    Plasma Blast Elite Trainer Box

    I managed to waltz into Target right as they were restocking them yesterday, so I snagged one, and I'm more than pleased with the pulls. Jirachi EX FA Dialga EX RA 2 Pokemon Catcher Suicune RH Silver Bangle RH Out of the 25 packs I've opened the past two days, I've somehow pulled 2 FA Jirachi...

    June 4th: Hypnotoxic Laser banned from the Professor Cup!

    Good thing I read about this before coming here, so I didn't get surprised like the others, lol. From my understanding, Whirlipede was almost the only deck played at the European Professor Cup. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the entire top cut consisted of nothing but Whirlipede...

    Pull rates for Plasma Freeze?

    Opened up another box today. Pulled a Life Dew, a Heatran EX, and a Deoxys EX, both regular art. If that Deoxys was anything other than that or a Thundurus...yeesh. I think I'm just going to buy singles for this set from now on, no more packs for me. I'm glad about Deoxys as it was the one EX I...

    Pull rates for Plasma Freeze?

    From what I've noticed, Plasma Freeze boxes have been wildly inconsistent. I've seen PokeCollection pull 3 full arts in a box, then 2 full arts and a shiny in another. I've then seen someone else on YT proceed to not pull any full arts, though they did pull a shiny Ultra Ball. My Plasma Freeze...

    2013-04-25 BWP65 Jigglypuff

    So you're telling me, for 1 energy of any kind, this little fella can knock out anything in the format? What is it with Jigglypuff and OP moves? First Super Smash Bros., now this. 10/10! Putting these overpriced, overpowered big basic EX's to shame! Oh wait...there's coin flips involved...

    2013-04-21 PLS Blastoise 137

    I feel obligated to comment on this card, of all cards, given that I've ran this deck ever sine getting back into competitive play around November. More often than not, its retreat cost is a plus, not a problem. With Black Kyurem EX in the deck, it becomes more viable to play Heavy Ball. since...

    Feedback on the Elite Trainer Box

    I thought it was a good start into providing some necessary tools for players. Providing a competition legal flip die, damage counter dice, energy cards, etc., is quite handy. Pros and cons from my perspective: Pros: - Provided several tools for players, including good quality poison and...

    2013-04-09 PLS Snorlax 101

    This card isn't really that great right now, but it's going to be much better upon Plasma Freeze's release. It can OHKO an EX with a full bench of Plasma Pokemon, which will be easier to do when Team Plasma's Poke Ball comes out. Its retreat cost is a pain, yes...but I can't imagine this being...

    Pulls from a Plasma Storm box today.

    The odds of getting a shiny are supposed to be 1 in every 2 boxes. So to get a shiny card at all, let alone Charizard, is fantastic. Out of the EX's you got, Cobalion and Lugia are two of the more expensive EX's in the set, so that's very nice. I'd say you had a really nice box, and I'd...

    2013-04-06 PLS Scramble Switch 129

    I absolutely love what this card can do. It can create some crafty combos with Max Potion, power up an attacker out of nowhere, and catch your opponent off guard. Since it's hard to predict just when it is coming, a well timed Scramble Switch can completely flip the game around. At worst, it's a...

    2013-04-03 PLS Black Kyurem EX 095

    I've ran two for a while and I've had a good amount of success with it. Its 180 HP keeps it away from the dreaded magic numbers of Darkrai, it can be searched out by Heavy Ball(also giving you another out to a Blastoise if necessary), and its weakness isn't a huge issue. The other dragon type...

    2013-03-29 PLS Cobalion EX 093/133

    Righteous Edge is a good way to deal some early damage and set up Steel Bullet KO's on non-EX's. For decks that utilize special energies, removing one can deliver a significant blow to the opponent's strategy as well. While the game is leaning more and more towards OHKO's, you'd be hard pressed...

    2013-03-27 PLS Klinklang 090

    Ah yes, this card...every time I open a set of Plasma Storm packs, I pull one of these. It's like a sign I should play it, or something. Maybe I should, Klinklang is one of my favorite Pokemon, haha. This card will not be going away any time soon, purely because EX's have and will continue to...

    2013-03-25 PLS Plasma Frigate 124

    Right now I'd say this card isn't all that useful, but that's because many decks don't use Plasma Energy. I like what this card does, I just question how effective it will be when the format is becoming more and more driven by OHKO's, regardless of weakness. I can't predict how the format will...

    Booster Box Pulls

    For Plasma Storm, you pulled all 3 ACE Specs, a shiny, and the two most sought after full arts from the set. I'd say that's almost as good as it gets! Getting the Black Kyurem EX is really good, too. I'd say those cards alone more than paid for the box. The Dragons Exalted box though...yikes...

    2013-03-20 PLS Conkeldurr 081

    With all of the poison running amok in the format right now, the concept of Facade isn't bad on paper, but it's lousy in practice. Seeing as the defending Pokemon will more than likely be an EX, I'd rather do 120 for 3 with Bouffalant, since that's a basic and doesn't require you to be poisoned...

    2013-03-22 PLS Hypnotoxic Laser 123

    Laser and Virbank has undoubtedly produced one of the most game-changing effects in the entire format. Let's not forget that the 25% chance of keeping an opponent asleep is important, too. This combo alone has made Keldeo EX useful in nearly every deck. Darkrai and Big Basics have become two of...

    2013-03-21 PLS Eviolite 122

    Eviolite is still a very solid card, the problem is that there are more ways to get around it these days. Tool Scrapper is seeing a rise in play thanks to Garbodor, Black Kyurem EX OHKO's everything even with Eviolite(excluding the Tornadus EX/Aspertia combo, but I don't see that much anymore)...

    Official PTCGO Bug Thread (Updated 3/7)

    In the same vein as the Charizard/Blastoise image fusion, my shiny Blastoise from Plasma Storm seems fused with the shiny Random Receiver. You can see the receiver with Professor Juniper in the picture, and a Pokeball symbol instead of the water symbol. I can also confirm Vablake's claim of the...
