If you have a poliwrath out (no rare candies involved) doesn't i mean you you have all three, poliwrath, poliwag, poliwhirl

No, because they are not all in play. Just poliwrath is in play. That's where this combo is going to fall flat on its face.

Its actually not THAT hard but somewhat hard..

4 Pachy
4-3-2-3 Wrath/Toed

Then maybe a 2-2 claydol or some other tech

or...

4-2 Furret = Keen eye
4-3-2-3 Wrath/Toed = Main things
2-2 Slowking = Tech but helps search what you need

or something like that but you hopefully get the point...
 
Hold on... the translations on the Beach for Politoad said that it did +60 damage to any Active Pokemon. Dosen't that mean that Poliwrath's self-damage is also increased by 60? If so, then this combo went from being the best combo ever, to one of the worst combos (hit for 150, do 80 to yourself?).

AND, the translation on the Beach said that Politoad didn't get the bonus, so no, you don't get that 100/140 chance with Politoad if Wrath, Whirl and Wag are in play.

There is a big difference between the 2 translations posted.



What does the card really say, does it mention the full names like in the second translation?
Seeing the wording/translation I start to tend towards the first translation to be more correct.
More because of this, "done to your opponent's Active Pokemon", otherwise if any of them could do benchdamage it would also increase (and I don't think that's going to happen).

This is what the card's Body really says:

If you have [Politioed] [Poliwhirl] [Poliwrath] in play, attacks used by your [Politioed] [Poliwhirl] [Poliwrath] in play do 60 more damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon.


The are no commas and "and"s between the name of those Pokémon, they're just listed like that, that's why some people were confused and though the card writers meant "or". The Body does however clearly state that the +60 damage is only to the opponent's Active Pokémon.

So both translations you quoted are slightly incorrect, mine is correct and takes the correct part from each of the two.
 
Ewww... I hate that frog. That'll make me sounds like I am going to jump off a cliff.... :/
 
Polited wouldnt even be worth the setup,so many more cards that are so much better,its funny how yal want it to work,it mite,but I wouldnt hold my breath
 
Jirachi looks pretty awesome. Even with retreating and everything, you could use it combo with something that prevents retreating and trainers, or something like that.


The card I am really pumped for is Kyogre. From memory for (W)(W)(C) it does 60 damage + 20 to each benched Pokemon.


Empoleon/Kyogre FTW!!!


The only thing that annoys me is that it has 3 rc as opposed to 2 which would be a lot better with Mantine MT tech, but oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

Eskill, so Poliwag isn't mentioned?
So you need to have 3 out which includes Politoed (and not 4 as the former translations suggested) to use the effect. Big difference.

Thnx
 
Argh, mine isn't correct after all, then. I mixed the names Poliwag and Politoed, I always do. >_<

This is what the card's Body really really says:

If you have [Poliwag] [Poliwhirl] [Poliwrath] in play, attacks used by your [Poliwag] [Poliwhirl] [Poliwrath] in play do 60 more damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon.

(I have to learn that Politoed isn't the Basic's name)
 
So it's only added damage to the opponent's active pokemon? Because I was worrying for a bit about Poliwrath hitting himself for 20 and Politoed's body adding 60 to it.
 
Jirachi's not bad, for 0 energys, you can search your deck for any 1 card.
The 2nd attack not so bad either, you can OHKO anything, and, does switch/warp remove this effect?
 
Politoed isn't that bad, it can still do a possible 80 damage for 2 energy. Thats pretty good.
And Jirachi is a bad card, as your opponent can easily avoid the knock out, by evolving or retreating.
 
Why has nobody metioned vileplume and bellosum. I think these cards are really good. Vileplume has a chance to mess up your opponents trainer usage and it's power can be really enoying. Bellosom on the other hand has a helpful first attack and it's second attack I think makes the deck because it can do 120 for 2 which is very good late game plus poison. You can also play energy switch so you can abuse vileplumes power and just move the energy away. Magmortar may one shot bellosum but bellosum can one shot magmortar and magmortar takes longer to power up.
 
I know of lots cards that NO ONE has mentioned that are sooooooooooooo much better than the ones that are being over hyped right now.

Oh yeah well I know something you don't know!

Quit spamming. I haven't seen you post anything meaningful, ever.


On topic: My favorite cards from the DP5 spoilers are Lanturn and Tentacruel. It's a pretty obvious synergy so I'm not going to be like "ohh I see the next big SD buh buh buh" and not give any details. Basically you spread your opponents' energies out with the water type Lanturn early-game, pull energies out of your opponents' discard and place them on inconvenient pokemon mid-game, then clean up with a huge 30-damage spinning tail from the lightning type Lanturn late-game. And the spinning tail only costs 1 energy, so it's very spammable.

Oh and Marowak! He does infinity damage.
