issue. Also this deck was the defacto deck...

    “The Glory of Team Rocket” All 98 Main Set Cards Revealed!

    You can still counter catcher or prime catcher it. This set about to hit every meta deck rn except gardevoir. Watchtower checks the tera package while the rockets mimikyu is the new mew+clefairy combo against dragapult that requires less energy and allows you to attack with a single prizer.

    Annihilape from The Glory of Team Rocket!

    feraligator is 2 damage counters for 150 damage or 0 damage counters for 170 damage (Munkidori if you didnt know). Annihilape can't self activiate it's ability without the snow stadium so it's definately worse. It's also forced to be 130 hp (or 230 with lux cape) so it'll just die next turn...

    Team Rocket’s Ampharos Line Revealed, References EX Team Rocket Returns!

    most likely not. Depends on the metagame of course but 3 energy 140 damage attack on a 140 hp stage 2 mon is very bad, even in prerelease format. It most likely has the same longetivity as a stage 1 mon or a beefy basic. Keep in mind prerelease format has limited to no source of energy...

    “The Glory of Team Rocket” Set Officially Revealed Featuring Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex!

    All depends on the rest of the trainer cards. If they're all good, then yes there won't be much interaction, like mew vmax. However, the previous trainers pokemon all have glaring weaknesses in their archetype that allows other cards to cover it. All the trainers decks so far all require support...

    MC’s Hype Up, Judge from “Heat Wave Arena”

    I don't know if it's a good idea to not extend the blocks for Prof Research and even judge. Unlike last year's formats, decks have already trended away from having max copies of prof research in favor of archetype relevant power cards like the arven for stage 2 decks or prof sadas for ancient...

    Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Special Illustration Rare Revealed from “Heat Wave Arena!”

    unironically, that would actually make the card more appealling to the general collector base. Fans really love pokemon in casual/thematic settings because it's not something we see that often.

    Stayin’ Alive — Regidrago VSTAR Is Still Good Despite Budew

    Just play dragapult. Only perks of regidrago was that it could dragapult or kyurem attack turn 2 much faster, but with budew in the format, it's a lot harder and you can't use t2 kyurem and then stalled out with budew. Though this deck responds to aggro much better, you can just play arc-fire...

    Shaymin from “Heat Wave Arena”

    the thing has 80 hp so it's only easily searchable with nest ball and artazan. Those two cards aren't normally used in high counts for stage 2 decks so this Shaymin is harder to use. Yea you can ultra ball for this but it'll feel bad to do that.

    Most Valuable Cards from “Battle Partners,” Huge Error on Gold N’s Zoroark ex, Hop’s Pokemon in Last Place

    japan goes hard for waifu cards. dont let this be an indication of journey together prices because the western collectors don't care about trainer cards as much

    Steven’s Metagross ex and Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex Decks Revealed!

    I'm thinking steven's metagross can pair well with copperjah ex. 330/360hp stage 1 is very good.

    Little Pokemon, Big Impact — How Budew Will Change the Game

    Because budew is most likely used in stage 2 decks, you also give your opponent grand tree.

    Volcanion ex, Iris, Wailord Illustration Rare, and More from “Battle Partners!”

    nobody is leaving budew in the active when going 1st. Though thinking about it, I doubt people will budew lock hop decks anyways.

    Volcanion ex, Iris, Wailord Illustration Rare, and More from “Battle Partners!”

    how exactly can you do that if you're budew locked hmmm

    Tyranitar from Battle Partners!

    nah this card will be good. It's got a good usable attack doing decent damage and provides disruption and only 2 energies are needed. To get around it, you need to be using boss's orders which means you're not using a draw supporter. It also makes setting up a 2nd attacker very hard because now...

    Swinging the Sphene — Refining Regidrago VSTAR

    Its not a "hard counter" to raging bolt. Frankly, the raging bolt matchup is only hard because they can turn 1 going second knockout a 2 prizer. You're forced into double rad zard plays to win but it requires ALWAYS requires two energy switches to work. Exeggutor doesn't help against a turn 1...

    First Cards from “Battle Partners” Revealed!

    nah raging bolt is still better with teal mask. Teal masks only take up 4 deck slots while running a zoraork package required 8 and multi turn setup. A bit scared of this too but looking back at how the Mew Vmax deck evolved with basically only one set of true support, hopefully there's enough...

    Sacramento, Stuttgart, and Surging Sparks Shape the Meta

    you can double kyurem or double rad zard them. They can only really knockout a vstar once with raichu so your 2nd vstar is safe for two turns.

    Done Making Metal — Dialga Has Achieved Structural Integrity

    The deck is ass. It's board is super fragile like chien pao bax but without a dedicated draw enginge. Your first attack will always be with an archuladon ex so that's one less duraladon you use to power up dialga. In order to star chronos, you need to evolve two archuladons on the same turn, so...
