I Can't Believe Pokemon Reprinted This Tool Card...

[@toki7692]

I actually forgot that teras wouldn't be affected by Flygon's attack... That's so sad

[@shaggycrow]

Ya it might be better in a format that comes pass Tera pokemon maybe with ZA coming

[@GreenMonkeySam]

But what if we also get a 1-prizer with an Ability that shuts down the Terra effect? 👀

[@buendunsparce1422]

Don't worry, the designers probably did it as well

[@imaanlatios6790]

Yeah it's kinda silly 🤦‍♂️ and doesn't even 2 hit KO Fezandipiti without extra damage counters

[@themiarte1125]

​@@imaanlatios6790Imagine this attack on spread decks, or combine this with Alakazam baby. Looks pretty weak, but can be powerful

[@JordonVW]

Archaludon ex finally makes Adaman a useful supporter! Need to run a higher count of energy but with an early Adaman discarding two energy and getting 2 cards from your deck you can almost guarantee a turn 2 attack with 3 energy attached.

[@Siennarchist]

Duraludon honestly seems like it would be strongest as a support pokemon and an attacker in the Dialga Vstar deck

[@MiguelAngel-jz7vo]

yeah, its like a one time metang that assured to hit and has more HP and damage, although you give 2 prizes, it has even more hp than dialga, so it can work as a secondary attacker. On the other hand, it fixes dialga's problem: too many energies in the discard pile (and not finding any rod), or too many energies in hand. You can research a hand full of energies with no worries cause you can instantly attach them with arcaludon

[@MiguelAngel-jz7vo]

If thorns stays as a meta deck after that finals, i can see megaton blower being a nice way to counter it, you get rid of lost city, booster capsule and double turbo, hitting at least 2 cards among energies, tools and stadium seems like a good trade

[@Skyace13]

Flygon to do damage and switch out into Glimmora ex so my opponent only has 3 bench slots seems pretty good imo. Fighting type has been so bad for so long that glimmora ex has been irrelevant but with 8 bench spaces from stellar crown it’ll be good

[@jack0lantrn]

Its 3 am and the news is hot off the press

[@dariodinunzio]

Counter Gain could work with Kyurem: if the opponent has Colress's Tenacity in the discard pile, Kyurem's attack cost 1 colorless energy, but with the tool you could do it for free without discarding any energy. It is a bit situational, but still an option

[@PJHavok0688]

The Megaton Blower would be good against quad thorns. It’ll help get rid future booster capsule and their double turbo energies and/or legacy energy if they use that acespec

[@Mike-sp7zv]

I like helper bell a LOT. Item search will now be supporter search. Imagine if that was in the old inteleon item search line.

[@Surge7-hs63k]

Watched the TCG Livestream and I have to say that Iron Thorns deck did not deserve the win. That Miraidon deck was 13-0 up until that point which was outstanding!! Finally Archalodon gets an EX!!!!!!!! ALSO QUESTION, If a Flygon EX has a max belt attached will it then do 150 to all opponents EX's and V's??!

[@jrpgmaster336]

Active pokemon only

[@NyfeNyte]

that was a robbery. insane that they DQ him for that

[@derekjeter3654]

You are all in denial thinking that they robbed Ian and Fernando did not deserve the win. 1st you are so toxic that you re upset a non american person won worlds. Or 2nd you are denying the fact Ian blew it with that hand gesture and also denying the fact that Jesse lost in top 4 fair and square. Or 3rd you are completely trolling

[@Matttheweatherguy]

the art on the alolan exeggutor goin CRAZY

[@joshtyree7755]

I think counter gain can be good in Roaring Moon the drop from.3 eneegy to 2 energy to attack eariler cod make.rhe difference in winning and losing

[@althaboss3925]

Flygons 2nd attack would be good if it wasnt for the fact that pretty much all meta pokemon ex are tera.

[@Rain1]

Counter gain will be pretty good for certain control decks

[@ConnorKrohnicles]

Flagon sounds really good… if there weren’t so many TERA BENCH BARRIERS

[@Skyace13]

Yknow I really wanted iron hands to be able to amp me with one less energy required. Not a very relevant card, needs more options

[@rickydavey4927]

That ASpec can be pretty Broken against Quad Thorns too tbh 😅but Yh Lugia is finished for sure

[@Verse28]

Megaton blower vs average Lugia player 💀

[@candyflipping]

cant believe qthorns slipped its way to finals

[@Lucas.Gurgel3]

That was unfair

[@BanditTools]

Rather have Thorn than Lax. 💯

[@voldo123]

Slipped? Since the new set it has dominated online tourneys, I fully expected one to make top 8.

[@khaoskroc]

The megaton blower hurts thorns too :)

[@voldo123]

@@khaoskroc Yeah I'm not sure how strong it will be after Stellar Crown even, but it's great in this format.

[@phibeeps]

thanks for telling me little dark furry!

[@MosesHunnisett]

I really want there to be a good fighting type deck, but unfortunately Flygon ex sucks, which is really sad.

[@kazutomikata5105]

How about counter gain + dialga vstar power :))))

[@wasthatthebiteof8796]

Honestly I feel like Archaludon could be it's own deck. A faster, semi weaker version of zard.

[@kevinmcgiveney5128]

Does this sound like a good idea for an attack Archaludon Ex should have? Elitist Strike. 250 power. 5 metal energy. This attack costs 1 less metal energy for each of the following supporters in your discard pile with a different name: Poppy, Hassel, Amarys, and Drayton.

[@generalsmark1137]

Megaton blower will work into gardevoir to get rid of bravery charm and neutralisation zone.

[@NJCyberBird]

Just play vacuums at that point

[@generalsmark1137]

@@NJCyberBird agree but he said there was nothing else to use it for

[@shadowmasstitan344]

Lol 😂 makes sense that quad thorns was the top because it literally shuts down Charizard ex and regidrago vstar.

[@zacharyjackson7584]

Yep and Gardevoir and Lugia. While I never expected Lugia to be a great call for worlds apparently it was popular so it’s free wins day 1 to get to day 2 if they don’t play canceling cologne.

[@anonymus4683]

Iron Thorn also get rekt by the new ace spec

[@thedeanalex]

Megaton Blower going HARD against Quad Thorns EX...!

[@vesper2032]

Its going hard IN quad thorns

[@thedeanalex]

No Legacy Energy? 3 KO'd Thorns = game over? Nah bruh

[@BanditTools]

@@thedeanalex It’s gonna be funny when Thorn players start teching Genesect to stop all Ace Specs and it leaves people with a useless Spec. Some already include mimikyu already, they got room.

​@@BanditTools lol sure. Find a 1-of basic in a 60 deck with no Nest Balls and waste a Capsule on it, unless you also have room for other tools.

just a little bit of information that 60% of the ex pokemon are tera now and have a build in manaphy, flygon is pretty useless in that case😢😢😢

[@Alex-gw6ie]

how are you charging it?

[@derekjeter3654]

Sigh. Again I'm here revealing the truth to the reality denials about what happened in world with Ian. Listen dudes. Ian beat Fernando in top 8 and after that he made a very condescending and degrading hand gesture. Gestures that nobody has done in any tournament from pokemon or whatever. That is only done in private not in public. The reality is that judges were so degraded and gave Ian game loss due to gesture Ian did and gave the winning to Fernando. The reality is that Ian blew it and because of Ian blowing it Fernando won even though Ian beat Fernando. So the reality is that Fernando won because of Ian. Fernando defeated Jesse in top 4 very clean. It was a real, amazing, and entertaining match but the truth is that Jesse lost. You cannot change that no matter how bs you argue. And then Fernando won worlds and this is also a deserved match because he won fair and square and you can't also deny that. No matter how much you cry no matter how much you wanted Ian and Jesse battle each other. Im sorry but that was not the reality folks. That dream match btw jesse and Ian was not happening because of Ian being dumb. Guys just accept Ian screw it and move on. Keep being an Ian fanboy but don't deny reality.

[@AshutosJain]

Only if you're going second, so Prof's Research would be strictly better.

I regret giving away my hardcopy of counter gain since the sun and moon era. But the paradise dragona will have the reason to get this again

[@deificatom3332]

Duraldon with kirlias hyper arorma with rigid band radiant tsareena and steel labs is going to be such a fun bulky deck

[@qtAlexx_YT]

Waiting for lugia to tech in genesect. Other than thats its probably mid since alot of decks accelerate from the discard pile nowadays too

[@Exoticbutters-dz2kt]

3 counter gains and a crisis punch on a revaroom ex 😎

It's kinda sad to see how they aparently gave up with the balance of the game. I'd like to see any mechanic to couter Iron thorns ex, maybe a reprint of canceling cologne.

[@Shadow01974]

Cancelling cologne is still legal. People just dont play it.

[@tisha2932]

iron thorns has been in the game for years, it was called path to the peak. the deck just preyed on the ability centric meta which rose since path rotated

[@frameandi]

Flutter Mane also exists...

[@vesper2032]

Iron thorns doesn't need a counter lol its not that good

[@Rain1]

There are already counters, people just aren't playing them. Path to the peak existed in the format for quite some time, granted, yes, it was a stadium so it could be bumped with a stadium or vacuum (and sometimes an attack).

[@Lucas.Gurgel3]

you can’t play a semis if you lost quarters, that’s basic logic

Luckily counter gain only removes a colorless from attack costs. Kyurem is 2 water, 2 metal, and a colorless.
