New Trashalanche, despite the damage increase, ignores Tool cards, which used to be considered Items.

In additional, Garbodor was so powerful in the context of being played alongside Garbotoxin Garbodor.

I dont expect Tirtouga to be very strong

[Jake Gearhart @gearhartpkmn]

Old Trashalanche came in to clean up a garbage format where every deck played insane numbers of Items.

New Trashalanche exists in a format already thoroughly pollinated with lots of wonderful Supporter cards. Hopefully the oceans stay clean so Tirtouga never gets angry.

The ultra beasts cards in pocket have attack names named after genres of music? I've seen Grindcore and Shoegaze so far lol

@Rhyperior111 shh don't spoil future posts

Many cards from Furious Fists have artworks featuring the Mountain Ring Stadium card

@WashedNikola by the time these decks come out, a lot of the cards are rotated anyway. They are meant to be enjoyed separately, not as pieces to build a meta deck

World Championship Deck Error:

The 2024 World Championship decks feature Basic Energy that wouldn't have been released internationally at the time of the 2024 World Championship event

@WashedNikola Is $15 Fezandipiti ex on top of all the other cards not good enough?

[Roseanne's Research - Pokémon TCG Trivia @RoseannesSearch]

@WashedNikola There's plenty of high value cards in these decks. Making these tournament legal would also completely evade the point of them which is to keep them together and play them against one another to experience what it was like to play that Worlds format

@SamX9000 ?????

[Roseanne's Research - Pokémon TCG Trivia @RoseannesSearch]

@Danny_W_Dowling That was just the case of cards not using E-reader borders anymore. There is no function of adding the E-reader border, so it made sense to get rid of them

[Roseanne's Research - Pokémon TCG Trivia @RoseannesSearch]

@TotiTotiToti It's crazy how much they changed them this year. Some of the changes are nice, but could they have waited another year until all the borders weren't yellow anymore 😭

[Roseanne's Research - Pokémon TCG Trivia @RoseannesSearch]

These decks are also the first ever World Championship decks to do away with the iconic silver borders for borders that match the original cards.

@gearhartpkmn I really like attacks with opponent recoil, but it feels like they don't like use them often

[Roseanne's Research - Pokémon TCG Trivia @RoseannesSearch]

First Chingling card in 16 years!

@Celios_Network Sorry to hear that. It's great that you were able to spend a large portion of your life with her. Rest in peace.
