Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Delta Gyarados: Delta Reactor

It only adds 10 damage (up to the damage of the attack from a Delta Pokemon) if you have a HOLON stadium in play.

What you guys want is to stack the body and I don't believe that is going to happen.
LOL, so if you have 4 Nidokings in play, you would say when a Nidorina does damage you would this.

Nidorina does 20
than King 1 adds 10 for each King so +40 (power gene 1 used)
than King 2 adds 10 for each King so another +40 (power gene 2 used)
thank King 3 adds 10 for each King so another + 40 (power gene 3 used)
same with King 4 + 40 (power gene 4 used)

LOL

A total of 180 damage.
Because that is how you are stacking the body, which is not the way it goes.

It's not about the amount of delta Pokemon in play. It's the amount of delta Gyarados in play, since the effect in question is its Poke-BODY. Having so many in play would have that many copies of the Poke-BODY in play, which is why it is cumulative.

The combo you ask for: Active Exeggutor, Benched Golduck and 4 Gyarados, Holon stadium. Delta Circle does 110 damage. (10 + 60 (6 delta Pokemon in play) + 40 (4 Delta Reactor Poke-BODYs))

which is why u are wrong.
and for the record Nidoking says: "as long as Nidoking is in play" so it refers to itself
 
Gyrados 1 checks for a Holon Stadium. If there is one, it adds +10 more damage to your active PKMN's attack.

Gyrados 2 checks for a Holon Stadium. If there is one, it adds +10 more damage to your active PKMN's attack.

Gyrados 3 checks for a Holon Stadium. If there is one, it adds +10 more damage to your active PKMN's attack.

Gyrados 4 checks for a Holon Stadium. If there is one, it adds +10 more damage to your active PKMN's attack.

That's +40 damage. I don't see what the big debate is about.

Sure like Nidoking uses gene Power this way:
Nidorina does 20
than King 1 adds 10 for each King so +40 (power gene 1 used)
than King 2 adds 10 for each King so another +40 (power gene 2 used)
thank King 3 adds 10 for each King so another + 40 (power gene 3 used)
same with King 4 + 40 (power gene 4 used)
 
Rainbowgym - HUH?!? I don't get how you're interpreting this wrong, so I will try to explain this...

Each Gyarados adds 10 and only 10 damage. If you have 3 Gyarados (and a Holon stadium) in play, your Magikarp can attack for 40. That's 10 damage, and only 10 damage for EACH Gyarados.


Gyarados' power is virtually identical to Nidokings.

Exactly, except instead of looking to see if a Holon Stadium is in play, he checks to make sure himself is in play:lol:
 
We will wait and see, Because if that happens I will play Nidoking.

If you can stack delta reactor, you can also stack gene power, which is much more interesting.

tomorrow I will find some more examples, there must be more if this strange way of treating body's is true.

How is it interesting?

Nidoking 1 checks if it's in play. If it is, it adds +10 more damage to your active Nido-'s attack.

Nidoking 2 checks if it's in play. If it is, it adds +10 more damage to your active Nido-'s attack.

Nidoking 3 checks if it's in play. If it is, it adds +10 more damage to your active Nido-'s attack.

Nidoking 4 checks if it's in play. If it is, it adds +10 more damage to your active Nido-'s attack.

Seems the same to me...

I think were I meaby make a translation/understanding mistake.
It's like for every Nidoking in play you add 10 damage, which is different from what it says above.

but I have to think about checking each body separate, there must be more cards stackable that way?
 
Hmmmm....Other cumulative bodies...

Well, there's Dark Muk (in 2-on-2), And FRLG Dodrio, And Wobbuffets Stages Of Evolution...


Cumulative Bodies obviously exist, but they are not very common, because most bodes a) Grant an effect to the entire field, making mulitiples redundant, b) Only work while active, or c) Specifically state that only 1 works at a time (like Dark Ampharos).
 
Dark Ampharos, yes that one also confused me when it was released.

Has to do with the way I translate and sometimes I do understand it wrong.
So each body is checked separate for the Gyarados?

I just realize that is the same as with wobbuffet's body.
I also realized I explained the Nidoking wrong to my players. (however the additional damage would be the same as if I did explained it correct)

sorry for the confusion i did put anybody in, this is what happens sometimes when you use a kind of "shortcut" to translate/explain cards in a different language.


So the exeg/psyduck/gyarados combi really does a lot of additional damage (at least if you get 3-4 gyarados benched?

Ehh. If you have max bench, all delta, and four of them gyarados, that's 110 damage. It's only for 2 energy, but considering the setup, it doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

In fact, that fifth bench will have to be a golduck. So it's even more specific, but at least you won't be stump;d.

Edit: And, uh, are we clear on the effects of multiple gyarados yet? Or is there need for further clarification?

with Mightyena its 100+possible metal and dark, if both, 110 and block 10, my theory:Mightyena>Exegutor.
Rainbowgym:you ARE the bigger WOMAN

No ZaktheGeek I think I got it now, sometimes I just need more time and explanation to understand.
Tonight I realized were and how I make a thinking/translation mistake and I took an hour to check all Pokemon with Body's to see if there are more cards I have to re-explain to my players.
But it's only Nidoking and this one I have to do.

Ignatious- I don't mind to say sorry when I am wrong. My way to handle body's simply was not the correct way. I don't know how I got to that way of thinking.

p.s. I am female
