    'Shining Fates' is February's Special Set!

    I’m gonna be a hipster and hope I get FA Ball Guy, for the lulz.

    'Shocking Volt Tackle,' Japan's September Set!

    So, expanded Marshadow GX, toss Shedinja into the discard, with the Ariados that lets you poison the opponent’s active each turn with its ability on the bench. Basically an easier to set up Raticate BREAK deck with all the utility of a standard Marshadow Box.

    SM11 Miracle Twins!

    Yes! I was hoping for Megas to return in tag teams. Prepare for a $500 RR M Charizard X & M Charizard Y tag team card.

    'Unbroken Bonds,' May's English SM10 Set!

    Oooooo, pair this with Shining Legends Venusaur perhaps? I guess that wouldn't have the accelleration of Malamar (or even that new Porygon-Z).

    Expanded Tapu-krow krow

    I would try to make room for a 2-1/1 or 3-2/1 line of Sneasel-Weavile. The Rule of Evil Weavile can do 60 damage to all Pokemon with abilities (including yours) for 1 energy and the new one from SM5 does 50 damage times the amount of your opponent's Pokemon with abilities. 2-1/1 is probably best...

    News Japan's December Sets: 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon!'

    They've just started doing single type dragon attack costs. The first one has already been released, Alolan Exeggutor GX, which only requires grass. Also, a couple days ago dragon type Garchomp was spoiled and it only requires fighting energy. I feel like it's their way of making playable...

    News Japan's December Sets: 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon!'

    I actually want to try this out with 4 of the Lurantis Promo. Going second on turn 1, energy evolution into Leafeon GX, Brigette 3 Fomantis, maybe get a 4th with Nest Ball, then grand bloom. Next turn you're potentially hitting for 190 assuming you get the DCE, 220 if you're against a GX and...

    News Japan's December Sets: 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon!'

    lol, yeah just do a Zoroark deck with Sableye, 4 clovers, 4 Puzzle of Time, 2-4 Gladion to unprize the clovers/puzzles, and Kartana GX. Just win by cheating prizes. Still terrible, but could be a meme deck.

    News Japan's December Sets: 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon!'

    I would argue that Machoke GRI is also conditionally better than any Machamp currently in standard :-P, but I agree with your point (Granted Machoke is for the ability, not the attack). A 2-2 line seems to be the best way to use Luxio, but only time will tell I suppose.

    Standard Jungle Blaster: Shining Genesect/Venusaur

    I just built a variant of this online but have yet to test it. I was trying to find room for Zoroark GX and Tapu Koko promo but space is so tight as it is. I also tried to shove Espeon EX and Necrozma, but that's probably too clunky and detracts from the overall gameplan. How would 4-2/2 or...

    News Japan's December Sets: 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon!'

    I like the design of the card, and that prism star Pokémon are basic. Regardless of playability, the collector in me loves the design. It'll be nice having high rarity cards other than the mostly unappealing full arts (I find regular art GX cards way more aesthetically pleasing). Also hoping the...

    News Japan's December Sets: 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon!'

    OMG Sinnoh Starters GX! I will make a Torterra GX deck no matter how bad the card will probably be (GGC for Turtwig's attack? Torterra will need 4 energy minimum for it's stronger attack. Probably 5). Also 80HP on Turtwig is nice. Now just give me Alolan Marowak GX and I'll have everything I...

    Oh wow, that's a good number of move tutor moves. If you don't mind, could you PM me the link with the leaked info? I can't seem to find it anywhere -_-

    News 'Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon' Review Copies Out, Some Spoilers!

    I agree with what you said, and I'm still getting the games. But it doesn't change the fact that not including new Alolan Forms is a huge missed opportunity. Especially since next Gen they will be all but abandoned just like Megas were. Even ORAS, which were remakes and not a "third game" of XY...

    I hope the abysmal Festival Plaza has been canned for literally anything else.

    Despite looking like a Digimon, Zeraora is still a MUCH better looking bipedal cat than Incineroar.

    Standard Janky Raticate Break Deck!

    So I was able to get 4x Nihilego GX (one being a Hyper Rare from a single locked CRI pack lol) and 4x Counter Energy and I can confirm this is a lot of fun to play. Only played a handful of games, losing 1 to Greninja. Probably would have won if I had drawn an energy of any kind in the first 3-4...

    Standard Marshadow GX Toolbox (SHADOWBOX!)

    I have considered Second Coat Smeargle, but unlike Mewbox, your discard enablers are being used to toss tech Pokémon into discard and with Second Coat you'd have to also toss the appropriate energies into discard as well, exhausting some of your resources. Since 4 DCE and 4 Rainbow are pretty...

    Standard Greninja BREAK

    Starmie BREAK is simply for the mirror similar to how Giratina is a counter in other decks strictly for Greninja. Starmie BREAK's attack does 100 damage to all your opponent's Pokémon BREAK for a single water energy. Since it only has a retreat of 1, getting it in to hit all Greninja BREAKs for...

    Standard Marshadow GX Toolbox (SHADOWBOX!)

    Due to his costlier attacks, I'm probably going to avoid it, especially since Latios SHL has essentially the same attack as Buzzwole's first attack for a DCE, is only 1 prize, and can hit for Psychic weakness in a pinch. Though to be fair I don't run Latios either haha. I was actually going to...
