This is a terrific card. Despite being a Stage 2, it can still abuse Rare Candy and it has 250 HP. Still easily one-shot by Lycanroc-GX and Buzzwole, though. Fighting is still pretty overpowered because all Darkness cards are weak to is Fighting. The Ability is all kinds of great. Yes that’s...

The merchandise looks nice. The card looks pretty bad, just gives me a bootleggy vibe.

Blacephalon-GX is irredeemably sucky. First of all, for that effect, 50 damage per Fire Energy sent to Lost Zone is shamefully low. Plus, it permanently destroys resources, which is never ever a good thing. Blacephalon’s GX attack is basically “Take a Prize card”, but with the added effect of...

Reason for that being: Charizard cards are ALWAYS for the collectors. That’s why there are so few competitively viable Charizard. Look at how expensive Charizard-GX from BUS is. Sure it’s only maybe $10 for the regular art now, but imagine if even more people wanted to get their hands on it...

Fairy Alolan Ninetails GX is preeeeeeetty bad. You’re sacrificing 2HKO/OHKO damage for something that can grab you two Items when it evolves... If you’re planning on using it with Gardevoir, just use Zoroark-GX or Sylveon-GX, both are vastly superior AND can hit for 2HKOs. Mina is going to be...

Sceptile is really good for getting staples. Guzma price will go down too, thanks to that.

For a budget meme deck on par with Dugtrio, use Nincada, Ninjask, and Shedinja, plus the Victory Star Victini to use the Abilities to set up a no-prize, no-retreat attacker that hits for 2HKOs with Choice Band for 1 Energy 75% of the time. It’s not a good deck or a meta deck, it’s just a new...

Oh my god this set is memey as fudge. I love it.

The new Grovyle is fun, but Sceptile-GX is pretty tame compared to something like Shiftry-GX. I’d just use CST Sceptile with Grovyle, at least that’s immune to Beast Box and can deal more damage with good acceleration. Mina sucks, regardless. Yes it searches your deck for a {Y} Energy, but...

Naturally.

You mentioned Energy Recycler and I remembered: Energy Recycle System was printed too and relatively overlooked. Effects is like Rescue Stretcher but for basic Energy. Pretty good in Bulu (which needs a guaranteed Grass manual attachment per turn), but maybe good for Ray?? What do you think?

So both sides have benefits. Vikavolt: Lightning AND Grass acceleration for 2 confirmed attachments per turn with 1 of them up (safer, too), Can also OHKO if deck runs Choice Band. Magnezone: Essentially endless Lightning per turn with one of them up, deck can use Dashing Pouch, Lady can put...

Responding: 1&2: What’s easier to set up, 1 Stage 2, or 2 Stage 2s? Answer will always be 1 Stage 2. 3: Ah fudge, you’re right. I wasn’t looking at the card in question. Good point, but Ray’s you’re attacking Pokémon anyways. That’s a good point for using Vika over Magne, but it’s not enough...

Recommend replacing Unit with Rainbow Energy. Reason: Banette-GX ability.

I heard tell that it might be a mini set in February. Don’t quote me on that though. Japan gets it August 3rd though, so we’ll see how they use it.
