    PokeBeach Turns 20 Years Old!

    I've been diving here in an out over the past decade or so ever since the Noble Victories days, but as a fellow old-timer that grew up in the days of PokeMania-seeing the US premiere the anime with the SS Anne two parter on UPN for some reason, watching The First Movie when it released at his...

    Next Set of TCG Poke Ball Tins Feature Lure Ball!

    Personally speaking, while I do like we are getting more PokeBall variants as tins I kinda wish they would do more themed Deck Boxes with them- so far we have the Main 4(2 PokeBalls, Great, Ultra and Master) and that ensemble with various Balls scattered on a Box. But I'd like to see more...

    All ‘Celebrations’ Cards, Promos, Products Revealed — Full Set Details!

    I'm getting my 4th Cleffa for my WIP Steelix deck now, so I dig it. It's probably the most iconic Neo era card too(Slowking and Sneasel being runner ups) so I....may or may not have screamed from seeing it here.

    TCG Fakes Neo Redux: A Triumphant Return? (Image Based) // Gee, you're big.

    Taking a guess and assuming G-Max will hve a One Per Copy restriction like Megas do?

    Pokemon Officially Reveals Professor Oak Card and Imposter Professor Oak from ‘Celebrations!’

    IMO the only flaw with the US 25th logo is that it's basically a reuse of the 20th anniversary one. However from an aesthetic point of view it makes sense to use it since Pikachu the mascot is Pokemon #25, so if anything the 20th logo should have been different(maybe a PokeBall?)

    Pokemon Officially Reveals Professor Oak Card and Imposter Professor Oak from ‘Celebrations!’

    Oak's 4th Wall break is a trippy yet fun addition. Also taking dibs now and saying the next Boss' Orders print will have Cyrus on it.

    Help V-Union search

    No, as far as we know they are not considerd Basic or Evolution cards but a different category. The only real searchers that work are cards that mill parts like Battle Compressor or Prof. Burnett.

    TCG Fakes Base Set Rebalanced (feat. Jungle and Fossil)

    So HOPTs to tone down Bench stacking and promote deck diversity. Fascinating, though I do wonder if the trend of F.O.O. strategies emerging from when the Rebalanced BJK enters the testing stage is inevitable. After all looking at the WotC guide for the Team Rocket set Wizards had a vastly...

    Discussion "Celebrations" Official Set List

    HCTR getting the spot over Rocket's Sneak Attack or Dark Vileplume is kinda odd. Though I guess being the first ever Holo Trainer card could be why. I wonder if other cards might turn up such as Erikia's Jigglypuff, NG Pichu, Greninja BREAK, Tropical Beach or the Fossil Ditto.

    ‘V Battle Decks’ Featuring Rayquaza V and Noviern V in October!

    What many need to remember with these V Battle decks is that they are intentionally designed to be entry level decks for Beginners, and this has been a constant with such decks going as far back as the old Base Set Machamp deck which was also made for beginner level. The League Battle Decks and...

    Help Question about rotation

    1. Yup. It should be paired whith the hypothetical "F" cards of 2022. 2.just looked through my Inteleon deck to confirm, but it looks like the supermajority of cards will be "D" which means they might not make it without reprints(like how Marnie is getting a rerelease of her cards in a special...

    Help Is This Card Fake?

    Ahh, one of the vintage fake cards of my day. Back in the fun times when you can tell the phonies just by holding the card up to the sunlight. Needless to say they were....never rarely that authentically made compared to real ones then hahahaha.

    25th Anniversary Pikachu Cards Revealed, Including Surfing Pikachu V, Birthday Pikachu, Pikachu V-UNION!

    I absolutely love how Pikachu V-Union is a reference to the original Pokedex entry-makes sense though since Pikachu is Pokemon #25.

    Discussion Been out for 2 years, whats good?

    One big deal is that Fairy Type got retired meaning there has been a pretty big overhaul to the Typing charts(all Fairies now use Psychic Energies,all Poison now use Dark Energy, the majority of Dark these days are weak to Grass) so that's something to prep for(same for me since I'm back from a...

    Discussion VMAX ONE: Alternative SwSh-on Format

    So in this alt format VMAX would essentially be ACE-SPEC cards? You know, I honestly thought this was the route PokeComp would have taken with bringing Dyna/Gigantomax to the TCG since that mechanic had a "once per match" restriction itself, doubly so since that was how they translated...

    Discussion The future of Zacian V

    I'm coming back from a long hiatus myself so I can't fully speak for the competitive environment, but I do wonder about your case involving Victini V(MAX): after all rotation is going to be hurting that little guy too, since just like with Zacian it too will lose it's reliable digging option...

    'Celebrations' is our 25th Anniversary Set, Includes Reprint of Base Set Charizard!

    So it's gonna be a 1:1 remake of Base Zard w/ the 25th logo or will it be a remastered version like it was in Evolutions?

    News Japan's SM3 Sets for the 20th Movie Feature Ho-Oh and Necrozma!

    August is the Shaymin killer. Also Lele's price might see a bump due to this guy, so I'd best snag it while it's still 30. Probably only behind Acerola as my favorite card I see from the new set.

    News First 'Sun & Moon' English Set News!

    this thing just gave Greedy Dice a buff....I think my avatar would best fit that thought. But yeah this is not a bad card at all, but restricted to certain deck types-Beedrll Aggro Decks will probably use these most likely since they aim to get that turn 1 field swarm with the Forest but can be...
