gotta have 8 damn cleffas......(gasp).....Well I already have big ol' gator deck in my mind now but if there'll be a new haymakers out there , i might change my mind cuz i never liked playing big decks. Too bad to see Magma and Aqua go after worlds....it was one of the best haymakers in the EX set. O well , maybe some kinda Team Light and Team Night might appear in Diapearl -_-
I don't really like this set; I like blissey and steelix and cleffa.
Theres tons of fighting weakness, and tyrogue can FTKO cleffas and dunsparces again
The Houndoom is SICK too, basically every pokemon power that doesn't require you to be active can be abused. (magnetons, delcattys, magcargos, pidgeots,etc)

Basically Nintendo is just giving its nearly final light cuz you all know that this is pretty much the second to the last EX set. Houndoom? It's no big deal since you can easily KO it , what i'm really concerned about is Cleffa , with it , every deck will like have 4 of it. Wish they'd make it a secret rare to balance the metagame....hehehehe....Can't wait for the Gator God to return again and slay the pesky Red dragon and the freaky Flaming mole.

This could be kind of neat in draft, and I'm pretty sure there are some Pokemon that stop retreat when the opponent is affected by a special condition. Poliwrath from FRLG, Venusaur ex does 3 special conditions. Makes for a fun deck.
bangiras said:
It's like a grass Gorebyss, only it doesn't count the opponent's energy. Not that great, but it's better to be grass than water in this metagame (Dark Tyranitar is weak to grass, fire weakness is better than lightning weakness), so it could see some play. *shrug*
bangiras said:
How cool would an Armaldo and Houndoom deck be? Your opponent couldn't play trainers at all. You would just need to shut down their Pidgeot (Delcatty's taken care of with Moon) and they would be drawing only one card per turn. With Dark Slowking in play, you could control that card. Yum. ;/
bangiras said:
Mmm, nice. Since it's an ex and you've got to load it up with energy, I probably won't play it, but I really love its power, and the attack can do 130 damage in conjunction with something like Flygon or Electrode ex (Trode ex could put all the energy on Team Aqua's Manectric, which it could move to Ho-oh, and when Ho-oh died, you could move the energy back to Team Aqua's Manectric with Ho-oh's built in 2x EXP. All). Cool!
bangiras said:
This is a really excellent card. You could combine it with Poliwrath (FRLG) to confuse it, lock it in place, then switch to Politoed ex, which could use its attack where it bounces back to Poliwrath to keep it locked forever (unless of course the opponent uses Switch, Warp Point, Reversal, Briney, etc.) to do a lot of damage over a long period of time. Definitely a format impacting possibility.
bangiras said:
Wynaut, only for Water and Fighting (and it doesn't have the infinite searching capability with infinite energy clause). Could be decent, but I think I'll stick to Dunsparce and Cleffa. Still, stuff like Corsola is always worth mentioning.
bangiras said:
Combine with Sandstorm Elekid. Possibility for a T2-3 'Buzz that resists special energy cards for 40 like Glalie, but with a souped-up attack. It's main problem is its weakness to fighting, but the format could be taking a gigantic shift after this set. We won't know until it's released.
bangiras said:
Expedition Amphy returns. Team Aqua's Manectric has proven to be better in decks such as Blaziken (although using neither is the best option), but it's something to note that they're reprinting it.
bangiras said:
How sweet is this? It's a part ATM: Rock, part Deoxys Xatu. Correct me if I'm wrong. With the new tools coming out soon, there's no way that this won't see some initial hype, if not some Regional play.
bangiras said:
This is perfect for decks like Dark Slowking or Primape, which rely on Tools to do big damage. It's worthless as just a searching pokemon if you don't use either of the formerly mentioned, though, since Pidgeot can search those tools out for you, and while the new tools are good, they're not good enough to merit playing 1-1 or 2-2 of Slowking just to search for tools. This is also the first Slowking EVER, as far as I can remember, that has a good attack. 80 damage for 2 energy? Sick.
bangiras said:
If Politoed ex decks see play, this might too, to Tech against lightning, but it's a huge metagame card. It would OHKO Dark Ampharos for only 1 Double Rainbow Energy, and 90 for 3 energy (two of which are colorless) isn't so bad, as the current format runs rampant with Stage 2s. It's a doubtful prospect, but if Politoed ex gets big, this will see a few techs.
bangiras said:
Aquapolis Sudowoodo, right? We don't really have any other good way of mimicing the defending Pokemon's attacks now (Clefable ex is awful), only Benched Pokemon's attacks, which may or may not be a good thing. However, Sudowoodo can't use DRE or Scramble energies. In a deck like Flygon or Electrode ex, maybe. Otherwise, it'll be hard, but we'll see what comes up.
bangiras said:
Ehhh. It does OHKO Dunsparce, if Dunsparce has used SARs for the full three Pokemon and all you've got is Tyrogue. But they have to fill up their bench a whole lot for Tyrogue to be effective (by effective, I mean not run the risk of being immediately KO'd if you have no benched Pokemon) This really isn't that great, unless I'm making a n00b out of myself (again) and don't see something. =/
bangiras said:
I can't remember if this is the Promo or the Discovery Eevee, but both were good, if I recall correctly. I haven't played Unlimited, much less THOUGHT about any of the Neo sets for just about forever. This set is a good refresher. =) This Eevee should see play if Umbreon ex and Espeon ex do.
bangiras said:
There's a big difference between 6 and 7. People will need to run more drawing when Dunsparce leaves. From Cleffa's 6 cards, after you draw one next turn, you'll have 7. Just play an energy and Steven's Advice. Oh wait. The opponent has out a Cleffa. Steven's Advice will give you 2-3 cards. =/ I guess it's back to maxing on Copycat. Cleffa will either drastically change trainer engines in decks, or fall flat on its annoyingly cute face, when it's released. I'm hoping for the former, but something is whispering in my ear that it's the latter.
bangiras said:
Why are people talking about this and Magcargo? Seriously, this isn't that good. I'd rather just Magcargo and then TV Reporter, or Mary's Impulse, or Steve, or something. Actually, I'd rather just use Pidgeot for the card instead of wasting a spot for Aipom. -___-
bangiras said:
I really shouldn't be mentioning this, but it looks interesting. I mean, Data Retrieval would be sweet if you were extremely desperate, but unlike Exeggutor from FRLG, which only has the Eeeeeeeek for 8 cards and some random flippy attack, Porygon 2 has the "Return a Tool to your hand" power. If Espeon ex gets popular, hey, that might be useful. Or completely useless. Take your pick. I'll definitely try a 1-1 in a deck or two, and if it's a lame idea, so be it, but I tried. ;/
bangiras said:
I just had to comment on the fact that they're using the "Thick Fat" ability from the GBA in the TCG. Maybe the format will become dominated by Blaziken/Blastoise decks and Miltank will score a huge break. ;p
bangiras said:
Pokemon Nurse in Pokemon form. I guess you would use a few Super Scoop Ups with Blissey ex, and Energy Absorbtion would be extremely awesome (since it'd be hard to OHKO Blissey ex) because you could get back three Scramble energy or something, and then move them (with Sceptile's Energy Trans, which also complements its power) to the bench, or something like that. It's cool to think about. This card will be abused somehow, I hope. I love the small retreat cost. =)
bangiras said:
<3<3<3. Elemental Blast for 200 damage? That's incredible! There will be some way to manipulate this, I know that much. Being weak to C and being an ex doesn't help, but this is so much better than Charizard ex, that's for sure (although Lugia ex can't OHKO Wailord ex w/ a Buffer Piece like Chex can <3).
bangiras said:
Cool. Like Espeon, it has one of those "come into play powers", only it's an automatic GOW with Umby. Super Scoop up the Umbreon ex and do it again. It's too risky for tournaments, most likely, but a fun idea. The power compliments the first attack, and Dark Dragonite/Dark Electrode would make Umbreon ex easy to power up. Possibilities are nice.
bangiras said:
Cool, I guess. =/ Disturb is the best attack I see there, although discarding the Top 3 cards of your own deck works with stuff like Marowak FRLG and Slowking from this set, along with maybe Banette from HL (I know Banette does damage for Special Energy in opponent's discard, but I think its other attack does damage for Evolutions in your own discard? Ehh..) Still, Ludicolo (Deoxys Holo) is a much better option when looking to discard certain cards in vast quantities. This won't see play, I don't think.
bangiras said:
Neat. It's Volcanic Ash all over again. ;/ This time, though, it's on a Pokemon with 2 resistances and a 5 C retreat cost. There is the cool MCC 70 attack, and the no-being-poisoned Body. This card looks straightforward after the monotony that was Eon (Blaze, Blaze, Blaze, Blaze, Blaze).
bangiras said:
This card looks extremely exciting. With four metals, it will be almost impossible to OHKO Scizor ex, and even harder to do it without activating his Poke Body first. It will basically be an automatical 120 damage if Scizor gets hit, since Hay isn't coming back any time soon, or at least I don't believe so. Steel Wing only helps Scizor ex out as he gets stocked for his 2nd attack, which is also boostable, an unbelivable treat. This card is also the first card that evolves from an ex or a normal card. Cool little twist, because the Scyther in this set is great.
bangiras said:
These are both excellent. PETM we've all seen before, but Mary's Request we haven't. I think it could very well see some play, as it's just a TV Reporter with the bonus (drawback, in some decks) of not discarding a card. TV Reporter may very well be the better choice still, since Cleffa is coming back and Copycat will be maxed on if Cleffa becomes popular again.
bangiras said:
I don't like that bold text. It does bolster Electrode ex players, though. Electrode ex/Delcatty would greatly benefit from something like this, if it could find the room. Neat little card, probably will make the cut for teching 1 in, in some cases, but not in copies or 2, 3 or 4, I'd say, unless the deck ran Electrode ex or other kamikaze-type Pokemon.
bangiras said:
Gross, gross, gross. Gold Berry was way better. There's a gigantic difference between 3 and 4. The format is shaped in such a way that OHKOs aren't as big a thing as they were when Blaziken dominated, but removing just 3 damage counters is not worth the space for a Sitrus Berry, unless you're running something like Slowbro or Xatu or Bellossom. *shrug* I just don't think so, what with the no Dark, owner, and ex Pokemon. That eliminates Dark Tyranitar, Dark Ampharos, Dark Dragonite, Rocket's Sneasel ex, Rocket's Scyther ex, Team Magma's Groudon, Dark Electrode, etc etc. Gold > Sitrus.
bangiras said:Power Root (Pokemon Tool)
The Pokemon that this card is attached to has its max HP increased by 20. The Pokemon that this card is attached to can't use Poke Powers or Poke Bodies. This card can't be attached to a Pokemon that already has a tool attached to it. This card can't be attached to Pokemon ex, Dark Pokemon, or Pokemon with an owner it its name. If this card becomes attached to one of those Pokemon, discard it. No splashable Magma Groudon, sorry.
Again, there's not much this can be attached to in terms of the main decks in the metagame. However, I can see one thing that would hugely benefit from this card: FRLG Slowbro. Wait, it couldn't use its Poke Power. Seriously, what can you attach this to. It would be nice to attach it to Armaldo for a turn to shut off its power, use Supporters, then use Porygon 2 <3 to bring the Power Root back into your hand so that your opponent can't use trainers, but I don't see a purpose for this card. Increase your Dunsparce's HP to 70? =/
bangiras said:
Just a beefed-up Counterattacks Claws from Neo Destiny or Revelation, I believe. Destiny, I think. Anyway, this would seriously be a cool deck if you combined it with Sharpedo from R&S or something like that. Might be an idea worth looking into.
bangiras said:
This card is cool because you can attach it to basics, but at the same price as Power Root and Sitrus Berry: you can't attach it to Pokemon with Dark or Owner in their names. Bummer. Lightness Berry does last forever, but Balloon Berry can be attached to any Pokemon (except maybe exs, I can't really remember). I think this will see play even with its gigantic drawback. Free retreat is way too uncommon nowadays.
bangiras said:
This can be attached to Darks and Owned Pokemon. Sweet! Dark Dragonite can thrive without fear of Crystal Shard, a little more than usual, anyway. Plus, this card is just awesome overall. It's a permenant weakness guard. This is probably the main reason that Espeon ex's 2nd attack will be powerful. Buffer Gem is incredible!
bangiras said:
Both are good cards. Warp Energy is great in stuff like Slaking/Blaziken, or just in Blaziken in general. It's a good Tech card, period. Cyclone is less used, but it's better than people give it credit for, I believe, so I stuck it on here.
This set is unbelievable. I can't fathom how this will impact the RS-On format, but it's going to leave some kind of mark. Maybe some of this stuff will appear in EX: Emerald. We don't really know for sure, but it's nice to speculate once in a while. I didn't include the Unknowns because I was extremely disappointed the Unknowns Dark, Metal, and Normal were not reprinted with their powers, and I had hoped that maybe the Unknowns F, G, L, W, and P (and R for fiRe?) would get powers too. Alas, no, but there are some extremely cool unknowns that might wriggle their way into tournament play. A lot of them only need colorless energies. Good stuff.

Somebody has a lot of time on their hands.
Yeah, I agree, this set has sooo much potential. I don't think any set in the past has had so many great cards. This set will give the game a 360.

Just in case it hasn't been said yet in here. Based on the topic that Mike Liesik posted in the Worlds forum, which is on the sets is legal for worlds, he does make a bit of quick mention of EX10 (tentative title) and it suggests that it is to be at or after Worlds. So assuming this set is the next set or if it is even later on, it is mostly likely now few or none of these cards will show in the upcoming EX: Emerald set. However this is my pure speculation as a player so who knows what might happen.

Nope. That's definantly not the longest post ever. Look at EX: PreEmptive Darkness in CaC. 148 Text spoilers in a single post. SuperWooper, why did you say Lugia ex is weak to Colourless when the text spoiler say psychic?

The same way he could say Scramble Energy can be attached to Blissey ex?

Sorry for misreading the card. =/ I guess this means I'm not perfect, which is something I'm constantly trying to prove to everyone, but now all the work that I've been building for years and years has crumbled into nothingness, and it's all your fault ZoraJolteon!!!1
If it is weak to Psychic (because psychic is not a very popular type NOW, but very well could be in the next few months what with Emerald and this set [whenever GSSS comes out...late July?]), then that's good for Lugia ex. Nobody plays Gardevoir anymore, ensuring that it will be able to hit for 200 two turns in a row, however people choose to do it. Electrode ex/TA Manectric, Flygon, Team Magma's Camerupt/Ampharos, etc. Cool.
