Ya guy, I had no though in Landorus, but it is nicee in this deck. With Excadril ex and plasma badge, u can use deoxys ex, for up damage. Is other alternative. But landorus have energy acceleration, and with him u don't need use plasma energy, this is nice because existing many decks that use enchanted hammer. Gallade need 1 fighting energie and 1 DCE, thus u only attach DCE in gallade when u for attack, for prevent u opponent discard u DCE before u attach.

So I have a couple points/questions to put out there.
First and foremost after looking @ the battle boost japanese list. I see that Lugia is the only plasma related card in the entire set... Weird right?
Secondly, after my personal experiences I think this is 100% intentional. I find that the more a set has of reprinted cards, the better the pull rates are.
Look at call of legends, pull rates were pretty darn good if you ask me or at least they were for me, maybe I am just lucky? Boundaries crossed had a fair amount of reprints as well (most unwanted by the general public), the pull rates were crazy in that set as well. I remember pulling 5 exes out of 1 booster box, 2 of them being full art. Now we are at the front doorstep of LTs, I think the pull rates will be out the roof on that.
Examining the psychology behind this:
Reprint sets are used in my opinion for 3 reasons. A; to bring back old cards and put a twist of things into formats and modify old strategies. B; to allow players to get easier playsets of cards of cards they hadn't had the chance to get from past sets. C; to piss off collectors into getting more cards they already have with a different set stamp at the bottom right corner, (this is why I don't collect). Lol!

I would guess yes on the Pre-release.
Though the set isn't coming until November 6.
So whomever runs your Pre-releases might be waiting until closer to that date.
Ask the store people if they know (sometimes the calendar isn't updated).
Or better yet ask whomever is in charge of the League/Pokemon stuff.
BTW don't suppose we get those weird Supporter cards like Pokemon Enterprise?

Most likely no. The set limits don't really allow it. The only trainers we'll be getting are most likely Cedric Juniper, Elesa, Crushing Hammer, and Energy Switch

Meloetta-EX and Ninetales were revealed today. We only have like 2 weeks to go before prereleases.
After today's pre-releases we can conclude certain things about Legendary Treasures. Each booster pack contains 4 commons, 2 uncommons, 1 rare, 1 reverse holo and TWO Radiant Collection cards. I'm very pleased about this. First time since the old ex series that it's possible to get 3 rares in one pack and Radiant Collection has been implemented in an acceptable way. Also we have the Gold Reshiram and Zekrom as secret rares. But I've heard varying pull rates. Some say high, like one in 2 boxes and others say one in every 2 cases. Also the pull rates for EXs are high too. Most people at pre-releases got something nice from their packs. No pokemon enterprise SRs which I'm fine with. I'm pretty excited for my boosters. 2-3 boxes should be enough.
EDIT: It seems that the RH can be replaced with a RC card. Now I'm not happy. I like collecting my RHs. So it seems my info on pack contents may be incorrect.

The problem with the high rates of good stuff at pre-releases were the fact that it left many evolution lines unplayable. I got screwed out of four complete lines to play:
Got Tepig and Emboar, but no Pignite
Got Tympole and Seismitoad, but no Palpitoad
Got Kirlia and Gardevoir, but no Ralts
Got Solosis and Reuniclus, but no Duosion
Notice how three out of four of those were missing the middle stage, and the missing uncommon probably contributed to that. Particularly the last three hurt me because I ended up playing a Psychic/Water deck.

Generally speaking, this is a common problem within the mechanics of Pokémon (versus a decent amount of other card games). I think the only set to avoid this was the Legendary Collection; if memory serves WotC intentionally designed it to be friendly towards limited events so that a pack would contain things like Basic-Stage1-Stage2.
With the high pull rates for EX cards it means getting normal/holo rares is much harder. Also with just 2 LT uncommons collecting those will be hard. I can see now that I'll have to buy singles of the normal cards. At least it's not the Ultra Rares which now seem to be more common than non-holo rares. Also it seems my previous info about 1 reverse holo and 2 RC cards per pack are wrong. It seems one of the 2 RC cards can take the RH slot so collecting RH will also be a nightmare. Honestly I could kinda see this coming. They could have just replaced 1 common per pack with a RC card but pulls seem to be all over the place with too many UR. Expect to see these cards as the cheapest UR so far.
