GyaradosPrime

Okay how about this, what does the term errata mean? In relation with rare candy. And what is the going first rule? Apparently it is new

GyaradosPrime, Great! Well, don't hesitate to ask anything else!

Sorry about the wait. I've fixed the typo. It allows you to return an SP Pokémon to your hand.

HGSS
2010 was the year of a whole new era, with new types of Pokémon and trainers that would dramatically change play.
They introduced the Prime, a special evolution card with a jagged and shiny border that usually worked well in combination with other cards.
They introduced the LEGEND, which needs both halves to be played at the same time, and has amazing HP and very powerful attacks, the drawback being that you take two prize cards when one is defeated.
They introduced Baby Pokémon with the Sweet Sleeping Face ability, which could work as great starters and each was unique, a key point being that Pichu was the prerelease promo for the set. That meant that every player in a prerelease of HGSS got one special Pichu. Pichu was, and is, an amazing starter if you want to get Pokémon onto the field.
They introduced (or in some cases reintroduced) amazing trainers such as Pokémon Collector, Copycat, Pokémon Communication and Double Colourless Energy. In the current format, you should always run at least one of these cards.
Of all of these cards, there are some stars that have seen a lot of play since their release. I'll run quickly over them.
Feraligatr Prime
Lets you get water energy instantly onto the field from your hand when you use his Poké-Power.
Typhlosion Prime
Lets you recycle discarded Fire energy when you use his Poké-Power, attatch it to a Pokémon, but put one damage counter on them.
Jumpluff
The pioneer of swarms, Jumpluff does more damage for the more Pokémon you have on the bench. Cinccino was introduced this year with a similar attack,and so the work very nicely together. Even before 2011, Jumpluff was winning big competitions alongside Pokemon Collector.
Ninetales
His Poké-Power allows you to discard a Fire energy from your hand and draw 3 cards. This means that he's a perfect partner for Typhlosion, allowing drawpower and also preparing Typhlosion, getting two energy and one damage counter on him each turn. For this, Ninetales is always a useful tech in fire decks.
Donphan Prime
An all-round great card, it'd be surprising if you didn't know what Donphan did. His Exoskeleton takes 20 damage away from any attacks done to him, meaning that most basics that evolve into something can't even touch him. His Earthquake allows 60 damage for one Fighting energy, at the drawback of 10 damage to each of your benched Pokémon. His other attack always does a concrete 90 damage, not affected by anything else, for 3 Fighting energy. When the Arceus set was still legal, he could be paired with Bench Shields that stop one of your Benched Pokémon from being harmed by attacks, and so he could safely do several Earthquakes without harming benched Pokemon you care about.

STORY BREAK
Any more questions?

"Poke-turn allowed you to return poke-turn to your hand" does that mean you could use the same physical card more than once in a tturn? Or would it be like using 2 separate poketurn cards? Or did you mean return a pokemon? Like ssu or seeker?

Other than that please continue

The SP engine was feared because it was consistent, hard-hitting and there was barely anything that could stop it until Donphan Prime arrived. The only other popular decks were really Gyarados from Stormfront (which Luxray X is supereffective against) and smaller, but still useful decks back then. They almost all used evolutions, though, and SP ripped right through these evolutions.

But, what was the SP engine?

The SP engine was built up of trainers and Pokémon that interlock to form a sturdy and reliable deck.
These certain trainers include Cyrus' Conspiracy, SP Energy, SP Radar, Energy Gain, Poké-Turn, Power Spray and Galactic HQ.
Popular combos that were frequently used included Skuntank G and Galactic HQ, and the most deadly combo of all SPs...
Crobat G and Poké-Turn. Crobat's Flash Bite Poké-Power allowed the user to place a damage counter on one of the opponent's Pokémon when played. Poké-Turn allowed you to return an SP Pokémon to your hand. So, you could have 4 of each in your deck and be doing a lot of damage by recycling Crobat several times in one or more turns.

But, the metagame wasn't over yet. Because there was still a lot more to come from the Arceus series and onwards...

Spiritomb from Arceus
Finally, a card that brought evolutions back into the run! Spiritomb was another Pokémon with all-round decency that could use a free attack (called Darkness Grace) to search your deck for a Pokémon that evolves from one of your Pokémon in play and evolve it directly onto the card as the attack. TYhe only penalty was one damage counter on Spiritomb, and with 60HP and no weakness, you can happily do that and prepare alongside BTS (Broken Time-Space) whilst they prepare their SP engine so that you can evolve Pokémon safely and efficiently. And you could be getting Stage 2 Pokémon up in two turns if you used Darkness Grace first turn to evolve, then played a Bebe's Search Supporter the next to search for the final evolution if Spiritomb had fainted and put it onto your Stage 1.
And, as an added bonus, Spiritomb had a Poké-Body called Keystone Seal that didn't allow either player to play trainers whilst he was active. This stopped most of the cards in the SP engine from being played, including Poké-Turn.
This looked like evolutions were back in it with a chance, and they were until this year. But there's more to talk about from 2010...

STORY BREAK
Yes, the Sableye is the same one used for donking and locking. But I'll come to that when we get to 2011, when he was actually able to donk. Any more questions before I move on to 2010?

Well what was SOOOO good about sps in gameplay that they had an entire engine to themselves and everyone gated them. Was that sableye the same card used in sablock and sabldonk? And if you don't mind please continue also thank you for the uploading directions I should gave something posted by the 17th

I can also give you some background on the 2009-on metagame.
Sableye from Stormfront
I'll set the scene. It's 2008. Stormfront, the final DP set has been released.
Sableye from Stormfront is used worldwide as a starter. This was initially just for his Poke-Body, allowing Sableye to always go first. He also has a free attack where you can search your deck for a Supporter and use its effect as the attack. Both very nice, but these weren't always the main attraction.
2009 comes along with the Platinum quartet. This introduces basic Pokemon owned by Gym Leaders, Team Galactic and the Elite Four. They can level up into very good Level Xs. A deck consisting of Luxray GL Level X and Garchomp C Level X is made. Luxray X and Dialga G X is another branch if it. Both use certain trainers that support SPs and ensure that they are quickly put into play. Any questions, or shall I continue?
