I wanted to show all the cards I traded for at Collect-A-Con in Houston this year!! I had fun but I wish there were spots for individuals to trade, I only really traded with vendors (most of them were nice tho)
Tumblr media
Closer looks and nerdy explanations under the cut :)
So first of all I FINALLY HAVE THE GRUSHA CARDS
Tumblr media
I love him he’s definitely going next to my Gordie collection
Tumblr media
I picked up this beauty to go with my Mewtwo Vstar alt art from Crown Zenith I pulled. Ever since I found out about this promo I wanted it so they could be together and now I have them :)
Tumblr media
These guys went STRAIGHT into my kawayoo collection. I love kawayoo’s cards and finally getting some V’s and ex’s for it is nice
Tumblr media
Here’s the other V’s I got. The Vikavolt is for my main collection of completing the Pokédex through cards, the Ho-Oh is technically also for that (mostly wanted it to go with the Lugia V from Silver Tempest I pulled), and the Dark Sylveon is for fun, I think it’s a cute promo :)
Tumblr media
FINALLY got my hands on some GX’s. I missed out on the Sun and Moon card era as I wasn’t really into the cards then, despite Sun and Moon being my favorite gen
Tumblr media
And finally the trainer galleries and art rares. I’ve been wanting that Palafin since it came out and decided to just buy it since that’s the only card I wanted from Obsidian Flames. The Miraidon promo looks great with my Koraidon one. Flareon and Blue now complete my set of Blue and the Kanto Eeveelutions (they look wonderful together). The other trainer galleries were just general ones I wanted and they also look amazing :)
Overall I had fun trading cards! The first day was great for it but the second day vendors really tried to scam or rip me down (don’t even get me STARTED on the guy who wanted my two playable gold rares for a single card he was selling for $3). I hope I get to do more trades soon :)

Pokemon Card of the Day #2588: Entei-GX (Shining Legends)
Tumblr media
Fire was a type that had plenty of options. This was a type with Reshiram & Charizard-GX, Heatran-GX, Blacephalon-GX, and even Flareon-GX to work with, so getting a spot as an attacker wasn’t easy. Entei-GX wasn’t that strong, bringing just a good GX attack to the table. Said GX attack was one of the sort that could really change a game in spots, and the rest was just strong enough to maybe be a back-up, so it wasn’t hopeless for Entei-GX either.
180 HP was a number similar to the old Pokemon-EX, and it was high enough that it wasn’t that easy to KO in one hit. That being said, once the Tag Teams came out it wasn’t nearly as safe, especially with Pikachu & Zekrom-GX having Electropower access. With Fire being best in the SUM-On format that included those, Entei-GX was going to need to worry a little about that. The Water Weakness wasn’t too big of a deal by that point, though if trying it earlier before Greninja rotated out it could add some damage to make a KO much easier. Entei-GX also needed 2 Energy to retreat, making cards to help with switching after using the GX attack quite helpful.
Combustion was just 50 damage for a Fire and a Colorless Energy, which was not impressive at all with no actual effect to add on.
Fire Fang was better, though plenty of Pokemon did more than 100 for 3 Energy at this point. Burn was added, which could help with good luck. This was high enough to work as a marginal back-up attacker, but with Fire having so many big attacks it wasn’t needed.
Brave Burn GX was actually worth something. 2 Fire and a Colorless Energy was enough to do 150 damage to 1 of the opponent’s Pokemon. Big damage that could hit the Bench could be a huge deal, usually for hitting a weakened Pokemon that would give up multiple Prizes.
Entei-GX was rarely seen because it was only better than other Fire-types when considering Brave Burn GX. Everything else was just a worse Heatran-GX, a Pokemon that was a secondary attacker already. A single copy in a Fire deck was decent enough just for the chance at the big Bench hit, with the cost of a GX attack that might be useful from other sources. It wasn’t that important, but was certainly better than nothing, and at least there was a reason to think about Entei-GX in a Fire deck.
