Seen the Gallade spoiler? No?

Gallade L55 - 130 HP [F]
Stage 2 - Kirlia
[C][F] Sonic Blade () Put damage counters on the Defending Pokémon until it is 50HP away from being Knocked Out. Then, switch the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.
[C][C][P] Psycho Cutter (60+) You may choose any number of your Prize cards, and put them face up. This attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage times the number of the Prize cards you put them face up just now.
Weakness: Psychic +30
Retreat Cost: 2

I for one am pretty hyped up about this card. I can see this work SO good in conjunction with any snipers (Rayquaza Ex and Shiftry Ex come to mind, also Flygon Ex) for that first attack. The second one is just begging to be used as a grande finale, doing up to 180 (!!!!) damage. Topple that off with a delicious 130 HP and the ability to use Gardevoir (PK), Gardevoir Ex (DF) and probably something like a DP3 Gardevoir in its own evolution line and we got an instant winner. What do you think?
 
That is incrediable... ultimate T2 attacker... but you'll need very lucky hand... Gardy PK, 2 Ralts, this card, 2 Rare Candies, DRE. Exactly the amount of cards to hit a very large amount. Shame, you can't re-flip them again.
 
Eh, it doesn't matter THAT much. The fact that that first attack can soften up EVERYTHING to a manageable amount makes it delicious to me already. I consider that second attack more of an icing on the cake, and its also his main means of doing consistant damage. Best thing about it is that everything that isn't hit hard by the first move is likely to be killed by the second.

Makes me wonder how the Gardevoir will be...
 
Oh...my...gods.

We need a card to put your prize cards face down again, maybe a swapper? STAT!
 
Gallade will be a fantastic card. Sonic Blade is brillient on it's own, but Psycho Cutter finishes the card off. Turn Prizes back face down then every deck would need to counter this card. Actually, I think they have to find a counter to it almost straight away anyway.
Then there is the fact it can use Cessation Crystal (if you aren't going to use it with the "old" Gardevoirs)...
 
Skarmory EX and Absol EX ftw

It's second attack is alright... could be better. You're doing only 60 end game (AKA Grand Finale, lol jk)and there's no way to restore the damage. 60 is pretty low for DP on. You're weaker the farther you are in the game, which is basically working against yourself. You get like a single OHKO which is nice.

And Delta Basics.... i likey ^^


Y'know what would be great? If Here Comes Team Rocket was reprinted lol XD
 
The new Island Hermit lol
But the actual Potential for this card lies in his first attack. Switch out the foe, you choose benched, and add the damage counters... You could combo this with Dusknoir's Dark Palm and shuffle your opponent's former active Pokemon into their deck, then retreat Gardellade for Palkia, and Transback the new active... Okay the Palkia thing was pretty stupid, but I do see this being played with Dusknoir in an attempt to annoy foes, and maybe to kill Torterra Lv.X... Also an Electivire/ Electivire Lv.X stopper... overall, an awesome card...
I just wish D/P would get a little less broken.
 
I wouldn't use the second attack to 1 hit KO a Pokemon, but after the second. It can KO nearly any Pokemon in 2 turns, pretty much like Tyranitar Ex delta. Great card anyway and very likely to become an archetype.
