Nice to know you both haven't been in the game too long, gym promos have been released very quickly when they want to.
it was still a long shot but such a targeted nerf card had a chance to be bumped in, next chance is as you say checklane blister, but still severely disappointing that we will...
I think this now confirms that Gym Promo Psyduck won't be in the set, which will leave it in an awkward spot where it may not release
(no place in black white set then scvi block is over, would be out of place to have a scvi card in mega block)
Prerelease is in 9 days, how do we still not know the promos?!
Nothing even leaked is the more odd part but even by now atleast the name of the pokemon is on the promo legality list, but NOTHING!
we have tool removal in format but in a unique (not really, 2nd go at it) way, jamming tower.
tool will be off during your turn and then opponent has to counter stadium n pray
You're thinking too small, with Steven's Metagross ex deck we could play 8 Beldum! (4x Stevens Beldum and 4 Beldum) 4 Metal Makers in play and Metagross ex with no shenanigans
You should talk to your local game store and local Kmart equivalent about how product distribution works. boxes like this are not being chosen but forced upon orders of main set boosters
next card in the set after flapple is #48 (unrevealed) with rufflet being #49 so it's either hydrapple or a colourless basic, pretty safe bet on hydrapple I'd say
it'll probably be left as Power Beam, card definitely seems to wanna push you towards a klinklang engine
