poke-power making comeback!@!@!

will poke-power make a comeback from the searchable CC by castaway because of pachiritsu dp4??

pachiritsu gets rid of tools for 1 energy, searches his, or her hand for the same tool and discard it, and does 40 dmg....

its other attk does Call for family searching for 3 basic pokemon and for 1 energy once again

NO, Ape is still around ;) but anyway... powers were never dead because, with a format without powers, there is no format to break :O. Powers are what pokemon great, because you can use the pokemons instead of using things like trainers, tools, stadiums or supporters and it balances out the game a bit. Just think what is one of the most popular decks right now. Garde/Lade thats what. It abuses powers to the max. OK well, hope it helps

Make that 227-14. I completely creamed this guy at worlds. Him: Infercatty. Me: Salpolrein. Pretty much a mix of Sally delta, Empo Lv.X and Walrein Ex. He didn't even get to his 2nd Turn.

That "The Gigarita Chikofly Definitive" deck is so broke.
I can't believe nobody has thought to build it before.

I must say, powers never died in my area. Most decks abuse powers, ask Gardy and Delcatty

Even with CC most poke-power decks ran windstorm to get rid of cc. Yes poke-power decks may have decrease in numbers a little but hay cc never made me stop playing poke-power decks, nore did it scare most people in my area to stop playing them as well. All though that pachiritsu will help even more aganst cc because windstorm is not a searchabull card...... heck I think pachiritsu will make not only cc a little more harder to play but other tools like buffer pice as well.
