Hmm not as nice as an ability as I'd like, but it could be a nice option as a 1 of tech in a dragon deck to use with Lance or Dragon Porter GX!

No no no. Use it on a worthy tech mons. Garb might still a thing.
  • Flygon - Good Ability, wrong Pokemon. 3 Geodudes
  • Raikou-GX - 100 to all Pokémon with Energy attached is fine... but for 4 L energy?? Ehh. 2-3 Geodudes
 
If the Ability had something like that attacks did 20 damage less as well, then I think Flygon really could have something good going on.

The ability is definitely decent as is, but probably not on a Stage 2. Even if you play one as a tech with Dragonporter-GX or Lance ◇, there are most likely better targets than Flygon.

...Obviously I would not pull it out if it was not required or if garb was possibly in their deck. But what do you consider a "worthy tech mon" that can be pulled out by Lance, but not be stopped by Garb?

Also, won't Garb be rotated out by the time you get this? Don't think you have to worry about that then.
 
Seems like an easy one of in a dragonite deck. It can easily be got out with either dragonporter gx or lance prism if neccesary, no need to run the basics with dragonite and lance

Nope it still be around for a month
 
Ok, when I saw Flygon I was instantly interested. I clicked on it desperately hoping for an ability. Well, I got one, just not a very good one. I guess with all the essentially reprints they're coming out with, they decided bringing back Sand Slammer would be a bad idea.
 
We got an altaria reprint...

NOT A SAND SLAMMER REPRINT?!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
 
I know it's not worth the effort, but a flygon in a dragonite deck would be very good tech. . This way you can keep spamming the single energy attachment attack without the need to switch or guzma.
 
I guess they thought that with Lance and Dragonite-GX's Dragonporter they could print okay but not great effects on stage 2 dragons. Might be relevant at some point if there are some nasty effect decks but it's probably a binder sitter for now.

BTW, it doesn't prevent all effects, just opponent effects so Dragonite-GX does not stop its own giga impact negative effect from happening. Would be good if it did though!
 
Shouldn't Sand Tomb read "The Defending Pokemon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn?" This is basically what Breakpoint Gabite's Sand Tomb reads. The effect goes away when the Pokemon goes to the bench like with Guzma or Switch and no longer applies to the new active Pokemon. Have a look at the Japanese version of said Gabite (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:GabiteRageBrokenHeavens50.jpg) and the English version (https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/pokemon-cards/xy-series/xy9/69/)
 
3 single energy attacks? Jeez. I suppose this is meant to be paired with Quag to power up Hydro Pump.
