To be fair, we've had Metapod for a long time now.

Unless I'm mistaken 40 for a DCE damage isn't very good in this format.

I assume you are referring to Goth doing 110 (30+40+40) for 2 energy. She cant attack without 3 energy though... so I would still argue that with less than 3 energy, Mewtwo is the optimal choice. In an ideal world, you could fuse the two together to have...

I think what Stormfront was saying is that when you attach two energy to Gothitelle it becomes four energy which lets gothitelle do her attack to do a grand total of 110 damage. Gardevoir's ability is pretty much Wild Growth for Psychic Types.

Thats true. I was thinking more of actual energy attached vs the sceptile body.

I am pretty sure lostgar will be the best.

Awesome Luxray!! I can already imagine the deck I'll play....
Meinshao might be useful for pulling Evolite in decks that rely on getting them.
Although I'm also kind of curious what Gardnivior will do to Gothitelle decks. It's main weakness before was the fact that active Goth had a hard time attacking. Now that it does 110 for 2 Psychic, that's been taken away. Toss a Jirachi or two and a Shaymin in and you can easily do 190 damage on turn 2, while keeping trainer lock on.
Another thing I REALLY like about this set is that it feels like the creators just went "You know what? That's throw in EVERYONE!". We got Mewtwo, legendary birds, Regigas, Shaymin, Kyurem, Shiny Pokemon, and a ton of other random popular Pokemon. I can't help but love the concept of Mewtwo, Shaymin, and Kyogre deciding to have a no-holds deathmatch against Kyurem, Regigas, and Groudon.

Which seems a little excessive :wink:
I think with 3 energy doing a consistent 150 is more desirable. That way you can build up backup Goth and not toss all your eggs in one basket..

Musharna is the new Uxie Lv.X! Although, it can't attack like good ol' Uxie Lv.X could. Aw well it's better then HGSS Noctowl I guess.

A lot of people seem to be worrying about power creep but I suppose it lets the creators try to make almost everything powerful in it's own right (or at least interesting). Full-Art EX's look great, I can't wait to try to grab 4 of each of those.
Really disapointed about Moltres and Articuno getting sub-par attacks it was still kinda cool that they got cards. I could see uses for Moltres as a Donphan tech for fire decks, he could work as a 1 of tech, a reliable burn could come in handy, especially on a basic with all the basic support this format.
A new Uxie Lv.X is really neat but check that retreat cost and horrible attack. You better be packing switch if you play that bad boy. A lot of these cards look like they could play a role in future winning decks which is exactly what you want to see when a new set comes out.
