Ruling Breloom Secret Wonders attack question

[shadoworganoid]

The exact word for word text of Breloom's Homing Uppercut is:

"If the defending pokemon's retreat cost is 0, this attack does 60 damage plus 60 more damage."

So if the opponents pokemon is a Blaziken FB which has a retreat cost of 1, but also has Champions Room in play, does this attack do 60 more?

And for future questions, is this attack treated as a "current state of the game" or as "exactly what the card says"?


Cause that stadium gives blaziken 0 retreat, but without it, its 1.

Yes, the retreat cost being reduced will count as zero for Breloom SW's Homing Uppercut. The extra damage will be applied.

So basically in a flygon deck you can hit anything for 120 as long as flygon gives them free retreat.

I'm pretty sure you can, yes. I'll see if I can find it in the compendium.

Edit: I just checked on the Gym, and it is indeed legal. You will do 120 damage to almost everything in Flygon.

Awesome! Thanks.

Yeah I know. Its so cool. It can 1HKO anything in the Flygon decks with expert belt. 140 damage for 3 energy and no discard. NICE.

But its just as slow as flygon,but DCE would help it alot against other decks....Could even consider playing moonlight/the other breloom,for getting 140 every turn.

Moonlight? Wait what?

But yeah, im working on a decklist for breloom. Its a rough deck no doubt, but using 2 of the SV breloom to eliminate retreat cost, (and possibly donk) then 2 of the SW breloom to hit for 120-140.

It SHOULD kill Gengar decks and flygon decks without too much trouble.

Moonlight for giving their psychic/dark's free retreat to hit for 120,or even champions room,its a stage 1 so you dont need to play 4 BTS.

 

[shadoworganoid]

Oh I see!
Thanks.

But Im not going to say anything else here as this is a Quetison thread. I'll start a thread in the Combo area in a few.

Be sure to take note: This is only if they have the right Energies on the Flygon.

dmaster out.

 

[esperante]

be sure to also note that breloom is frail and slow and an absolutely trashy attacker against anything that isn't psychic/dark/flygon/an sp with 1 or less retreat (and is getting fainting spelled all day by gengar)

I built this deck right after SV came out. I was very, very disappointed.
