Actually, I saw a Groundbreakers starter set at Wal-Mart today. It had Latios, Raticate, a different colored Red, and I don't remember the other figure that well, but I think it was Donphan.

I didn't buy it. I didn't have any money and my mom wouldn't get it.

I do remember what the Latios did. 1 40 damage white attack, 1 90 damage white attack, 2 decent-sized Dodge spaces, a Pokemon Power , when it's knocked out, it's removed from the game, and I think 2 MP.

Still going to need photographic proof of this.

I'd be very surprised that they'd introduce a figure which could get permanently KOed. That just wouldn't be tournament viable, IMO.

The power mentioning that it is permentantly KOed probably has to do with the "2 decent-sized Dodge spaces". It's probably just a big dodge wall until it is finally KOed.

....Except this guy has no proof and Groundbreakers is not out until at least December.

And of course the game can then end in a draw.

I just saw Wikipedia had this under their Groundbreakers Section


Groundbreakers is the first expansion set. It is expected to be released in winter.
Pokemon Groundbreakers "Skydive" TFG Starter contains: Green, Latios, Raticate and Hariyama. On the reverse of this starter pack, the set spoiler shows: Armaldo, Blastoise, Bulbasaur, Cacnea, Cyndaquil, Elekid, Flaafy, Geodude, Girafarig, Hariyama, Jigglypuff, Kabuto, Kadabra, Lairon, Lapras, Larvitar, Latias, Latios, Linoone, Mankey, Metagross, Mewtwo, Mightyena, Noctowl, Poliwag, Psyduck, Raticate, Slaking, Smoochum, Snubbull, Spinarak, Spinda, Steelix, Venusaur, Wartortle, Wobbuffet, Xatu, Zubat, Green, Koga, Landon, Sabrina. Preliminary release date is approx.


So either Lucario EX got his claim from here or.....it's legit? o_O

Wikipedia sits on a throne on lies.

Anybody can edit it and put anything they want on there.

Ya that's true, but it's still a double source confirmation of sorts...unless your saying Lucario EX himself edited the wiki, which offiously is entirly possible.

Still, what, did Lucario EX just make up those latios stats? That's a pretty extensive lie, ALSO the fact that he said he "thought" he saw DONPHAN who, according to unreliable wiki, is NOT in groundbreakers. SO either he had amazing forsight as to make-up a fake "mistake" so that his claim seemed more realisitc, or, it was real. =/

The interview said they were hoping to release it this winter. Why would Walmart suddenly have it?

Why does Target or Meijers occasionally have TCG booster packs before the prereleases even start?

Groundbreakers is set to be released December 13th, if I remember correctly. That's about 3 weeks away.
I can believe that someone got it already, though it's probably not THAT likely.
I'm going to have to agree with the "Pics or it didn't happen" theory. For both the pushback and the seeing em at walmart.

I saw the "Skydive" starter set at my Walmart today, too. It's definitely out there.

So what then, are these starters just leaking?!? And it's just starters right, no one has seen any boosters? What is going on lol

I find it amusing that no one who's supposedly seen the alleged Skydive has bought it and/or posted pics.
I'm declaring shenanigans.

No it wouldn't unless Latias or w/e has the same power, because you'd need 4 removed from play then blow up 2 guys from each team with Voltorb or Absol to tie with everything dead (no Revives) or removed.

So the fact that the starter has been seen in Walmart, does that mean Groundbreakers ISNT being pushed back till March?
Or maybe the starters will be available winter/now, but the 2 and 3 figure boosters might be the things delayed.

I wonder what will be the visible pokemon, and if they will do the same thing and have 'promotional' D/P pokemon that are not on the list that has been floating around !

I'd guess the set is pushed back until March but someone didn't get the memo.

I wonder if the TFG set release dates will have distance from the TCG set release dates so they don't conflict with each other.

I heard that the distributor for my store is out of the boosters for Next Quest so I hope this is a signal that a new set is coming earlier than March.

Why would you even begin to think it was delayed till march? There's no official news of this. The original poster's distributor made a mistake, that's all there is to it.
It's still coming out in December.
