When is the prerelease!!!!!

 

[AyameHikaru]

August 7th and 14th, with some places opting for another weekend because of Worlds, IIRC. I know mine is on the 7th.

Also, 5th gen is looking awesome. ^^ Can't wait for the PokeCenters to start stocking Chiraami plushies!

 

[kingyorri]

All i want from the prerelease is umbreon and espeon prime.

 

[franklie]

Are those like the only good cards in the whole set xcept the legends and alph?

 

[kingyorri]

well umbreon is soppose to be good but espeon is ok

 

[thepliskin5005]

scizor prime is my favorite and i like umbreons pokemon power but what i want from undaunted is dodrio my curse gar deck will need him when moon light stadium go's rayquzza and deyoys legend takes a lot to power up but i like the stadium card alpha ruins its great with kelkoon from riseing rivals i might build a deck around that.

I have not seen the Umbreon or Espeon Prime, what do they do?

 

[AyameHikaru]

Espeon Prime is essentially the Omniscient Arceus - Exact same pokebody only 'from all pokemon that evolve from Eevee in play.' It's attack is meh, doing 30 and healing 10 off your pokemon.

Umbreon Prime's Pokepower is a once-per-turn SSU attempt if he's active. His attack does 50 + 10 more for each pokemon in play that evolves from Eevee. (We're waiting on the official translation as to whether or not that includes himself) His damage output could be 50 (base) + 40 (Eeveelutions) + 40 (Special Darks) + 20 (Expert belt) for a grand total of 150, which IIRC is more than any Eeveelution has ever done before. (Leafeon from the next set actually has him beat with a max of 170, but it's a lot harder to pull off.)

 

[bullados]

Leafeon LvX MD can hit for indefinite damage, upwards of 530x2+30. I had a version at one point that could reliably hit for 110+ very quickly.

Seems I have never been "Daunted" in the first place.

Ah, I forgot about that. Yeah, second place, then, to Leafeon Lv. X.

Platinum Torterra? Feraligatr Prime? Platinum Blastoise? GE Pelipper? MT Lumineon? GS Starmie?

There's a LOT out there that can hit for a LOT of damage.

Except those aren't Eevees.

 

[Kayle]

It's best to cap Umbreon's damage output at 110 or 120 because that's really all that's reasonable. Stacking special Darks on things is not very easy, though EEU will help.
