    February's English Set: 'Team Up!'

    The Japanese and English translations are different if you are using Erika through some effect other than playing it directly from your hand, and you currently have five cards in your hand. By the Japanese version, you have less than six cards in your hand including Erika, since you don't have...

    Major 'Pokemon Switch' Rumors Today -- A Breakdown and Analysis!

    I'm pretty sure this game is real at this point, and I'm definitely disappointed. I agree, I'm sick of all the Kanto stuff they keep throwing at us. That said, not sure why there's so much rabid hatred of Pokemon go. I like Go for what it is, and I would honestly play it a lot more if I wasn't...

    'Forbidden Light,' Japan's SM6 Set!

    I'm sick of Pokemon trying to make the same species of Pokemon good and the same species bad every single time. Like people earlier has said, Greninja always HAS to be the best starter, but also Solgaleo always HAS to be good and Lunala bad, and Gardevoirs always HAVE to be good and Zoroarks...

    SM5+ 'Ultra Force' Releasing in January!

    Well, you can grab it with Maxie in expanded now, which could make it a viable support Pokemon.

    SM5+ 'Ultra Force' Releasing in January!

    Well, Steel Frying Pan goes well with things like Solgaleo and DW Necrozma that don't need Choice Band to get their KOs anyway. Definitely a boon to those. Or for that matter things that can't get KOs even with Choice band.

    SM5+ 'Ultra Force' Releasing in January!

    If you use Shining Celebi to make Naganadel use Poipole's attack and you are knocked out, doesn't your opponent still take zero prizes rather than two (because the attack says your opponent takes no prizes, not that your opponent takes one less). In Expanded, Naganadel's first attack could hit...

    News New USUM Trailer: Team Rainbow Rocket, Battle Agency, Catch All Legendaries!

    I'm actually not looking forward to the Rainbow Rocket thing - it doesn't really make sense. Like people earlier said, Archie and Maxie would NOT be working together. And of course, why would Cyrus let Giovanni boss him around if he comes from a universe where he's literally God. And wouldn't...

    Writing Violet's Pokémon Black Randomlocke! [CLOSED]

    You could restart the Locke - i still want to see the story you planned out.

    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    Ignore the GX move for a second. It's just a better Aurorus-EX, and that SAW PLAY in Waterbox last year for Koing everything in decks like Greninja. Of course the format has changed, but it certainly could be situationally useful. In an expanded Blastoise deck, it can hit for damage that Keldeo...

    Burned Special Condition Likely Returning to the TCG, New Ruling Change

    With this effect on Burn, white Kyurem can hit a consistent kill on all Pokemon in the format except Primal Groudon, Kyogre and Wailord.

    Burned Special Condition Likely Returning to the TCG, New Ruling Change

    Sorry getting mixed up with Black Kyurem, does 220!

    Burned Special Condition Likely Returning to the TCG, New Ruling Change

    What about White Kyurem EX in expanded? Acceleration with DDE and Reshiram, gets 300 HP with its ACE spec, and can now hit for 170 every time. That seems like the best burner in expanded right now...

    It could almost make ancient trait Dragonite viable with DDE, but 2 stage 2s is a bit much in this format.

    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    But FoGP is still rotating out at the end of this season, so it won't matter if Vikavolt is in the base set. But anyhow,

    It could see play for its first two attacks, though. It's basically a cheaper-attacking Aurorus EX that can draw cards if you start with it, and Aurorus EX saw play.
