It’s not in Spain because of gambling laws

If the opportunity cost of not using Radiant Greninja didn’t exist, this would be a pretty decent card. Dunno what spread decks even exist right now where this matters against but you can put this down, heal 20, Scoop Up Net, put it down and heal another 20, and that’s pretty interesting.

I’m curious to see how this interacts with Jirachi Prism Star. [Edit] My guess is that Jirachi Prism’s ability still works, because it states, “before you put it in your hand,” while Barbaracle is, “instead of your hand.” If Jirachi Prism heads for the bench, Barbaracle doesn’t say “instead of...

Did I somehow offend you by telling a personal anecdote relating to why I don’t mind CG Art on cards as someone who’s made Pokémon a major part of their lives for two decades? Imagine we were buds and after I talk about my childhood, your immediate response is “let’s break down the FALLACIES...

I was an art kid in elementary school, and back then I thought CG renders were the coolest things because it was something I couldn’t draw. I know they’re cheaper and relatively easy to make as an adult but I still have a bit of a soft spot for them tbh. Also regular art Vs are bulk-adjacent...

Radiant Zard is so strong it makes me wonder a little if they actually play tested it beforehand. Raihan + Twin + Magma Basin lets it swing as early as 5 prizes (a little unrealistic in standard.) Raihan + Twin Energy lets it swing at 4 prize cards. Raihan/Magma Basin + any energy at 3, and it...

There are a ton of chase cards in this set and I'm happy to see the set to momentarily be a little more affordable

In Expanded, Ball Guy's a pretty easy way to search 2 Level Balls + Quick Ball and find Jirachi Prism, Mr. Mime, and Oranguru. If your deck opts for Jirachi EX for Scoop Up Net synergy, Level Ball is a pretty legitimate option.

Amazing Death has to be the funniest attack name since God Damn Punch Incineroar

I’ve just accepted that I don’t get to keep cards in hand this season.

ReshiRom is insane for a lot of reasons. Seems like you could very easily build a deck with 4/4 Lillie/Welder, 4/4 Acro Bike/Order Pad, and stuff like Rainbow Brush, Mysterious Treasure, Fiery Flint, etc. Insane card, most likely going to be a top tier threat when the set comes out because you...

Sorry to be a letdown but I'm dropping LOL ReshiZard is tier 4 See y'all

ReshiZard is tier 4. Don't play this deck

Optimal engines will depend on the deck, but I will say that Acro Bike is significantly better than Judge Whistle. Running 4 Judge Whistles with a couple of Judges thrown in there is cute, but Judge Whistle is just so underwhelming and I'd rather use Reset Stamp for hand disruption than Judge.

You could also just 2HKO your own Marshadow with Shadow Impact to both prevent cards like Counter Catcher or Lt. Surge and also to be able to reuse Let Loose with Rescue Stretcher.
