Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Rizing RIvals: the unofficial hype thread

gallade G i like just because it's psychic. now it can hit machamp for weakness :). there are a TON of cool cards in this set though. shiftry, flygon. gallade, raichu GL, luxray GL, alakazam 4, the list goes on.
 
Okay, let's see what I like in the set

Roserade GL
Turtwig GL
Arcanine
Starmie
Vaporeon
Flareon
Raichu GL
Luxray GL
Jolteon
Every Rotom
Nidoking
Nidoqueen
Jirachi
Gastrodon (Both)
Glaceon
Leafeon
Hippowdon
Heracross 4
Vespiquen 4
Bronzong 4
Gliscor 4

Yeah, I <3 a lot of cards in this set, :)
 
I am quite interesting on how eveelution will do. Play the correct eveelution to gain advantage from defending's weakness in turn 2. Maybe can add lucario G since there is not fighting type eveelution and its power double weakness. Who cares dialga stop its body since its weakness is already x2 =p
 
For crying out loud, hype threads are crap, take a look at all the Platinum hype threads, almost none of the metagame guesses were accurate.
 
that is weird how bad FlyDon is... or how ignorant some people are.

I like any Flygon combo including scizor md, manectric, lucario la, hippowdon, groudon, regirock

NO WEAVILE!

Also, Gallade 4 looks to be promising.

Not only does Trapinch have a built-in energy-manipulating Poke-Power, Upper Energy will be coming out in the new set as well. Potentially, a Trapinch without any Energy can be charged up into a Flygon doing its second attack in the same turn this way, not to mention the possibility of cards like Energy Pickup. To me, this doesn't really constitute as "hogging" energy, especially when the attack is as good as it is.

I think PalkiaZam does look like a lot of fun though! I'm super-excited about Gallade Lv.X - it's already a favorite of mine.

If you bank on Trapinch, you have to keep your bench unevolved. Gengar will love to come up and pick up the scraps, and Flygon happens to have that Non-X-Hitting attack which requires evolutions on their bench. That is a delicate choice one needs to make. The way I see it, Flygon is very good - against decks banking on LV X's. I can't see it beating Machamp, Kingdra, Gengar and a few others.

But thats just how I see it. Time may prove me wrong.
 
How about 4 Energy Pickup? That *could* work. Also, Flygon will always be a set up deck, so why not Rotom MD? (Felicity not included)

You could Unown G it... and Mothim tech might work as well, so Flygon is pretty much a Gengar autowin.
Get 3 or 4 evolutions on the bench, do 90/100, then clear with Uxie.
