There has to be some kind of a draw back to that unown that does 20 to your opponents pokemon. a flip or auto KO or somthing because that would be way to broken. Trust me, we will not see an unown with that much power unless its an unown ex with 30 HP or somthing.
 
well, If you see your opponent getting typhlosion set up, just don't play a lot of benched pokemon. remember its not for your benched pokemon but your opponents. still looks good. Its just like the neo version!

Can we say, "TURN TWO TYPHLOSION"?!?!?!? I sense a new archtype in the works... crap!

I don't smell a new archEtype in the works. Typhlosion is too unstable. Meganium is nothing like the Neo version, neither is Phlosion. Gatr is more along the lines of Dark Gatr. Dark Gatr shut off Baby Powers, this Gatr shuts off powers and bodies. It's the most playable of the three, but none of them will really make a "Blaziken vs. the rest of Eon" impact.
 
Actully, Tex is very usable, for a 3rd turn, you could easily be set up, and using something like Magneton or Cargo really combines well with the power.
 
Oh, just realized that Feraligatr only turns off powers/bodies when it is in the Active position. That means you can still use Delcatty/Magneton/whatever when it is on the Bench, or even when it is a Croconaw in the active position. :)

I am so going to play it.

and...?

Just because he is on the bench doesnt mean his effectiveness decreases by any big number. It would actually be wiser to keep him on the bench, wait for your opponent to pull out some big guns, use Switch (unless your current active has a free retreat), and attack with his first move. 30 to the Active and 10 to the Benched as well as the other Defending Pokemon (in 2v2) Would prove to be very useful in draft and in constructed.

It is just like using EX: Deoxys Donphan, only more damage to the Defending Pokemon, more HP, adding the two letters "e" and "x", changing the pokemon type, and giving it an effective Poke-Power.
 
Gatrex gets pwnd by warp point/reversal.

Zero, the point of Gatrex is that you make your opponent totally useless during his/her turn. The main point of Gatrex isn't too attack(even if you need too). Switch to Pidgeot then after using your pokepowers retreat to Gatrex and attack, then your opponent will not be able to abuse DarkNite, DarkTrode, Pidgeot, Blaziken, and the list goes on.

Hence, you swarm with Fossils to prevent KOs :p

I understand that, but why not take advantage of the attacks for once? Every major deck that I see always has the Poke-Power evolutions as the support rather than the attackers when, in reality, they can prove to be very good attackers. Want proof?

Blaziken - Firestarter
Gardevoir - (insert name here because I forgot)
Dark Dragonite - Dark Trance

Gatr ex + 1 W + Boost = 70 + 10 more for every damage counter on the defending...

Somehow, I can see this attack being used twice without fearing that Gatr ex will be KO'ed during your opponent's next turn

Are you agreeing on the same thing? I think we are. >_<;;

Here's some other info I was gonig to counter Zero with but since the reread only agrees with him (I think):
If you get out Gatrex out fast enough it will slow your opponent down to the point where he won't be able to knock you out. Bex can't even knock it out in 2 turn, because the backup from Blaziken and TA Manectric will be gone. And waht's to say that by the time your opponent knocks him out that you won't have another one out waiting.

I hope because I have no intention to start an argument here...

Good to know that you re-read something before making judgements (and I still have to learn that...-_-)

Hence, you run 3 to 4 rare candies in the deck. Of course, that can easily get countered by ATM rock in no time. So, in a sense, you are at a stalemate with your opponent.
 
Im liking the Gatr, the first attack reminds me of AQ Steelix except doing 30 as base damage instead of 10 :)...The second attack is just too good though, hitting the the pokemon for 70 Plus 10 more damage for each counter on it. This makes this card a combo in itself obviously. I can't wait to see what happens when this card makes it into tournament play.

Hi people,

I agree with most of you all on Feraligator EX being the next big wave in the pokemon archetype and may even make it in Tier 1. This combined with Unown (with Hidden Power 20 to all) can do significant damage to most, if not, all pokemon (90 damage after Unown hidden powers) or one can have the option to use Feraligator EX's Tidal Wave. This card has sparked lots of controversy with its power, being able to block all powers and bodies is indeed very disruptive, im thinking this combo along with some anti lightnings will see game play. Typholosion EX on the other hand, is the complete opposite of Charizard Ex in terms of speed. This card has a smaller retreat (free with high pressure) and its attack can be powered up really quickly. It is based on speed. Meganium EX makes full use of Boost energy to score big hits with its attacks (1st turn 50 or 3rd turn 90+10 for poison) and for discard to poison opponents. It is a matter of opinion.

[G] Energy Powder
Search your deck for up to 2 basic energy cards and attach them to one of
your Pokemon (excluding Pokemon-ex). Shuffle your deck afterwards. (pokemonlabs.com)

Most of what Cephiro has said I agree with. Typx+HP System pwnd sirs.
