Oh wait, Pokérun Friend sounds like a legit way to recover mons from the Lost Zone, if that mechanic somehow remains in the format. Idk how relevant that really is, but it's interesting. Edit: Oh, but it's a jumbo promo. So we don't have it in playable form. Maybe if we see this kind of...

Lol, don't forget Psychic Net Ball. Glad someone pointed these out though. That said, Melony is kind of a nerfed Welder while Cresselia is kind of a buffed Volcanion.

It's also a toned down version of All Out Granbull, doing 110 for 1 energy on a basic instead of 160 for 1 energy on a stage 1.

Lol, nah, I'm pretty sure we all thought this was an intentional buff for the worst of the three single prize Cinderaces to match the RC of the other two. This was the theme deck one, so I'm sure ppl did see it (and then decided they still didn't care). I guess we just didn't think to look...

Lol, na, even w/ Cape and Bath, a base 60 HP mon will still get ohko'd by just about every relevant attack in standard. They may only make a difference against Blaziken and some single prize [F] decks b/c of the [F] resistance. I really was just thinking about the Unaware ability as the "bit"...

Are they really going to change the official name of the discard pile to "trash"? Also Active w/ "Battle Field"? What's up w/ that?

Ooh, so Woobat will be the new Granbull/Infernity-type deck. And then you can protect it a bit by evolving it, and just use Memory Capsule. Unfort, the Whismur doesn't have Round, and no other basics outside of that line means we'll have to wait for another future set for more Round support...

It's 160 only if its owner's stadium is in play. Same deal as UNB Dugtrio, though this seems to be a sort of bigger version of that. Owner's stadium effects are strictly worse than any stadium effects like REC Garbodor. But these are still strictly better than those 'your stadium on your...

...Mad respects.

I can think of a Galvantula (the Live Wire one from Unified Minds) that does hit the bench for weakness, but it has too low of a damage output to make any difference (and you couldn't Electropower the bench). There was also Wide Lens that let the user apply both weakness and resistance to...

I mean, Whimsi can just be its own deck, just like Kommo-o, but for Garb to hit comparable numbers, I'd like to see maybe a Supporter that functions like kinda the opposite of Clay (a good way to discard a bunch of tools, while Clay was a good way to draw a bunch of items), but idk, maybe that...

Looks like the first basic Shedinja card, and it's not even a 2-prizer, lol. Is that ability ptcg's take on Special Summon only monsters from Yugioh? It'd be kinda cool to have more of those Special Summoning requirements for big boss mons. How about a big Guzzlord that acts like a Tragoedia...

The plus is that your opponent can't use it like they can Tropical Beach, but the minus is a 130 HP mon on the bench that the opponent can gust up and ko. That said, the decks that would get the most use out of it are the same kind of decks that ran 4x Tropical Beach: tanky, healy stall decks...

I wonder why they didn't call it sth akin to Small Parasol [W] Energy instead. It's basically a smaller version of Big Parasol that only protects the attached mon, but that mon doesn't have to be active. At least that means pure [W] decks won't need to play Big Parasol, I guess. The Samurott...

... At least it doesn't have a chance of doing absolutely nothing (0 damage and nothing else) like the Rebel Clash Perrserker. Significantly more useful than that Rebel Clash Perrserker, but probably not more than a one-of disruption tech along w/ three Steely Spirit Perrserkers in any generic...

Having the theme decks be a gym leader vs. a (former) champion feels kind of unbalanced, but w/e. I kinda wish it was Bea vs. Nessa instead, but we did just get the Sirfetch'd deck. They're prob not gonna give us more than 2 Leon/Nessa in the respective decks, but I hope Nessa contains...

Also interestingly, Jolteon will turn Vaporeon off while Vaporeon will turn Flareon off, lol. So [R] ability decks could play Jolteon if they feel threatened by Vaporeon, and [G] could play Vaporeon the same way, but [W] are kinda hurt the most (lol) by the introduction of these three. There's...

Oh, that's a good point. I'm also thinking maybe it had to do w/ Lum and Sitrus coming back as well, and those two discard themselves after they're "consumed". And maybe they wanted a tiny bit of consistency w/ the berries or sth, idk, lol. The first two iterations of Memory Berry discarded...

Uh, it rotated like over a decade ago. I guess renaming a card is more profitable or sth? So you can't actually use age-old copies of that card from the gen 4 era, but have to buy the one w/ the new name instead.

At least the Phanpy means we'll get a new Donphan just a while after the other two rotate, and we can just hope it'll be good, lol. Memory Capsule is also nice to replace the rotating Memory Energy, and now a Memory-type card can be used more efficiently by mons w/o a [C] in any of their attack...
