Great video. As said in the teams are really cool for anything outside of gameplay. Great art interesting attacks etc. Unfortunately it compounded alot of the issues present in modern ptcg with even faster bulkier and more impactful basics.

Tag team pokemon removed a lot of setup time and basically made evolution pokemon invalid in the active spot. A stage 2 pokemon GX would have less hp, and worse attacks than a basic you could just drop on the field from your hand. They also made disruption strategies much harder since you frequently needed just a basic pokemon and 2-3 energy to win the game.

I love how random a lot of the Tag Teams are. Like, why is Machamp hanging out with Marshadow? Or Garchomp and Giratina?
@aronspiker7212 сағат бұрын
Garchamp and Giratina are a reference to Cynthia, while machamp and Marshadow have somewhat similar fighting styles, and in gen 8, would be further related to themes of "chi" due to GMax Machamp (I kinda just pulled that second explanation out of thin air)
@gligarguy401011 сағат бұрын
@@aronspiker72 Yeah...that's a stretch. The only time I can think of Cynthia ever controlling a Giratina is Masters (which happened years after the Tag Team cards). And I have no idea what you're trying to say for the other one.
@aronspiker7211 сағат бұрын
@gligarguy4010 I more meant that Cynthia is heavily associated with pokemon platinum, and therefore Giratina, which was solidified later with Volo, so while at the time it might have not made too much sense, nowadays Giratina being paired with Garchomp is more reasonable than you'd think

Venusaur is always winning. Even in Pocket, the only thing that *_can_* OHKO it is Charizard. Nothing else can and you better hope they're only running Erika/Gardenia and Potions, because that pushes Venusaur EX from 190 HP to 330 EHP. Once some more Stage 2 Support is added (Ultraball and/or Pokemon Breeder), Venusaur can possibly get stronger, allowing it to more reliably get Butterfree in play, having the same Heal 20 Power as Shaymin, pushing Venusaur to, EHP 350+.
@BurtsPTCG22 сағат бұрын
Can it one Shot Charizard? 👀 What have I missed 😭
@MartyrPandaGaming18 сағат бұрын
@@BurtsPTCG No. Not an OHKO. Always a 2-shot. The Zard will always have the advantage, unless it bricks, but you can get it close to a 50/50 every game. Being able to give up 2 points to prep Venusaur *_and_* catching the Zard on 2 or fewer energy is the ideal position, because there is nothing that can burn through Venusaur's HP fast enough after that. It's difficult to get enough resources to put on a second Zard, unless you risk sacking your Moltres Ex on 3 or 4 Inferno Dance's.

As a casual tcg player at the time, I loved the tag team era before Zacian ADP took over the game. I love how much support so many of the types had, like lightning with thunder mountain, tapu koko prism, ect or fire with welder, heat factory, ect. It made those decks feel super consistent and easy to play as a beginner

WHAT?! I loved Tag Team so much! I felt like tag team and GX was such a fun time to be playing and it actually got me more excited to go to events again. I was always a casual player, but I regularly played from eCard onward. I had been getting cards since base when I was 13 but I didn't really learn to play into after Neo when I started going to my LGS more often. Man it's sad to hear people disliked tag team because I hadn't felt that happy about a new feature in the TCG since Supporters became a thing.
