February's English Set: 'Team Up!'

[Water Pokémon Master]

Thanks for calling the Lycanroc thing to my attention! The set description only says Lycanroc-GX. I meant to put "(shiny?)" before it and edited it within seconds after posting but did not realize my edit didn't go through. We've been having server issues and timeouts the past two days from upgrading to HTTPS. The story has now been updated.

I wish they would've been more creative with the tag team mechanic. It could have been some sort of cool fusion-like mechanic to really give you the feeling of a creating a "tag team". For example, instead of being a basic Pokemon, the Pikachu and Zekrom tag team could have said "You may play this card from your hand onto your Bench only if you put a Pikachu and a Zekrom card from your hand into the Lost Zone" or something like that. I'm assuming that all tag teams will just be big basics (boring!) but I guess we'll find out once the Gengar/Mimikyu tag team is revealed.

And yes, the name of the set is awful.

 

[Zzrrdd]

Really bad name. 6 tag teams though?!?! And 25 trainers!? Now I'm interested.

 

[Gameguard]

Well only lycanroc gx we missing is the nin thirstt eyes one in full art and the shiny one. Unless japan getting a 3rd one with new attacks. I hope not lets not keep using same pokemon over and over

 

[Belljacob48]

7/10 name. I like it, but could have been better.

 

[Serperior]

I know that set name is bad, but man it coulda been worse:

"Sun & Moon - There's No 'I' in 'Team'!"
"Sun & Moon - Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!"

...ok "Team Up" is still awful.

 

[SmiteKnight]

This has got to be by FAR the worst set name ever. Ohhhhh boy.

 

[VuDu-JuJu]

Jesus Christ it's real.

Out of curiosity, why did you think it was fake? They've been reporting about it since its reveal this past summer.

 

[VuDu-JuJu]

I know that set name is bad, but man it coulda been worse:

"Sun & Moon - There's No 'I' in 'Team'!"
"Sun & Moon - Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!"

...ok "Team Up" is still awful.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work 2019

 

[DaLoc]

Dusk form Lycanroc GX ftw

 

[PokeMedic]

I wonder if this is capable of catching on. There have always been gimmicks in the past that didn't go too far. Still I wish that Pokémon LEGEND cards could've been more practical.

 

[signofzeta]

They were going to call it Battlebond, but someone else took it.

 

[The Last Shaymin]

They were going to call it Battlebond, but someone else took it.

Source?

 

[signofzeta]

Source?

Ha ha ha, you got me. Your joke beat mine.

I got burned.

You win.

Spoiler

Any MTG players out there who gets it?

 

[fleshrum]

is the plan to release evolutions of these tag teams? you could do eeveelution tag teams that evolve from eevee gx I guess.

 

[Heviin]

I want Mega GX Tag Team, 4 prizes. Make it happen!!

 

[Yog]

Aww, from the thumbnail i thought we were about to finally get a good Mawile card.

 

[Swampert Full Art]

I'm assuming since the Midday/Midnight Lycanrocs have already gotten GXs, this one will be the Dusk version?

 

[ShaunTheBoufflant]

ZPtag team might be good in a single prize attacker lightning magnezone dropping it when your opponent are down to one or two prizes with energy retrieval and lady

 

[Raven Zombie]

if the tag cards are in future american sets, im calling it, next set is called Team Work
