Hi guys, I was looking through the Boundaries Crossed scans and immediately noticed there was both Vileplume AND Bellossom. Decks which utilize dual evolutions (such as plox) have always been interesting strategically in my opinion, and I already had prior knowledge that the new Vileplume was particularly interesting. Bellossom's Grass Knot attack does the following:
[G] Grass Knot: 10+ damage. This attack does 20 more damage for each Energy required for the Defending Pokemon to retreat.
This attack immediately intrigued me, since EX Pokemon tend to have a hefty retreat cost, such as the new Landorus EX (3 retreat cost). Already, this attack is hitting 70 damage for a single energy. But can we make this even more? Of course we can.
The new Jellicent has the following ability:
"The Retreat Cost of each of your opponent's Pokemon in play is :colorless: more."
This ability can also stack. So for instance, if you have two on the bench, then Bellossom's Grass Knot is now hitting for 110 for a single energy. Combining Emolga as a starter, and this deck can set up quite nicely. A nice tech could be Keldeo EX in combination with Vileplume (You have the evolution line). Keldeo's attack requires colorless energy, so it can fit into this deck. With a x4 weakness, then Keldeo can wreck havoc on your opponent's Landorus EX.
What do you guys think?
