Pokemon Card of the Day #2617: Pokemon Breeder (Shining Legends)

Pokemon Breeder, in the Shining Legends set, was completely different than the Base Set card from 18 years before it. The new one was a Supporter, which had you draw 2 cards and heal 20 damage from your Active Pokemon. There were potentially some minor scenarios where pure stall decks might want to have that tiny bit of healing to help something survive an extra turn while getting cards in the process, but it really wasn’t very potent at doing either drawing or healing and probably wasn’t worth the use.

I love Pokémon cards. I like to see them on the internet without getting any packs. However, there is one problem that has been stuck in my head after Raging Surf: WHY WOULD THEY MAKE 6 "TAG TEAM" CARDS FOR PLUSLE AND MINUN???

As an average Minun enjoyer, idk what just happened... Maybe it's just some "tag team" earlier than Marshadow and Machamp or Mega Lopunny and Jigglypuff in 2019.

What doesn't make sense tho is that in 2021 they kept the "tag team" thingy to Plusle and Minub cards and make it like "rapid"? Now WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT??

#i am new here since 2019 so im sorry #i dont really know what the hell is a rapid strike but you get the point #rapid strike doesnt mean tag team ig #pokemon #pokemon cards #pokemon tcg #pokemon trading card game #plusle #minun #plusle and minun #shining legends #celestial storm #fusion strike #raging surf #im so confused #fangod writes #fangod gets confused #you can also explain to me in the reblogs or comments

Option 1: Zelda is an average teenager in a modern AU Hyrule. One day she accidentally awakens Link, a knight from medieval Hyrule who was magically sealed away a thousand years ago and thinks Zelda is the same Zelda he swore an oath to protect a millennia ago. Zelda has to help him adjust to modern life, and also evil has returned and they probably have to take care of that.

Option 2: Same as option 1 but flipped. Link is the average modern teenager who accidentally awakens a medieval Zelda who thinks Link is the same Link who was made her champion a millennia ago. Also evil has returned and they probably have to take care of that.

the crazy thing about the sages in totk and their connections to the champions in botw to me is this: if the events of totk had happened 100 years ago, the champions would have been the sages. they have the sages' powers passed down by blood, and their descendants use the same powers throughout the game. all of them are related to the sages--

except Revali.

he's just some guy!! all of the other champions have their powers because they're descendants of the sages. but Tulin is the sage of wind and to my knowledge he isn't related to Revali at all. revali is the only one that has no special powers, only his own skills. the fact that teba and tulin exist implies that the actual descendant of the sage of wind had to be present when the hylians came looking for a rito champion, and revali took that guy's job. Imagine having the power to literally control the wind but even w that you're just not fucking good enough to compete with Revali 'I have to be the best at everything or I'll go nuclear' of the Rito for the title of champion. if all of the champions had survived the calamity and were there to help Link in totk, they would all be the ones with the secret stones taking up the mantle of sage. except Revali, who would just be some guy still hanging around losing his mind bc for the second time in his life an actual child is being given a position that he thinks he's much better suited for. it's a good thing he didn't make it honestly I don't think he'd take it well.

#totk #totk spoilers #revali #botw #zelda #legend of zelda #i just think it's rly funny that everyone in this franchise #is doing what they do bc they're basically fulfilling their destiny and playing a role #zelda and link and even ganon locked in their eternal struggle #the sages bound to sacrifice themselves again and again to help the hero defeat the great evil #all stuck doing what they're destined to do #but in just this one instance #someone was stubborn enough and loud enough about being the right one for the job #about CHOOSING to fight #that he pushed destiny and bloodlines and powers out of the way and said nope!! my time to shine babey #he still beefed it obvs but I appreciate that level of fuckery #and I'm sure the real sage of wind was glad for the break

If someone told me in 2012 that I'd be back on this hellsite to howl about my blorbos in the year 2023 i would wonder what i'd done to deserve being trapped in limbo

Pokemon Card of the Day #2592: Raichu-GX (Shining Legends)

Raichu-GX was all about power. It had a stand-alone attack with a notable drawback and one that needed set-up but could be extremely strong with enough set-up. Lightning was a type with plenty of competition, as a Pokemon of the type had to stand out among a wide variety of choices as well as against Rayquaza-GX, which wasn’t Lightning-type but paired with them anyway. The strength here gave Raichu-GX a good chance, though the lack of extra perks did mean it would almost entirely rely on that to break through.

210 HP was good for a Stage 1 Pokemon-GX, being similar to most of its competition. It did have to look out a bit more than most, as Thunder did damage Raichu-GX when used and 180, while by no means frail, was starting to get in the range of strong boosted attacks and 150, if it got to that, wasn’t that reliable at all. The Fighting Weakness gave an opening to Lycanroc-GX and various other Pokemon of the type, with it mattering a lot in the BKT-On format and not nearly as much after the rotation to SUM-On. The Metal Resistance didn’t change too much, as nice as it was to see a Resistance when many Pokemon lacked one. Being able to retreat for just an Energy was quite nice as well.

Powerful Spark needed a lot of set-up to reach its potential, as the base damage was just 20 for 2 Colorless Energy. Each Lightning Energy attached to any of your Pokemon added 20. This could add up, and while it was hard to get up to numbers like 8 or more Energy in play, cards like Max Elixir, Pikachu & Zekrom-GX, Tapu Koko Prism Star, and Thunder Mountain Prism Star could certainly help get there. The other issue that, with all of the set-up needed, it was hard to outdo either Rayquaza-GX or Pikachu & Zekrom-GX as an attacker, with its chances better alongside the Tag Teams simply because Powerful Spark could technically reach even greater heights and Lightning had more support there.

Thunder did 160 damage for 2 Lightning and a Colorless Energy, which was very impressive. 30 damage to Raichu-GX was a pain as it made some damage numbers a lot easier to hit, though against some Pokemon you’d still be able to take a hit so it wasn’t completely going to destroy its bulk every time. You’d still need to be careful, especially in a potential Lightning-type mirror match as both Rayquaza-GX and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX could find ways to 180. The reliable damage came in handy rather often nonetheless.

The GX attack here, Voltail GX, did just 120 for 3 Energy, but also guaranteed Paralysis and had no drawback. There were probably better GX attacks in any deck you’d use Raichu-GX in even if the Paralysis could come in handy sometimes.

Raichu-GX was a strong attacker for a type that could provide it the Energy it needed, making it rather good. Lightning was also full of Pokemon to work with, with Pikachu & Zekrom-GX being mentioned for a reason here, being powerful and being able to help other Pokemon set up. The type also had Zapdos for single-Prize attacking, Zeraora-GX for free retreating, Jolteon-GX and Xurkitree-GX to wall certain things while still getting some damage off, and Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX which gave up an extra Prize but was generally a better alternative in this role. It’s amazing that Raichu-GX, which was functionally rather good, almost never made it into a deck, but that was the reality of being a Lightning-type. Being rather good wasn’t enough there, and it would take one more Raichu card to get to that point.

are there any pokemon fans with a special interest in geology or tectonics out there? for nerd reasons, i need to know how Mt. Coronet formed, what its vague characteristics might be, and generally what this implies for the geography of Sinnoh as a whole. thank you!

I can't believe I never noticed this before but Viktor making Jayce promise to destroy the Hexcore in episode 9 COMPLETELY recontextualizes their dynamic in the game lore. The idea that it's not just a feud over their pride/values but instead Jayce essentially being obligated to try and kill his best friend because Viktor told him to? I'm insane.
