The black cells deck box is pretty cool. I might order that one.

Krookodile’s Tighten Up really should be 60 damage and discard three cards. Dusknoir + Reversal Energy = 370 damage. Xerosic’s Machinations + three dark energy = 240 damage. This could be an interesting card.

So where’s the full set list?

Ah…that makes sense. Thanks!

No Nido. Not The King.

The ability here is the same as Zoroark-GX. Why not copy+paste the wording?

LONG LIVE THE KING

“Wellspring Ogerpon is basically a consistent turn 2 Radiant Greninja’s Moonlight Shuriken in a format with no Manaphy.” I wish we had a collection of phrases like this from every major standard era. Imagine saying this to a top player in 2009 and gauging how confused he’d be.

Between Team Rocket’s Kangaskhan, Kangaskhan ex, and single prize Kangaskhan, my Kangaskhan tribal deck is coming along nicely *rubs hands together*

And yet I haven’t seen physical PTCG products in stores in over 12 months.

Combine with Emolga (TWM) which for one colorless energy does 10 damage base plus 10 damage to all benched Pokémon. Add Brute Bonnet (PAR), Ancient Booster capsule, and Binding Mochi to bring the total attack damage to 120+160+60 (340). Use Relicanth (TEF) so you can use Prime Ape’s Drag Off...

120 for three energy plus 120 to the bench. Could work with Mela.

Mewtwo (SVP) has the same HP and the same attack but it costs two colorless and only does 20 damage. I suppose if you’re looking to play a metal Pokémon with that kind of attack this card is ok, but otherwise…meh.

Mamoswine ex + Vivillon (SSP) which can evolve turn 1 from Spewpa (SVI) and Scatterbug (SVI). You’re welcome.

120 damage for a single colorless on a stage one - AND draw four? google is going to lose his mind over this.

Honest question: what defines a season, and how are quarters measured? I thought every new set release was a new “season” (at least for standard).

Gouging Fire is an automatic 170 for 3 energy in a pre-release. A bit slow out the gate, but once it’s powered up you’ll be hard to beat. Magneton decks will be fast and self destructive. It only works for lightning, so those decks will essentially be mono colored. Chien Pao has…stadium hate...

I understand that this is a way for the company to offload extra volume of old product but I always feel a bit sad and a bit nostalgic when I see these. Silver Tempest was the last time I attended a prerelease. I vividly remember the hype around the “new” Pokémon V and the end of the GX era...

It’s an option, not a solution. Look at paid-only substack writers; their “free” content has enough quality to entice readers into a subscription. Don’t tell me what I already know, throw two paragraphs of fluff in my face, and expect me to subscribe in the off chance that any worthwhile content...

3/4ths of the articles on Pokebeach are card releases. If all I cared about was the text on the card for the latest leak I’d go to Justin Basil or suffer through a certain YouTuber screaming at me for 10 minutes. Instead, I come here for thought provoking, relevant, insightful commentary...
