Vikavolt GX is so good on paper. Its wording suggests you could discard/attach a Double Colorless each alternating turn between Charge Beam and Super Zap Cannon. It's too bad Gigatron GX doesn't damage the Active Pokemon too, though.

Is the new set out in the UK yet or no?
Couldn't find it today in WHSmith or GAME.

Bought my first two packs of Guardians Rising today. Secret Rare Leaf Energy and Full Art Wishiwahi GX. I'm in shock.
Nope.

Took my son to the TRU thing and the card has a werid blurry icon for the first move. It looks that way in the promo pic too. What is it supposed to be?
Energy free attack

You can attack and use an ability on the same turn. With that card you either have to use the free attack or one that costs energy.

Bought a booster box of the new set. Came away with these out of 36pks. Been trying to get back into the game lately but mostly play on the computer. Do most people play standard or expanded. I'm wanting to build a deck later this week.

Standard is more popular, but if you live in an area with an expanded regionals then expanded might see more play.

Okay cool. What sets should I be on the lookout for? I've bought a couple packs of sun and moon and the new set.
I did notice that the packs aren't ordered for Holos/GXs like the sun and moon set cause I tried to do the whole burn two packs thing
What did you get??

Both. I stopped along time ago but all my buddies are getting back into it so we started buying again. To put it into perspective the last time I went to regionals in Orlando it was with a Dialga lvlX/Darkrai lvlX/Claydol deck
I'd buy singles then. I'd focus on staple trainers for now and then decide what deck to build after the Seattle regionals in 2 weeks as that'll be the first big event with the new set. There's going to be a big meta shift with the new sets and currently popular decks like Darkrai and mega mewtwo could be dead.

Anyone purchase the new Mega Powers Collection?
I am conflicting between buying that or the two tins.... >.<

I tend to not purchase those special boxes or tins(I did cave for Pikachu EX and made it work for awhile though).
Instead I get singles for my deck and 1 booster box of each set just because I find it fun to pull cards...despite the fact I never pull the "amazing" cards from each set.

ugh i dont even remember exactly since im at work but i think i got like, a full art hala, wishiwashi gx, vikavolt gx, tapu koko gx, toxapex gx, kommo-o gx, and a bunch of who cares
i just am not interested in any of these cards tbh, i wanted full art characters that i like, a nice alolan ninetales gx, stuff i find nice to look at. since i dont really play in paper much.

same
I pulled three gumshooes from SM base set >.<
ugh
the mega powers box is 50$, so its bit pricey
i guess i feel bad for complaining, even though i forgot to note i also bought an elite trainer box i still only did ten more packs but got way more gx's
i just woulda been happier getting that sylveon is all! but i guess i shouldnt complain

Well you win some, and lose some.
Also I translated Aichi's tournament because I was curious about what decks were big in Japan right now. I went back and specified set for Garbodor, Eevee, and in the case of Oricorio...which one.
Haven't done it for the rest so if people have questions I can help out.

those Sylveon GX lists are so
ughhhh
faced some online and the matches were frustrating
Im very interested in Lycanroc GX decks, dont like using so many special energies tho >.<
I know the Houndoom deck is expanded, but it looks fun so I'll probably make it as a time killer deck to play with against some friends.
Otherwise, I want there to be a decent Toxapex centered deck, but I'm still looking into how I'll make it work. I'm fine if it's not top tier as the normal deck I use is far from that.
It's either going to be that or Ho-Oh. I want lightning to be good, but I don't think it's there yet. Well not to the level that I'd switch from the deck I'm currently playing.

Houndoom mill >.<
runs the anti-nightmarch/vespiqueen Oricorio too
Isnt lighting good right now with tapu koko? has a good ability, lets you move energy around, hopefully we get more electric support
Fate_Shirou
Member
the promo tapu koko is decent too
2 colorless energy for 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon, spreads damage around. Things should look better for tapu koko decks when super scoop up returns, and you can pick up kokos xD
Im trying out a lycanroc ex deck on ptcgo, but dont like the weakness to grass, too many decidueye/lurantis decks on the ladder >.<
Ah that's rough since otherwise that's a good deck.
I'm mainly running out the clock for rotation. I sold the Shaymins I pulled before the reprints happened and the VS seekers as well. It just means I win by slowing down the opponent to my level with 4 delinquents and the such which throws people off guard with those higher tier decks enough to make me win half the time.
I haven't done online and it feels like it'd take forever to make the deck I have on there. Also sad to find out that Japanese packs don't have codes because they don't have an equivalent. I was meaning to collect them and still will, but JP cards aren't legal here so I could never use them.

I still havnt sold my shaymins, i regret not selling them before the roaring skies reprint was announced and the price went down a lot. If I do sell it, its probably going to be on reddit >.<
Pokemon did announce those alternative art thing, so maybe it will rotate in the west anyways
yea, they never released the tcg online game in japan, the format is too different, and product release is different as well. I read that nintendo is making another online tcg, so yeah >.<

I got Wishiwashi, Sylveon and Tapu Koko. No full arts.

from a booster box?
that seems rather low
Also really thinking of buying the mega powers box, the jolteon sells for 10$ on its own, on ebay anyways, so i think it will be a good piece to open
I'm kinda glad that it's rotating out just because I prefer slower formats, that and VS seeker leaving will be huge. It still won't be too slow because of stuff like ultra ball, and I'm excited at the prospect of another online tcg...just hope it gets handled well.

Oh, that's too bad. At least the next boss will likely be better.

We got tapu lele in the format now, its like jirachi ex
idk what pokemon is doing, seems like they want us to evolve but forest gives grass evolutions an advantage over other stage 2/stage 3s
Lets see how good charizard gx will be, the new darkrai is pretty great, and im happy since darkrai is one of my fav pokemon xD

Yup ._.
I usually only buy one booster box per collection (I collect, I don't play), so fuck them, haha.
I left Pokemon for a long time and came back at Breakpoint? Whichever one included that Raichu theme deck. So I think I missed that Jirachi ex.
As for Forest...yes, it's a pain right now to deal with for other types, but it should be rotating out as far as I'm aware.
Oh that typo hurts...but yeah, we do the same thing.
