Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Thoughts on Poison Hypnotic Beam?

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but a deck that inhibits your ability to retreat while simultaneously sniping would work awesome with PHP. Maybe something with Eels/Raikou/Garbodor? Catcher up a Blastoise or Hydreigon while preventing Keldeo and Darkrai's free retreat while sniping around and having the active die a slow, painful death in the active spot. Now if only we still had Crobat G...

I don't think it's as much of a staple as Catcher though, and don't think it will reach Catcher prices.

How would you Dynomotor while Garbodor's Ability is active? Scrap your own Tools every turn, Dynomotor, and then re-attach a tool?
 
Argh, you're right, I had it in my head that Garbodor only blocked opponent's abilities. My bad!

So... no surprise Ditto Transformation?

Just something I was wondering about... Ditto makes it so you can throw some pretty bizarre combos at the opponent. Provided Ditto already belongs in the deck. In this case, provided you also already had adequate Pokémon Tool coverage in the deck, you could use Ditto, waiting until you absolutely needed to lock down Abilities, and go Trubbish=>Garbodor in one turn.

Still, I guess that wouldn't do much good for Raikou EX since it is such an energy hog. Maybe with a more Energy efficient sniper or spread Pokémon?
