‘CoroCoro’ Reveals New Zygarde Core; Greninja BREAK, Manaphy-EX from XY9 By: Water Pokémon Master Posted 5 years ago to Games, TCG 45 comments CoroCoro magazine has leaked, revealing Greninja BREAK and Manaphy-EX from Rage of the Broken Sky. Both Pokemon have Abilities. Unfortunately, the images are far too small and pixelated to read, but we’ll probably have their translations sometime this week. A second Zygarde Core with a blue-colored hexagon was also revealed in the magazine. It will debut in the XY&Z anime. We don’t know anything else about it right now. Maybe the TCG sets “RED Flash” and “BLUE Impact” now have more meaning with this new blue Zygarde?
The manaphy has an ability... and most of the mythical legendar EX'S were staples...will this be a new staple?
Previous Manaphy cards have all been about energy acceleration or deck searching, in essence some kind of really nice support for water type Pokemon so perhaps Manaphy EX will be a welcome partner to M Gyarados EX... Or not.
Manaphy EX is going to be a mandatory 2-3 of in water/every deck in the future, calling it now. Think about it the last 2 promo cute/small legendaries we've had were mandatory 1-3 ofs in every deck aka Jirachi EX and Shaymin EX.
When I saw these I got excited. Just the thought of a Manaphy Full Art.. I'm ready. Greninja BREAK looks good too. I'm curious to see what the abilities both of these have. Edit: Wait, 170 HP on Greninja? Dang that's even more than Chesnaught BREAK. I'm probably not even close but maybe Manaphy it would be interesting if had an ability similar to Rough Seas, heal some damage from each of your Water Pokemon. Just a thought since some Pokemon have abilities similar to stadiums.
umm no chesnaught has 190 also really hyped about these and since no one else has said anything the 2 Zygarde cores represent Xerneas and Yveltal I think Manaphy will be really good and has lots of potential
This would make retaliation gyarados more fun to play, magikarp 70 hp and maybe add pinsir...it'd be a fun deck, still not meta imo
So hyped for Greninja!! Is that free retreat on the stage 2 I see? I definitely want to look into Greninja Break when it's released, one of my favourite Pokemon. Maybe I'll work on a Greninja/Toad deck in the meantime...
I'm most excited for Greninja BREAK as it could potentially be a great tech in for Greninja (XY). My current favorite deck for Standard is Archie's Greninja with Miltank and depending on Greninja BREAK's attack, it could be a useful optional attacker that is easier to get out than most BREAK Pokemon. EDIT: On second thought, Greninja BREAK doesn't have an attack, just another ability, so stacking Water Shurikan with Greninja BREAKS ability could be great too.
I'm having a tough time trying to work out the artwork of Greninja break. With Gyarados and now Manaphy, I think my chances of seeing a poli EX or Suicune EX in this set is diminished.
Not sure if I'm the only one who's hype for Manaphy with a Kyogre deck. Not even sure what Manaphy does but I feel it'll have some synergy "not to mention you can dive ball for manaphy"
I am still holding out for a Zygarde CARD of any kind...it's just him and Volcanion left out in the rain (well, joined by Abra and company I suppose). Maybe a multi-stage card set is in store for the future (with the different forms)...perhaps even the set after this one will be Zygarde-centric?
I can make out a Water symbol in Manaphy's ability. and I'm pretty sure the only way for Evolutions to compete with Fighting Spirit Belt is to have a card that allows them to be searched from the deck and placed down as a Basic Pokemon.
That is the Japanese box art for Pokemon Rumble World. They are just showing another zone where you fight Primal Kyogre that comes out on the 19th.
The Non-BREAK Greninja's attack does 60+ Damage and involves a water energy within the attack effect.
I can't imagine Zygarde not being the focus of the entire set. It doesn't seem like that is the case with XY9. The next set or the set after that seems more plausible and potentially lines up with the new game(s).
