We lined the announcement of the Fantastical Parade set coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket lately, however now it’s out. And normally, I choose to not double up on articles for vaguely the identical story, however that is completely different. As a result of, in addition to one or two playing cards, it’s simply such an underwhelming set in my eyes.
My eye was instantly drawn to Teal Masks Ogerpon ex, purely for its Means. Any Pokémon with Power hooked up get well from, and might’t be affected by, Particular Situations. It has a garbage transfer, however I’d contemplate a bench spot for them. There may be additionally Alolan Ninetales ex, which, as a Stage 1, can cease enemies from taking Power from the Power Zone, which is fairly enjoyable for a Flip 2 or 3 transfer.
Then it goes downhill for me.
Fantasical Parade? Extra like…lacklustical…parade…
Persevering with the development of disappointing Megas, Mega Swampert ex is right here. They’re a Stage 2 whose three Power assault discards 2 random Power from all Pokemon on the sphere, together with your foes. So that you would possibly shoot your self within the foot. Even the poster little one for the growth, Mega Gardevoir ex, isn’t that good. They’re a Stage 2 ramp, and if you’re solely organising your area after 2 evolutions, you’ve already misplaced.
I really feel like The Pokémon Firm doesn’t have the steadiness for Mega Pokémon proper but. I perceive they will’t be uber highly effective, however then don’t make them price 3 factors. You knock out a Mega, and also you win the sport. There hasn’t been one I’m prepared to threat that on but. Having mentioned that, I really feel like that is an underwhelming set.
I would be the first to confess, I’m not nice at this sport. I prefer to construct decks that I like over “good” ones. So maybe that is the best set of all time, however even taking a look at Trainers and Objects, I don’t see it. Perhaps Protecting Poncho to forestall Bench sniping, or Alolan Muk to neutralise Fundamental Pokémon’s Talents, however that is all.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is offered to obtain from the App Retailer and Google Play.
