That is exactly what we need!!!
By the way, now with that Garbador's ability, you can't use Junk Arm or Juniper, and it shuts down Eel/Phlosion acceleration. Seems pretty nifty.
dont forget though garbodor also shuts off gothitelle, so the only way to trainer/ability lock is with zebstrika. i think it could be useful in 6 corners because it would shut off all your opponents energy acceleration. Or maybe splashing into durant?
also: garbodor completely erases all usefulness of Mew Ex and Shedinja

Use both, if you want. I think a Durant deck has plenty of space for adding only 2 Switch.
Since vileplume is out I thought GARDEVOIR!!! But the I realized garbodor's ability counters gardevoir's ability so ya...

Garbordor will be a great card now that its a reprint of Fossil Muk. But you wont be able to use any of your abilities either, which sorta sucks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't typhlosion be rotated out too?

Again won't junk arm be rotated out?

Epic combo of the year: Garbodor + Slaking. Though Slaking is still kinda meh.

I don't think we'll ever see sp metal/darkness energies again, to be honest. After all, now that we have basic metal and darkness energies, there's really no reason why PCL would single out certain types to recieve a huge advantage like that. I think PCL considers them an unnecessary mechanic from a bygone era. The subject of sp metal/darkness energies just hasn't gotten much attention because of all the other changes which are going on in the game.

based on the way the game has been going, I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded the mechanic so those types don't have the advantage. They could apply the damage change effects to other energies or, maybe, follow the course of rescue energy to rescue ribbon, where it becomes a tool card instead.

This would be nice, but it would be unfair to pokemon EX
It's worth pointing out that due to the Level X mechanic, Take Out never had an opportunity to target pokemon ex in it's format. One attack to take 2 prizes guaranteed would push EXs out of the format. the only way they could justify that exchange is to give it to a pokemon EX itself, but then it be a basic pokemon, which means you end up with a more powerful "mewtwo struggle".
So if the do reprint the attack, they have 2 choices.
1. Make a new set of EX cards as stage 1s, even though this would break the legendaries only rule
2. they give the attack a very high cost or recoil effect, but this risks the attack being ineffective and unplayble.
they're screwed either way really
The whole point of bringing back Take Out is to take the focus off of big gigantic Basics. Maybe a bit of a condition for Take Out would be nice to make it fair - it was on a Stage 2 before, so why not put it on a Stage 2 now? (Putting it on a Basic would be incredibly silly.) I'd just like to see it back in some form or another. It gives a chance for more things to thrive, I feel.
Edit: I looked at Slaking's attack; the translation is listed as:
Edit2: Some of the Goods cards say "Trainer" or even "Item" instead of "Goods" on the translation, even saying "You can play as many Trainer cards as you like during your turn". A minor thing, but still a bit odd to see...

But I see absolutely nothing about flipping a coin on the card itself.

It would be great to see it back, but it just seems really hard to balance.
the game has accelerated a lot since Take Out's day, and getting a stage 2 in the BW+ format will be hard as the EX's can hit harder and faster. Good luck setting up once twins gets rotated.
