    First Ticket Followup

    English scans in from canada: http://pokebeach.com/news/1012/dragon-vault-3.jpg Since you play it BEFORE the coin would be flipped, my interpretation is yes, as the coin is not flipped until both players have placed an active Pokemon. Is this line of reasoning correct?

    TCGO PVP Soft Release date and news

    Post on their forums here. Of note, they're upgrading their forums to vBulletin, a very welcome change. They also soft-confirmed that all card collections are being moved, and not reset. Quite a good set of announcements, and I'm glad to see it getting ready for release once again.

    Chaos Gym with modern Plus Power text

    I assume my opponent cannot use the effect still, but I wanted to confirm. The compendium has the ruling for the older text: Q. Chaos Gym is in play. I play a Plus Power. I flip a tails. Can my opponent use it on their next turn? If not, why? Are there other cards that can't be used? A. They...

    Nidoking and Yanmega on a doubles team as an attacking role

    I'm not exactly very experienced in the way of VGC, but I'm looking to see how to make yanmega and nidoking as playable as possible. I assume Nidolking would be a physical sweeper, but what would I use yanmega for? And what sort of moveset should I look into?

    The old style Pokeballs with belt clips

    Does anything comparable exist on today's market, or am I stuck looking on eBay and such? I work at a Grocery store, and for Halloween, we're encouraged to dress up for the kids. This year, I was thinking of doing a Pokemon trainer theme. However, my old play set of poke balls is long gone...

    Peek (Base) vs. Alph Lithograph (TM) or Azelf (LA)

    Player A uses the poke-power "peek" to view one of player B's face-down prize cards. Player B, on her turn, plays either Alph Lithograph or uses Time Walk. Since we have a ruling that one can re-arrange their prize cards after viewing them (and can take notes about them); does player B have to...

    Is intentionally scooping moral?

    I've always wondered what other people thought about this. I bring it up now because of Kenny Wisdom's most recent report (on another site that I cannot link except in my sig) To copy-paste my thoughts from there: "By scooping to your friend, by definition, you kicked somebody else out of...

    Pokemon, Randomness, and You

    Pokemon, Randomness and You: Clearing up Some Misconceptions Introduction: As much as we players dislike it, probability and luck are very prominent parts of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Some decks aim to eliminate it as best as possible; others choose to embrace the flips, such as...

    Eviolite On TCGO

    Well, I went to build Durant and have fun. But no. Eviolite is bugged. It might as well read "this card does nothing but sit there and laugh at you" because it sure as heck doesn't reduce any damage. I filed a bug report, but it's disappointing that such a metagame-related card bug would be...

    Machoke TM Vs Carracosta NV

    If I use "knuckle down" against an opposing Carracosta, do they get to flip the coin? And if they do, is the damage reduced? The timing is just a wee bit confusing to me.

    Error Cards

    Besides a new collection of death glares from any collectors in the room, is there any rule against using error cards in a sanctioned event? For instance, let's say I have a yanmega prime that was accidentally printed on the fire type template. (I don't, purely hypothetical) So long as I play...

    "The Stream Team"

    So, read http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=155682 and saw this: So what the heck, I'm in. I'm playing Yanmega/Magnezone and Blastzel and sometimes a bit of Tyram. The matches are recorded individually, then paused, and resumed, so that each match can be found at the "recordings"...

    Community Effort: Teacher Decks, anyone?

    Here’s a resource that I feel is missing from the tcg community: Lists for “Hi I’m new but my favourite pokemon is XYZ and I want to build a deck built around XYZ only” It may not be tier one, but those players just want to use their favourite pokemon. So I figured, why not make a...

    Sigh. Gas is expensive.

    You know, I live in the heart of California, in the town of Clovis, California. Most people would locate it more easily if I say "basically Fresno." My random 1:25amish sigh comes from the fact that while California gets a LOT of organized play events, (Heck, we get TWO! regionals), we get...

    Beartic "Sheer Cold" and Meta-rulings

    Last turn, my opponent used "sheer cold" against me. I have a squirtle UL active, and declare "Rain Splash". Now, my question is: Since I declared an attack, I am now in the attack phase, right? But since Sheer Cold prevents attacks, am I booted out of the attack phase and given the option to...

    (Semi-unlimited) Umbreon UD vs Yanmega Prime with Dialga G lv X in play

    Umbreon attacks with "moonlight fang" and does 30 damage to Yanmega. The Yanmega players retreats for dialga G, levels up said pokemon, then plays switch, going back to Yanmega, who has the proper energy attached. The player then announces "sonicboom". This scenario came up in casual play...
