So four Chesnaughts equals 120 damage? You do not want to touch that grass.

Chesnaught V - well not worth it, Path is a thing, and Path works well with Comfey/Sableye, they ain't rule box, mate. 3 Geodudes

We still have the Hisui boi left

 

[TheRainmaker]

Could be a fun meme deck with Kricketune and Cape of Toughness boosting it to 320 HP.

Edit: Or just play Dracozolt VMAX, which can spam Cheryl and doesn't care about Path.

 

[TrainerSkitz]

This is so disappointing, Chesnaught hasn't seen a card in 7 years and it's just so meddling :|
130 for 3 is abhorrently bad in 2022

 

[FireLizard]

Wait,isn't this XY Chesnaught but a V?

 

[PMJ]

Wait,isn't this XY Chesnaught but a V?

It is, but all your Chesnaught V combine their ability damage if one is active.

 

[ShinyNoivern]

This is the definition of a filler V.

 

[Yaginku]

I assume the ability mentioning "Chesnaught V" does not work on "Chesnaught VMAX", even thought the phrase "Pokemon V" refers to all VMAXes, V-UNIONs, VSTARS etc.? If this wording was consistent, it could make a future Chesnaught VMAX/VSTAR into a pretty strong Pokemon.

 

[Mimikeon]

Wow, the Vs in this set suck.

 

[ShinyNoivern]

So does the ability stack? Like, 30 damage per Chesnaught V?

There is no Chesnaught Vmax or VStar

 

[HershelLayton]

I cannot believe they massacred my boy this badly

 

[LightYearLiam]

Well, at least they remembered the existence of this Pokemon and it could be a fun meme deck. That's all it has going for it, though.

 

[ZestyGan]

Do they enjoy giving less popular Pokemon awful cards? Like, seriously. Is it fun for them?

 

[Bewear The TERRIBLE]

Another Grass Starter! ? They HAVE to give us a Chesnaught VSTAR at some point. And a Delphox too. ?

 

[PMJ]

Yep.

All of this is correct. Pokemon V is a general term; Chesnaught V refers to that specific card.

 

[Z_dude]

Hey look, my new meme deck!

 

[Cradilyfan1512]

Chesnaught V- This is going to be a good secondary attacker in Swords of Justice decks if those become a thing. 8

 

[TankyGliscor]

I'm just happy to have more of my homie Chesnaught, it'd be a good deck to teach new players the importance of abilities and stadiums importance, so could be fun to teach Children to play against. Otherwise as usual they just stuck an okay ability and overpriced mediocre attack on it and said "hey we remembered it at least, better than Unite and mainline right?" to which I sigh and agree.
