I think I was expecting the Chein Pao art to be a bit more passive like the Zeraora Alt Art from Chilling Reign but this is so bad ass. So glad I'm holding on buying SV Base Set so I can get a hold of this set
 
Tinkaton ex is a bit meh, but should be a funny meme deck to build around.

Pairing it with the Lost Zone engine can have it hit hilariously hard.
 
Wonder what AR will be after Flamigo in Clay Burst since there are no more Pokemon available.

Will it be another Palkia mix up?

Will it be another Flamigo?

Will it be a Pokemon from a previous set?

Will it be an Item Art Rare?

Interesting.
 
My mind is thinking up a nasty fortress luxray zygarde deck, that new energy is fantastic.

I love how they actually attempting to do what they say with focusing on comeback mechanics
 
Luxray:

Wild Bolt > Wild Charge, a move it gets in the video games and also inflicts recoil damage in both the TCG and the video games.

Wo-Chien ex's illustration rare is here, but not in the way I expected. No extreme closeup, but it's still judging you from a distance, still qualifying as a Live Wo-Chien Reaction.
 
Did we really need another Shinx line? It's overkill now, move onto some other Pokemon, there's only 1000+ to choose from.
You know tpc plays favorites, sableye, floatzal, luxray, all get get 2 cards a years at least
 
Single strike primape might see some play now, it has 2 good annihalape evos it can use.

Use the ex as earl/mid game tech and use the single prize one to close out games.

But it should be a ss primape deck first and foremost.
 
Im cooking (work in progress), I love this set so far.

4 pineco
3 foretress
2 bidoof
2 bibarel
4 Luxray
2 zygarde(evs)
1 rad charizard

4 iono
1 Roxanne
2 pal pad
4 battle vip pass
4 ultra ball
2 boss orders
1 arezu
1 echoing horn
1 switch
1 super rod
3 Great ball
1 klara
4 pokegear
2 Beach court

3 luminous energy
4 reversal energy
5 grass energy


Hammers and fans sound good here too, defiant band or choice belt as well.

Mew >Bidaral maybe???
 
That Tinkatink is begging to be abused in some stall. Good thing Crushing Hammer rotates out.
On the other hand, Tinkaton ex has a very good and cheap attack that can easily hit for 300+. I think that's a whole deck right there.
