    Kilowattrel ex, Scrafty, Roto-Stick, and Other Gym Promos Revealed for April!

    Lottery Stick > Roto Stick, the selfie stick that you get in the Teal Mask DLC, which lets the user take selfies from a further distance. Why you need a selfie stick with a Rotom Phone despite it being a possessed cellphone that can float around on its own is beyond me.

    Tera Dragapult ex, Palafin ex, Legacy Energy ACE SPEC from “Mask of Change” Revealed!

    Palafin ex is essentially the Pokemon equivalent to Yu-Gi-Oh's "Garnet" - a card important to a strategy, but does nothing meaningful if it ends up in your hand. The Palafin ex must be in the deck for baby Palafin to switch into it.

    “Twilight Masquerade” Pokemon TCG Set Officially Revealed for May!

    Sinistcha was introduced in the Teal Mask like Ogerpon, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, and Dipplin were. It being in the pack artwork is fine.

    50 Cards Revealed from “Wild Force” and “Cyber Judge,” Including Tera Pokemon, ACE SPEC, Illustration Rares!

    Metagross: Comet Punch > Meteor Mash - the move is associated with it and Metang. Although Comet Punch exists as a move name in English, it's named differently in Japanese (Consecutive Punch) Farigiraf: Tail Armor > Armor Tail, its signature ability in the games that blocks priority moves like...

    New Pokemon ex and More Illustration Rares Revealed from “Ancient Roar” and “Future Flash!”

    Spinda: Staggered Foot > Tangled Feet, an ability in the Pokemon games that boosts evasiveness when confused; the confusion damage prevention on a coin flip is meant to simulate this.

    Gholdengo ex, Hoopa ex, and Illustration Rares from “Raging Surf” Revealed!

    Attack name changes: Gholdengo ex: Gold Rush > Make It Rain, its signature move in the video games.

    Illustration Rares, Pidgeot ex, and More Revealed from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Glimmet: Iron Wall > Iron Defense, a move it gets by TM.

    All “Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst” Main Set Cards Revealed!

    Japanese name is different from the card - translated, it's the exact same as Attack Order Raid Command: しゅうげきしれい Attack Order: こうげきしれい

    All “Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst” Main Set Cards Revealed!

    Attack translation changes: Luxray: Wild Bolt > Wild Charge, a move that plenty of Electric Pokemon get. Mabosstiff: Get Even > Comeuppance, a countering move it learns upon evolving from Maschiff. More to come later if possible

    Tinkaton ex, Treasures of Ruin Special Illustration Rares from “Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst!”

    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...

    Wo-Chien ex, Flamigo Illustrator Rare, and More from “Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst!”

    I can't wait to see the full art and illustration rare artworks of Wo-Chien, just so we can have different takes on the Live Wo-Chien reaction meme; it's not likely, but I'm hoping for an extreme close up on the illustration rare.

    “Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst” Sets Featuring Chien-Pao ex and Ting-Lu ex Officially Revealed!

    Translation changes: Rabsca: Revival Prayer > Revival Blessing, the only revival move in the games. And I have a feeling that Iono will be one expensive card (full art specifically), not only because Iono is a popular character herself, but the effect could make her a staple.

    Tinkaton, Tinkatuff, & Tinatink from ‘Triplet Beat’!

    Its base HP is 85. It's not winning awards in that department, but it's usable. The low HP in the TCG most likely refers to Tinkaton's shortness.

    “Scarlet ex and Violet ex” Cards Fully Revealed!

    Translation changes: Houndstone: Grave Visit > Last Respects, its signature move in the games Annihilape: Enraged Fist > Rage Fist, its signature move in the games Florges: Moon Force > Moonblast, a Fairy move that the vast majority of Fairy Pokemon learn Tandemaus: Double Attack > Double...
  15. PlatinumDude

    Swords of Justice, Claydol, Stonjourner, and More from “Paradigm Trigger!”

    Just one name change: Cobalion: Heart of Justice > Justified, the shared ability of the legendary musketeers.
