Punishing Poketools

Like the title says, what are a few non- Tropical Tidal Wave cards that can discard Poketools. I'm trying to make a new deck to finish this format off with but Eviolite really hurts it.

I'm not sure what would work well. Deck space is already tight but I'll dedicate space to stop the card.

Right now there aren't any other than Tropical Tidal Wave, I don't think... There's definitely no other Item/Supporer/Stadium cards for it.

Heatmor from NV can discard tools but that's definitely not worth using up an attack.
You also could just wait for Tool Scrapper which could be in Dragons Exalted.

When is the set coming out. Before or after rotation?

After. Tropical Tidal Wave is the only option.

And yes, it seems Eviolite can kill a lot of concepts

guess I'd need to invest in Tropical Tidal Wave. Thanks.

Keep in mind that Tropical Tidal Wave will be rotating.

King that is wrong. Dragon exalted comes out in early to mid August. Rotation isn't until September 1st. Are you thinking of when the next season starts? That starts on July 9th. Tool Scrapper may not be in Dragons Exalted.

Ok, fine, but there aren't actually any TOURNAMENTS. I was speaking more in terms of practicality over complete accuracy.

You knew full well what King Piplup meant, and what vaporeon meant. The rotation is effective mid August for basically any tournament player. Rotation really only matter for Premier events, which don't happen until September.

And it is very, very likely that we will get Tool Scrapper in Dragons Exalted. IN fact, it's more likely than not going to be in that set.

This entire response of yours felt kinda rude and unnecessary. You are just arguing silly semantics and irrelevant details that most of us know already. And it placed unnecessary ridicule on King Piplup, who was being helpful and in no way misinforming anyone.

I know but I may have found a functional way to use Pidgeot from call of legends and it has a fairly decent matchup with Darkrai. Just Eviolite ruins in. I'd only be using the card to finish up this format though.

Heatmor NV does it for RC, Excavalier DEX does it for M. You could also try and stop them from ever playing it with Vileplume.
