Such a beast! Dragonite FB


Such a beast! Dragonite FB.

A Dragonite FB at a first glance, August 2009:

100 HP…

x2 Weakness to a popular type…

-20 Fighting resistance…

3 Retreat Cost…

and two expensive and unreliable attacks?

But hey! Take a really good and hard look at Dragonite FB’s “Mach Blow” attack.   It may be a really bad to start because of it’s many expensive attacks, unreliable weakness and retreat cost, however it could WORK because of two new cards released since the release of Supreme Victors.

Since there are MANY popular Pokemon-SP that usually have an average of 80 …

Bebe's Search Vs Pokemon Communication

Bebe's Search Vs Pokemon Communication

My name is Michael Tremere I am an old seasoned Pokemon player just getting back into the game on a full time basis, and now writing my first article. Along time ago when I played the game pretty much constantly a personal favorite card of mine was Pokemon Trader, a trainer card that allowed me to exchange or trade a basic or evolution card in my hand for a basic or evolution card from my deck. This card in itself for me made a lot …

Hippowdon LV. X - A Deeper Look at a Forgotten Card

Hippowdon LV. X - A Deeper Look at a Forgotten Card

When Rising Rivals came out back in May 2009, most of us just flocked to the cards like Nidoqueen, and Luxray GL LV. X, that were obviously viable and changed the way several decks were run (Gengar and Beedrill, to name a couple), and Flygon was established as the only non-SP deck to have been formed on a card out of Rising Rivals. But I seem to remember that there was another card that received almost as much hype as Flygon, in its own right.

Hippowdon …

Pokemon Card of the Day - Underground Expedition Rising Rivals RR 97

Pokemon Card of the Day - Underground Expedition Rising Rivals RR 97

When building a deck, everyone has their own personal preferences and style. Some like full consistency, others like to play more ‘greater risk, greater reward’ cards, but in general we all find that you sometimes just need to add Pokemon cards to your deck that will get you other cards as well that you can’t directly search for. We primarily go to supporting lines such as Claydol GE and Uxie LA that help out with their Poke-Powers, and prefer to dedicate our Supporters to direct …

Nidoqueen Rising Rivals RR 30 – Card of the Day

Nidoqueen Rising Rivals RR 30 - Card of the Day

Nidoqueen RR, a very sought after card especially during the RR Pre-release, became the topic of discussion to be included in many decks.  It’s Poke Body, Maternal Comfort, removes 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon, between turns.

Nidoqueen has become a favorite tech in many people’s decks.  Such a favorite that many people have retorted to teching in Dialga G Lv. X to stop Nidoqueen’s body from working.  Since it has 120 hp, bench sniping it will be hard to do unless heavy damage …

Luxray GL LV.X Rising Rivals RR 109 – Card of the Day

Luxray GL LV.X Rising Rivals RR 109 - Card of the Day

Luxray GL LV.X, in my opinion, is one of the most powerful Rising Rivals Pokemon cards. The ability to bring one of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon active using the Bright Look Pokemon Power with no drawback is awesome.

One of the most effective Pokemon to “gust” to the Active position and knock out is the opponent’s Baltoy or Claydol. Without Claydol helping to draw cards, the opponent will have a tough time making a comeback. If you have Skuntank G and a Stadium card …
