'Blue Impact' / 'Red Flash' Japan's XY8 Sets, Next Set Block Titled 'XY: BREAK!'

Hmm... I actually see potential with this card. It kind of reminds me of Donphan, in that it can do switchouts, although with limits. It also can strike the bench, and the break card is a useful last resort. Maybe with Eeveelutions, it could see some play.
 
Did anyone else think it was an Alakazam BREAK first based on Marowak's head and gold color?

Cause I totally did...
 
Wait a second, how will this work with Maxie, since it has no printed weakness, resistance or retreat cost, but Maxie still technically doesn't forbid the use of Breaks?

Looks like more banned cards, or reprints with altered wording.

I think it is a reverse.

It has the weakness and resistance and Retreat Cost of the normal Marowak!

I mean when you use Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick to get Marowak Break into play, without the base form (because Maxie technically allows that). It says it uses the weakness, etc. of the one it's played onto. With Maxie, you don't play it onto anything, just the bench. I apologize, I should've made myself a little more clear

Was about to say, it's just you adding a Fighting type Pokémon from the Discard. It's going to be done the same way like Swampert, Blastoise, or P. Kyogre.
 
The point he was making is that Marowak BREAK uses information from the Marowak it evolved from. However, if you use Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick (will refer to as MHBT from now on), then it didn't evolve from anything. This would mean it has no weakness, no resistance, no retreat cost, and only one attack.

The rule printed on the BREAK cards only states it uses information from the base form. It never states that there MUST be a base form. This means that (as far as I'm aware), unless the rulebook gets changed when BREAK is released, nothing is stopping MHBT from working.

Only time will tell.
