News Japan's SM3 Sets for the 20th Movie Feature Ho-Oh and Necrozma!

[TheFlyingPidove]

Why does everyone need another A-Raichu card? An amazing A-Raichu card already got featured in a Trainer Kit with Lycanroc. I've heard it will see a lot of play in the uh.. the trash can. So be prepared.

Anyways, this Raichu is not bad.

 

[SupremeLeaderQuagsire]

What.
I think that this has a good spot in some decks, say, like Tapu Koko-GX. Instant paralysis is insane, can shut you're opponent down if they can't switch. Imagine this with Garbodor: You force your opponent to burn Switches/VS Seekers, making you deal more damage.

 

[CaptZero]

Why regular Raichu instead of Alolan Raichu? Meh

I'll bet you anything they have a Promo Alolan Raichu GX planned.

 

[fleshrum]

So every evolution has a cip effect? Because I can get behind this kind of interactivity.

 

[Ninjabot 215]

Raichu's art is cool.

 

[TheRealBro..]

Such negativity.. At least enjoy the artwork. Really liking this ''action'' Raichu card with the Croagunk in the back! Can't wait for this set.

Tbh Mega Ray comes to an end [in Standard] just a little while after Necrozma is released anyway, so as a Ray player I'm not too bothered/worried! I already play 2 Hex so I think I'd deal with it alright. Actually, I think the Sudowoodo from Guardians Rising is more annoying to deal with than this!

Kind of cool, but ultimately, at least at first glance, pretty much useless.

 

[teh awesome mudkipz]

This is great for item blocking decks (disrupts opponents hand, especially because items can't be played).

 

[MultX]

Too unreiable to be usable

 

[ReadingHui]

Could be interesting when pairing up with first turn Ghetsis in expanded

 

[PokieMorff]

Not bad after a redcard/delinq. Only 1 card in hand and a lot of people would save that draw supporter.

Other than that.... meh

 

[GM DracLord]

To me, this card is a waste of space in deck as it don't really effect much even if VS seeker got rotate out, the possibility for you to pick a supporter card from opponent hand is too low

 

[TotoBoss]

This can be NASTY if played with red card + delinquent. So Sylveon-GX will probably run this as a 1 off to just ruin their opponent's day. Other than that i don't think this is going to see that much play.

 

[DKQuagmire]

This card will be awesome if used with Gumshoos. Gumshoos can tell you if the opponent even has a supporter card in the hand, and if not your gaining knowledge anyway from seeing their hand.

red card + Gumshoos + delinquent could be a powerful combination if this combo even works.

 

[RealSlim]

It's cool only because it's a Team Skull item. Useless tho

 

[Scoop]

Why did I expect this to be a hypnotoxic laser clone?

 

[Rocket The Shellos]

This card was obviously intended for a format without VS Seeker, so it might end up being alright in Standard.

I was kind of excited because it means that you can kinda do something about Lysandre and Hex Maniac, but then I remembered they're rotating out anyway.

Maybe with Tsareena?
