    Amoonguss, Foongus from Black Bolt!

    Why is Amoonguss cursed to always have awful cards yet its singular Paradox print is used in every poison deck imaginable.

    Wait — Where’s Tera Box?

    One of the big reasons it began to fall off in my opinion was more to do with its overall momentum relying on a sustained flow of Teal Dances and Jewel Seekers. Too often do Tera Boxes go for the Wellspring Crystal donk and either fail or succeed 50% of the time because they need to use Crispin...

    Joltik Box — The New Miraidon deck

    With the return of Dynamotor and the addition of Zekrom ex in BB/WF, it's becoming more and more possible for Lightning as a whole to make a strong comeback in the latter half of the year. Zekrom being able to do 230 after losing an ex already makes it incredibly strong, and you can move into a...

    Allergy Season — Deck Building in Budew’s World

    If TPCi wanted us to play more supporters, they made it work. Never before would I be using Jacq, Janine's, and Brock's Hydreigon but because they completely killed the viability of an Item based meta that was *already going to fall off* when Budew was printed, every other deck suffers while...

    “The Glory of Team Rocket” All 98 Main Set Cards Revealed!

    The Nidoking ex is going to be huge for turning Pecharunt Donk into an actual deck that likes attacking and *survives* past the first few turns when someone gets two starting mons, but like half of the Trainer Cards outside of Supporters are all kind of dogwater. Watchtower only counters...

    Huntail, Gorebyss from The Glory of Team Rocket!

    This makes a Black Kyurem ex tech against Bolt and Dragapult even better since you're building up reserves of energies while Kyurem stalls for setup time. Once it goes down, that's 3 or 4 water energies added to your steamroll against additional mons. The only problem is Huntail's 110 HP makes...

    Pokemon Center Says More “Destined Rivals” Product Coming!

    The fact that TPCi has not made any legal action towards the storefronts and distributors enabling the shitty scalping practices with some of the most backhanded tactics I've ever seen for a damn card game, begs the opinion that they are completely unaware of how truly hopeless this situation...

    Hasta La Vista, Baby — Post-Rotation Primer

    I paired Bellibolt with Jolteon ex for extremely consistent 240's and a copy of Zapdos ex to let the bench damage effect chase down retreating cards since the 90 after 240 equals to 330. Definitely need to test it physically when the time comes however.

    Hasta La Vista, Baby — Post-Rotation Primer

    Lycanroc will be insane with Mega Lucario, trust. But aside from the Budew nonsense I'm running ahead with my own deck ideas even if they're not super strong. Lillie's Clefairy is my only out against Dragapult while playing Hydreigon and the Bellibolt idea I have seems to be doing numbers in...

    Hasta La Vista, Baby — Post-Rotation Primer

    It will be some time until Miraidon gets another turn in the spotlight. I've recently been tinkering with an Iono's Bellibolt & Jolteon ex deck and through playtesting I'm seeing it pull very consistent damage upon being extremely flexible, but unfortunately Miraidon doesn't fit in this...

    “Heat Wave Arena” All 63 Main Set Cards Revealed!

    Your proposition is duly noted. Safeguard Pokémon as a whole are mainly a gust/tech check to unoptimized decks. While Safeguard will become stronger with the departure of Cancelling Cologne, I doubt Mimikyu or Mysterious Shield Aegislash will become super popular as Fire types are also getting...

    “Heat Wave Arena” All 63 Main Set Cards Revealed!

    Ethan's Ho-Oh is the best Fire type generator in a long time and Cynthia box will absolutely be BDIF once the Mega set drops with the friggin' Fighting damage boosting item. Yanmega ex is possibly the best Grass type attacker in this entire generation and it can move those energies to other...

    “Heat Wave Arena” All 63 Main Set Cards Revealed!

    It has one retreat so Rescue Board is perfect for it pivoting with other Yanmega, the attack itself is baller and it lets you move energies to other Grass types like Venusaur ex. Two Lilligant (if that card ever reaches the west) will boost its attack to 250 letting it handle basically any basic...

    “Pokemon Card Game MEGA” Trademarked, Goodbye “Scarlet & Violet!”

    Welp, Scarlet & Violet is ending off with a pretty half-assed Tera lineup and a pretty decent selection of Owner's right now. At the very least, Z-A TCG sets will start at some point in the 4th quarter because I highly doubt the game itself would arrive any earlier. With that in mind, I can...

    Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Special Illustration Rare Revealed from “Heat Wave Arena!”

    There's a legit good amount of owner's Pokémon that are perfectly fine standalone and as individual archetypes. Hop Box as well as Hop's Pincurchin ex are nice, Lillie's Clefairy ex will be mandatory for any decks that use Psychic energy in any capacity to deal with Dragon types and Underdepths...

    Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex Revealed, Different Than the Original Mechanic!

    Since Mega Charizard X and I assume Y are confirmed to return, then Venusaur and Blastoise should also get them. Mega Charizard Y is going to be the only good one out of the bunch since it can potentially use Ethan's Ho-Oh and Armarouge to accelerate if necessary or it can tag alongside TeraZard...

    Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex Revealed, Different Than the Original Mechanic!

    I have so many questions. How in the hell will basic Mega ex Pokemon like Mewtwo and Mawile, god forbid Rayquaza, be sized for their HP? Because I'm not sure if I'm mentally prepared for 280 HP Mega Mewtwo X and 260 HP Mega Mewtwo Y. Also why not just place the evolutions on top of prior ex's...

    Ponyta and Rapidash from Heat Wave Arena!

    Would be good after we lose Dodrio's Zooming Draw and Gholdengo, but I can't justify its use even if you set up three of these with underdepths when Dodrio can actually use the self damage to its benefit and even Dundunsparce is around for two more years.

    Ethan’s Pinsir & Ethan’s Sudowoodo from Heat Wave Arena!

    I guess Sudowoodo can be a more casual friendly tech to absolutely nuke specific decks but eh. Both are bulk.

    Teal, Hearthflame, Wellspring, and Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon from Heat Wave Arena!

    Unfortunately bulk but Ogerpon is my favorite Gen 9 Pokémon so I'm gonna get them all.
