Breloom LV.37 - Fighting - HP90
Stage 1-Evolves from Shroomish

[F] Float Uppercut: 40 damage. Until the end of your next turn, the Defending Pokemon that was hit by this attack has no retreat cost.
[C][C] Crush Bomber: 20 damage. If the Defending Pokemon has any Special Energy attached to it, this attack does an additional 40 damage. Then, discard 1 Special Energy attached to the Defending Pokemon.

Weakness: Fire (+20)
Resistance: none
Retreat Cost: 1
Set Number: 59

This is the most interesting card to me. It hints that SW won't be rotated next year, it is clearly meant to combo with Breloom SW.
 
Venasuar would be great if Sceptile doesn't get rotated.
40 for 2 with sceptile and 40 for each special condition.
Plus it's first attack puts 3 special conditions on the defending pokemon if you have 80+ damage on it. Add shaymin in the mix and it has 180 HP.
I would play it if Sceptile doesn't get rotated.

Venusaur LV.55 - Grass - HP140
Stage 2-Evolves from Ivysaur

Poke-Body: Aroma Green
Your Grass-type Pokemon can’t be affected by Special Conditions. Remove any Special Conditions on your Grass-type Pokemon.

[G] Last-Ditch Pollen: 30 damage. If Venusaur has 8 or more damage counters on it, the Defending Pokemon is now Poisoned, Burned, and Confused.
[G][G][C][C] Special React: 40 damage. This attack does an additional 40 damage for each Special Condition on the Defending Pokemon.

Weakness: Fire (+40)
Resistance: none
Retreat Cost: 4
Set Number: 3

Or it points to the fact that Japan won't keep the same rotation as us?

Or it could mean japan and us get no sets rotated...

Set is.. Exemplary, but not solid. It's lacking a lot of hard hitters or anything extremely notable. Most strongest cards IMHO:

Blaziken G Level X - Let the donkfests continue. You already control the field turn 1, then just level it up and nuke whatever for a lot of damage. Who cares about that extra 40? You have Poketurn if it gets too hot.

Absol G Level X - It sounds counter-productive, but again. Energy Gain, Dark Energy, Poketurn. Go. If it didn't benefit from the tools of the trade, then it wouldn't be viable, but 60-70 damage for one energy (and a discarded card which helps your Volkner's/Uxies/what have you.) is disgusting. The fact that Poketurn exists makes the power a little bit more viable too.

Emo Bird G Level X - Lack of supporters getting you blue? Need a Roseanne's Research to get your depressing looking bench up to par? Really need a Cyrus to get that critical Energy Gain to turn this game around? Look no further. Absolutely amazing tech. I'm sorry, to me this is a Holon Transciever every turn. and I see no reason to not have this guy in every deck once he comes out.

Garchomp (Non G) - Disruptive simply through its half-way decent and defensive body, its attack in addition to the second coming of Buffer Piece makes him a psuedo-wall with Kingdra annihilating capabilities (Oh-hi 100 damage for you only having one water on that silly Kingdra.), in addition to the fact that G Pokemon are most likely going to be running rampant (Energy Gain hates this in addition to their really low HP..), and lets not forget.. Oh-hi Garchomp Level X from Majestic Dawn making this guy happy.

Buffer Piece - I so happy.

btw, that Rayquaza Hype is silly. He really isn't that good.

There no... Blaziken G nor Staraptor G... they are FB
 
Absol G LV.X's Power can be reused with 'Message of Ruin' as it returns Absol and all cards attached to it back to your hand if I'm correct.

nope my friend, its only energies.

[D][C][C] Message of Ruin: Return all Energy attached to Absol G to your hand. At the end of your opponent's next turn, the Pokemon that was hit by this attack is Knocked Out.

Chatot will be amazing in G decks, Absol G decks and Rhyperior. You pretty much get to choose what you are discarding, and the attack can get any Galactic's Invention to date. Meaning you can grab a Power Spray while you deck them.
 
I want to see Lunasol work soooooooo bad. :biggrin: I don't think it can though. :frown: Before any of you waste your time, I tested Milotic/Banette this morning, it's absolutely awful. Night Teleporter+ Uxie is AMAZING. Dodrio................................ maybe, I can't decide yet.

Yanmega/Leafeon. Interesting. The ninjas could be fun in specific metagames, but I don't think it'd work in most.
