Looking over Skyridge.. I wanted to see how many CCC attacks there were when I found the new Starmie Water Type...

Go to the Light
Pokémon (21)
4 Dratini (Des)
1 Light Dragonair (Des)
3 Light Dragonite (Des)
4 Eevee (Dis)
3 Espeon (1 Dis/ 2 Aq)
2 Staryu
2 Starmie (Skyridge Water type)
2 Tyrogue

Trainers (25)
3 Bill
2 Elm
3 Oak’s Research
2 Elm Training Method
3 Poke Nurse
1 Power Charge
3 Warp Point
3 Pokémon Breeders
3 Pokémon Traders
2 Eco Gym

Energy (14)
4 Boost
10 Psychic Energy

Light Nites biggest problem is dealing heavy Damage.... Starmie takes this to the Psychic/ Core Blast level.. Here is the Translation.. if it holds up:

Starmie 70 HP (W)
Stage 1 Evolves from Staryu
(W) Water Gun 10+
Does 10 damage plus 20 damage for
each (W) energy attached to
Starmie but not used to pay for
this attack’s Energy cost. You
can’t add more than 40 damage in
this way.
(CCC) Core Blast 30+
Does 30 damage plus 20 damage
times the number of Energy cards
attached to the Defending Pokémon.
Weakness Resistance Retreat Cost
(L) -(C)
Kyoko Umemoto 025/088 Uncommon

Though it has low HP.. it is perfect with L. Nite. Attach Boost to him while Night is Active.. Then next turn Core Blast so you are going to average at least 50 per turn... if not more... yeah you could take 3 turn to power it up... but that is with 3 nrg cards whe nyou could power it in one tur and start going to town... Espy Aq makes sure you can last for a while and can get that Boost up and where it needs to be... ah the fun of Light Dragon with the Skyridge set will be awesome and interesting.. I expect quite a few Rogue decks at SBZ this Month... Good luck to all!!

Yeah - my spoiler is all marked up next to Core Blast!! With all the 4- and 5-energy attacks (especially in Skyridge and future sets), can you say "110 damage against an opponent with 4 energy"???

I would persenely take the ecogym out and put 1 power charge more in it because you need the boost energy and put 1 more Copycat to for new hand's . Would you plz tell me where I can find the translation of the Skyride cards [Blush] ? I can't find them anywhere [Confused] .

It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby./Although the wings it evolved on its feet allow it to fly at high speeds, they unfortunately make it difficult to perch.

Unfortunately, the released card contains the word "special" in front of energy...!!! [Frown]

I'm not surprised that 'special' is there. Core Blast as an attack has been on a few pokemon, always against special energies.

Grote_Crobat, scans of each Skyridge card can be found a pokemonzeo except it was very slow on my computer.
