Shining Jirachi is certainly an interesting card. Looking forward to seeing if anybody uses it more now that more stage 1 and 2's are popping up in the competitive scene.

Vensaur is pretty Playable with its ability, it has some potential. It can be annoying though, Because Venusaur is a Stage 2. Maybe rare candy and Shiinotic( Illuminate) will save it?

Of course the Ivysaur combos with Venusaur and Shining Celebi, allowing it to swing for half the cost.

Just imagine this Genesect with Venusaur and the -30 damage stadium. You can also use Max potions by moving the energies with other genesects in bench

Genesect + Venasaur seems legit. 3 grass energy + Venasaur ability + Choice Band = 200 damage. On a basic single-prize attacker. Ridiculous :D

Shining Genesect looks like a solid single prize attacker in Lurantis and possibly Vikavolt decks. The Ability and attack are reminiscent of Flareon-EX, a card that saw some competitive play but Volcanion now has better partners. With the Lurantis promo and Choice Band, it's possible to hit for big numbers with this card. 130 HP is also typical for a non-GX / EX basic.

It is said that Genesect is an ancient Pokemon found and modified by Team Plasma, and a lot of people believe that Pokemon to be Kabutops. Maybe that's the reference? The dex does however say it was a bug Pokemon, which it is not a Bug-type, but it is in the Water 3 Egg Group, which is the Egg Group that aquatic invertebrates are categorized in. Neat reference.
Shining Genesect and Venusaur... Too many decks I want to make, yet so little money. >_>

Shining Genesect immediately reminded me of Shining Kabutops as well.

It's too uncanny to be coincidental – it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it, but it's nonetheless a reference.
