That Clefairy sure likes to imitate Kirlia. Now, all it needs it an actually decent Clefable, so it can wreak havoc.

The Clefable it gets in this set is… not it.
A Gust effect on a Pokémon used to be more relevant… back in 2008 and 2009, when there was no Pokémon Reversal, or Pokémon Catcher (pre and post erratum) or Lysandre or Boss’s Orders.
Taking an additional prize is of course a solid effect to have, but it either has to do much more than 50 damage or cost a little less than 3 Psychic to be seriously considered.

As for Hitmonchan… If there’s a case to be made for the reintroduction of +10 and +20 Weakness modifiers, this Pokémon just made it. Consider, that even with just Fire Energy attached, both Gardevoir and Zacian V still kill it in one hit. And against a properly played Gardevoir, this Hitmonchan could have 300 HP and still fall like a fly. Those 30 it deals in return? “Tis but a scratch.” Gardevoir replies.

This Clefairy is printed to support the Clefable ex, suppose you want to upgrade from the ex Started decks.

It's not great, but not terrible if you can somehow make them work.

W clefable, not every card needs to be for a meta deck. Sometimes if it fits in a fun casual deck that's ok.

Also, I think it's a fun addition into a moon dancing Clefairy+wyrdeer deck or as part of a reversal energy zoroark transform deck

Clefairy/Clefable - This Clefairy is useless since we have a better one, this Clefable can b another Reversal fodder. Also, a tech for the ex. 1/3

Hitmonchan - pretty much explained before. I hate bland, and very tryhard cards like this. We've seen this on a literal Cacnea and it's not good, why do expect the same thing here? 2

I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there somewhere we can see the currently known full set list?
