A really REALLY silly question BUT...

[Deoxys Cool Form]

Are great pokemon like Lv.X's?

Like do you but Feriligatr Great onto a normal Feriligatr?

Just need to know thanks:)

[legotack]

I don't think so, nothing on the card says so. I also think they have the same name as their normal form.

[FlareonMaster]

They are basically the same thing as Ex cards just that you don't take two prizes for knocking out a Great Pokemon. So the answer is no, they evolve, not level up. I don't mind the Great cards at all but I wish instead of Legend cards they could have Lv.X too like have 3 of each a set or something. Now that would be cool. LOL

LEGEND cards > Lv.X cards, from PUSA's point of view (or whoever makes the decisions on these things). They are a new gimmick and a great marketing scheme. That's the reason Head Office probably even came up with the idea.
From my point of view they are both big novelties...can't we just go back and play with straight Basic-Stage 1-Stage 2 lines?

That is what a great is basically Napoleon just that they are harder to find than casual rare/holos and are glossier. LOL.

They are JUST NORMAL POKÉMON.

No rule, nothing.

[Deoxys Cool Form]

Ok thanks.

One more thing can you play a 4-4-4-4 line for example? Or just a 4-4-4 line.

[cmak37]

I would assume that since it has the same name, you can still only play a 4-4-4 line. I really hope that they aren't too hard to pull...

I agree that having great pokemon essentially does nothing, but don't look at those as replaces lv Xs, the legendary 2 card guys are the ones replacing them.

[FlareonMaster]

IMO the Legend cards shouldn't be and they should have Lv.X in place of them but I do however like the Great cards!

No, aren't great pokemon the new Lv.xs? Like wouldn't you have to go from ursarinng mt and level it up or "great it up" into Great Ursaring?

[G landers]

The way i read it, legend pokemon evolve from great pokemon, but only if you have a great ball

No no no no no! You need to snap together one Great Pokemon and one Legend pokemon at the SAME TIME! otherwise you have to discard it and you don't get to remove effects of attacks. Case Closed.

You're only allowed to run 3-3-3-3, because that adds up to a standard Pre-Lv.Great 4-4-4 chain

[legotack]

This is how LEGENDS work. You put the top half and the bottom half on the bench at the same time. It counts as one benched Pokemon. Greats and LEGENDS have nothing to do with each other.

You can only gat a great pokemon in play by rare candying an sp pokemon to a Legend Pokemon, then waiting a turn

[G landers]

Lv.X pokemon aren't that great anyway

Not sure what to say to you.

Anyway, my perception is, Great Pokemon work just like normal evolutions except they are considered "Great" for the effects of attacks and trainers, not "Evolutions". Because their name does not change, they cannot be stacked with cards of the same name (You can't have 4 Feraligatr and 4 Great Feraligatr in a deck - only a combination that adds up to four).

Legends Pokemon are completely unrelated. To play a Legend Pokemon you need both of its cards in your hand, and you put them down together on your bench.

This is a troll, right? I sure hope so.

[Kayle]

I think it was. You're not doing so well, Mr. Troll.

[FlareonMaster]

As I said before, I will say again to clear things up for some. Legend Cards you put down at the same time (Top and Half of the Legend cards such as Lugia Legend) so that way it will be allowed and not discarded. Great Pokemon evolve like any other Pokemon Stage 1 or 2. So the Great Pokemon are like what Ex cards were before DP Base Set, but you don't take two prizes for knocking them out, the Legend Pokemon are taking the place of Lv.X cards and as I said above only work when you put down both half's at the same time.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "GREAT" POKÉMON, gameplay wise anyway. Can you play 4 Beedrill GE and 4 Beedrill RR? No, of course not. Now why would it be any different because of a shiny border and name?

There doesn't even need to be a rule because there's already an existing rule, one that's been with the TCG since Base Set - you may only have up to copies of a card with the same name, except Basic energy. The only exceptions to the rule are where it is printed, such as Arceus, Shining Pokémon, and Pokémon-Star.

Don't forget about SP pokemon now. LOL

[Progress]

What about SP Pokémon?

[toxictaipan]

You guys seriously need to stop joking around. You're just going to end up confusing peolpe in the long run, and it's not even that funny to begin with. By the way, these are the same people who were causing trouble in this thread.

In my opinion, infractions are warranted for knowingly giving false information numerous times.
