Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf from ‘Sky Legend!’ By: Water Pokémon Master Posted 2 years ago to TCG 23 comments The legendary Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf have been revealed from Sky Legend! The set releases on April 25th. Thanks goes to Tunu for translating! Uxie – Psychic – HP70 Basic Pokemon Ability: Secret Territory If you have Mesprit and Azelf in play, apply Weakness for each Pokemon (both yours and your opponent’s) as x4 instead. [C][C][C] Psyshot: 30 damage. Weakness: Psychic (x2) Resistance: none Retreat: 1 Mesprit – Psychic – HP60 Basic Pokemon [P] Contact: Search your deck for up to 3 Basic Pokemon and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck. [P] Mumble: 20 damage. Weakness: Psychic (x2) Resistance: none Retreat: 1 Azelf – Psychic – HP70 Basic Pokemon [C] Psypower: Put 3 damage counters on your opponent’s Pokemon in any way you like. Weakness: Psychic (x2) Resistance: none Retreat: 1 (I once heard a TCG player call it ‘Yuck-see’ instead of ‘Yuke-see’ and never corrected him. :x)
Uxie has the really cool ability to me. Dealing x4 weakness might open some possibilities for other attackers that only do like 50 or 70 damage instead, probably needing the quad weakness support to knock out pokemon like Tag Teams. Not a fan of the other 2 individually. Mesprit will be in a format where Professor Elm's Lecture exists, and even if you didn't like the 60HP requirement there's ULP Shaymin and CES Dunsparce, and Azelf's Psycho Power does too little I think. I'd rather use the other Azelf and maybe sneak in that attack only usable on your first turn going second.
The Azelf could be good for like 30 anywhere but the Uxie has too much set up required and the misprint requires psychic energy instead of colorless like the Azelf.
Why is it that out of all of the Legendary trios, the Pixies and only the Pixies get these weird abilities that rely on all three being in play? lol
Uxie could be more useful paired with some previous iterations of Mesprit and Azelf. I remember the Double Colorless attack Mesprit being a decent rogue deck back when it first came out -- but that was when Buzzwole was big, so Mesprit had a relevant type advantage. Maybe some Expanded ones I don't know about? At the very least, this seems quite easy to set up, provided you can spare the Bench space. They're all basics.
The lake trio will never get ultra rares, will they? They just love making these poor guys into weird random inserts into a set. It's been like 12 years Pokemon, can I please see them get some love? The collector in me is dying for it.
Uxie's ability is a much improved version of Allergy Panic Vileplume and has plenty of attackers to take advantage of it in both standard and expanded. Before, the consistency and deck space issues of running a stage 2 made the deck far too clumsy and slow to function, but now that Uxie will be doable as soon as turn 1 and for far less card slots, The deck should have the speed, consistency, and room for all the attackers required to actually be fairly functional. Looking forward to seeing what builds people come up with.
okay but how to guarantee weakness edit: it'd be great if someone came up with a deck of a bunch of mons from every type attacking for big numbers using double/triple/rainbow/counter energy to counter everything.
Silvally GX would be the one to fill the jank weakness exploiting spot with the memories. It also lets you retreat the lake trio for free. There's also the Magearna that lets you take a tool off. It MIGHT not be good but it will be hilarious when it works and the most plausible.
Great, could be anti meta like those fairy charm decks. kind of possible with triple energy edit: 480 overkill tho
If fighting was ever to become big (Psychic weak fighting, unlike Zygarde-GX which I expect to get big once this set is out) this Uxie and Azelf, with the Mesprit from Forbidden Light (20 for a DCE, but if Uxie is on your bench it does 70) with shrine could be good fun.
I'm already thinking if there are funny shenanigans with the 3 Kecleon who are using Unit Energy to kill everything^^
therest the dunsparce from celestial storm that does the same thing for (C) and you can switch it to the bench after that
