Strangely enough, my favorite card from this new set is Gyarados. This is for the ultimate cheapskate in all of us. The card is uncommon, has a better attack than Wailord (80, no resistance applied) and has very good HP for a s1 (100). That with a decent retreat and Water Call Swampert make this guy the main attacker of the Modified Raindance deck.
Others that I like:
Rayquaza ex: OK, it isn't all that great in constructed play, but in Limited, it ownz. I only got it out once, and it cleaned my opponent out of about 3 prizes. And, no, it will not replace Eggy in Blaziken decks because Eggy can take energies from ANY Pokemon that you have, not just your active, and Blaze only puts the NRG onto a benched Pokemon.
Briney: One of the better trainers in Modified, IMO. combine the good qualities of Mr. Fuji and Super Scoop, and you get this card. Better in Limited than Constructed, but can be used in both places.
Kingdra ex: The good old KingdraCenter combo is gone, but PokeNurse almost makes up for it. The two new Seadras also make for good combo cards (one doing straight bench damage).
Cards that I respect (but hate):
Cargo ex: Reincarnation of one of the greatest deck threats of all time, now packing more HP and a secondary attack. Without Entei, tho, it's pretty useless.
