Kinda sad they didn't call Cleffa's attack Eeeeeeeeeek, even though it functions slightly differently to the Neo Genesis card. That's just a great name for any attack really
“Obsidian Flames” Prerelease Promos Revealed!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Nice to finally see some obsidian flame stuff. Idk what’s going on with Japan tbh tho, and it’s weird that we already have the prerelease promos of all things, but I’m glad
Nah, we got the Castform quartet in Chilling Reign and they've not been in a game since sun and moon.But... Togekiss is not even in scarlet and violet
I thought they only release cards for pokémon that are available in the current games.
Loving that Cleffa card. Hope the other 15 Babies get released as well.
We barely know anything in the set. I don't know how you can say that it's skippable at this stage.
So, the new Mew builds from Clay Burst/Snow Hazard in Japan are almost exclusively Fusion Strike Energy-based because it protects Genesect from the effect of an opponent's Spiritomb, allowing you to continue to draw cards. Similarly, Fusion Strike Energy itself would protect a Mew from the effect of a Mawile trying to discard it. Furthermore, Mew will not care very much if you discard 1 DTE as they're playing 3 copies alongside the Fusion Strike Energies and so just won't run out of attackers. Mawile does nothing into Mew.
No, after the third set they stop that usually.But... Togekiss is not even in scarlet and violet

Also Pokemon Home is back in action so a lot of the game to set "restriction" is gone.
My guess is that there's some powerful new special energy in the set and that's what Mawile is for.
Clefa is a worst snorlax waiting to be a victim of Sableye
If you are just gonna go the reversal energy route you are better off using the Cetitan who is bigger, hits harder, and doesn't have a wonky requirement to get the attack off.
here i was waiting for a week until the PAL prerelease for those promos to be revealed only for the OBS promos to be revealed even before PAL is released
Forget using it in Zorobox. Just make it its own deck like Chien-Pao ex. Use Baxcaliber's Super Cold to accelerate energy to it and retreat using Skater's Park so they go back into the hand. Wash, rinse, repeat.
May be in the DLC. But there is an impossible VMax card based on the games.But... Togekiss is not even in scarlet and violet

I'm excited to see this even if it feels weirdly early.
The Palafin art looks awesome, which is especially impressive considering I normally find Hero Form Palafin to be a bit ugly. I like how the card is designed too, probably not viable but at least seems like it has a reasonable power level.
I'm SO HAPPY Baby Pokemon are back! Please, please let there be a Pichu!! However, this Cleffa seems a little underpowered, tbh. The original Cleffa and HGSS Cleffa had a means of potentially avoiding attacks; this does not, which means it seems like a really easy free prize. (Which isn't to say the original Baby rule was a good design - I think it's a bit OP and they certainly shouldn't just bring it back or anything.) Plus, it just "draws until" instead of "shuffle draws". I doubt it will be played much, sadly. Unless there's something weird like a stadium or tool that works only on 30 HP Pokemon and makes it so they can avoid attacks sometimes? idk.
I'm a little disappointed we're getting non-evolving Babies yet again. I was hoping that since the fossils had "evolve into" text, Babies could too.
I like Togekiss' and Mawile's abilities. I doubt Togekiss will be viable due to being a Stage 2. Mawile seems like it would see play, but not be amazing.

I'm surprised they didn't do the same thing they did with the new fossils where it evolves into a specific Pokemon.
Cleffa might be the best one in a Prereleases format, just be careful not to mill yourself, but Palafin has some really good damaging ability. Paired with something that can clean up the mesa 210 might somehow magically miss, and a handful of jet energy/pivoting options and you got a recipe of doing a lot of damage. Also Palafin is just a goofy guy all around.
About 4 years since they were last in the game.
