Pokémon TCG is Coming Back to its Greatest Era in 2025

[@fawfulmark2]

Best comparison for Budew is Trashalanche Garbodor since they both had Low Cost Attacks designed to punish Aggro decks that relied on burning through a ton of Items in a turn.

Refinement Kirlia rotating out tho so these other refinement effects may see some action

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

Zoroark was the OG btw

[@Ivan2Jura]

@@Patron714 yeah but also the BRS liepard he mentioned... I think the N and Hop cards will be op anyway, but I think most people will resort to something like dudunsparce and ofc fez for a draw engine for most decks

Hop choice band is pretty op

If brave blade were four energies It would be pretty bad

You have a great channel bro!!! Keep up the cool content!!!! 💯⭐

[@Original-Yellow]

This is going to be a divisive set. Hero cards feels weird for the pokemon identity. And the gx tag team era was not for me at all. But as always you gotta give it a try and maybe be surprised.

[@LightShady]

Nah man. Greatest era ever was 2005-2007.

[@Ivan2Jura]

I think the new cards are cool and especially that they're reusing cool abilities and mechanics which I think is important to maintain this wide and "balanced" meta (at least once AD...pardon, Drago is out) However I was hoping post rotation they tone it down a little and maybe power creep down a bit, but seems most of these cards will just be overpowered once again 😅 Like the Zoroark doesn't look so bad until you see all the N's csrds we're getting so far 🤦🏻 I'm interested to see if we really see more damage buffing in the upcoming meta as it's something very rare now but we have a bunch of trainers coming in with buffs (and also like 7 versions of the black belt card)

I only collect pokemon cards so i have no idea what a prize card is. Whll they come to pocket?

[@Sam-tl4ho]

nah i dont think, pocket has its own point system, and in my opinion its better

[@blobfish1649]

@@Sam-tl4ho better for a game that only has 20 cards, yes. For the normal TCG not having prize cards would be stupud

[@jamesfeng24]

@@blobfish1649the typical proposed alternatives are to have a point system with no prize cards (still needing 6 points to win & single prizers worth 1, 2-prizers worth 2) but I like needing to play around prizing certain resources, I would like prize cards being permanently face up purely to avoid the hassle of prize checking & more skill expression in when to take which prize cards for the next turn

[@Sam-tl4ho]

@@blobfish1649 doesnt tcg players hate prize cards too?

[@BasedTCG]

No, we just hate prizing good cards
