Heavy Ball from Hail Blizzard.

"Heavy Ball - Trainer

Search your deck for a Pokemon that has a Retreat of 3 or more, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

You can use any number of Trainer cards during your turn."





how will this effect the format?

i think it will promote use of donphan and beartic.

It will be a while before we have it. It has potential.

You know what goes through my mind when I see this card?

Typhlosions retreat is 2 while Emboars is 4

only the bottom half id guess also what legend has 3 or more rc besides dpl?

 

[cabd]

Magneboar, Tyranitar Variants, and Blastgatr just got their own personal staple trainer.

Also, @LAW, RDL has 3 retreat as well

This is like luxury ball, but without the "one only" restriction and tailored for certain decks only.

Yes, but Luxury Ball was sooo much better than this card. With Luxury Ball you could get ANY Pokemon that wasn't a Lv.X out, but with this card you can ONLY get a heavy retreat cost Pokemon out (mostly Stage 2s).

 

[rotomboyz]

with heavy ball they are probably going to make a Fast Ball...just saying.

I don't think so. If they do that, then "heavy" retreaters will lose that advantage.

idk it's just my opinion. we will see in a few days.

ok will heavy ball increase the popularity of heavy retreat decks?
(ex. Magneboar, beartic variants.)

 

[PokemonPizzaParty]

but theres still catcher, so, the card will increase the use, and decrease the use a little

I do not see catcher being such a deciding factor on how much(or not) this played or anything. If anything, maybe a larger count of switch would be played along side it.

Yes

 

[PokemonPizzaParty]

well maybe then trainer lock decks (goth more) will then stop it, with goth, they can use catcher

 

[Hippowdon SaveSand]

Good card on paper, but we have no idea what the meta will look like in half a year's time (if the ETA is to be believed).

This is pointless theoymon. Don't you think they would account for that?
