Skyla FTW

Awesome card - adds tons of consistency to any deck. Almost makes Stage 2's playable (almost).

9/10
 
This card makes playing a 1-of trainer or stadium viable. WAY better in actual play than it appears on paper. Skyla will be a staple in this format, IMHO.

10/10

It makes playing 1 of anything better. Skyla can lead directly into Computer Search into any card.

Skyla revolutionizes the format. Before Skyla, all we had was draw until you rip into what you need (usually involving getting rid of your hand), and basically only through the use of Supporters. Now, we have more access to our decks than before, and with no drawback. I won't go too deep into its applications, but it made Sableye even more powerful by getting the trainers you need out of your deck in order to continually reuse them with Junk Hunt.

9/10
 
Pretty much what everyone elde here has said. I can't see a reason why any deck wouldn't have 3/4 in it. Though it's pretty useless in unlimited obviously.

Modified: 10/10
Sealed/Draft: 7/10
Unlimited: 3/10
 
It is a very nice card.
Artwork is nice, and I'm glad that she was released alongside the Cheren and Bianca FAs.
Skyla is apparently very playable, so I'm glad I've got a bunch incoming :)
 
This card is good, but I would only recommend this card in stage 2 decks like blastoise or slow decks like garbodor because the card is kind of slow sometimes. If your trying to be fast with darkrai/ terrakion decks or any decks like that, I would still recommend random transceiver for consistency. Nevertheless, I give this card 8/10. Staple in some decks but not all.
 
I love Skyla (in a fan sorta way). It's a great card. The only thing a find fault with is the full art; It makes her look like an 8 yr old, when she's more like 19 or 20. I'm an artsy guy so of course this bugs me. They coulda done better in the art aspect. I'll stop here before I rant any further.
 
Crop top and hot pants . . . standard issue for pilots on Fanservice Airways, apparently.

Good card that helps every kind of deck, Basic and evolution.

8.5/10
 
Do you use Trainers? Then, use Skyla.

Makes the necessities (Switch, Level/Ultra/Heavy Ball, Catcher) even easier to get, and since she allows you to search for them, as opposed to drawing into them, which is your only option if you don't run Skyla, you can run a few less of each and make room for other cards. This versatility is great, especially since it allows you to run 1-of tech items that you won't need in enough match-ups to have invested valuable deck space on before, but could now be game changing. Lets you find that Computer Search whenever it's needed, goes wonderfully with Sableye (ofc,) and if needed for nothing else can allow you to search for next turn's supporter. Will become even more integral when Ace Specs like the upcoming Victini's are actually GOOD, along with Plus Power creating a serious Donk deck.

9/10 Modified; I wish you could search for more is all, lol...
