I feel dumb. I dont understand the point of rare candy. You cant use it first turn, you cant use it on a Pokemon you played during your turn, and you still need the stage 2 Pokemon in your hand. So next turn you wouldve been able to play the stage 2 anyway. Or am I missing something?

The card makes it sound more complicated than it is, but in essence you can't use candy on a basic you laid down on the same turn. So next turn after laying the basic, if you have the stage 2 and candy in hand, you can evolve that basic straight to stage 2.

If you ever played the old Pokmon TCG for Game Boy game back in the day, its the same as the Pokmon Breeder card.

Lets say you have everything you need in hand/on the bench already - youd need 2 turns to evolve into stage 1 then 2, versus only needing 1 turn to use Rare Candy to go from basic to stage 2.

The speed can be really useful especially if youre evolving into something with a good Ability. Easy example, getting Gardevoir or Serperior out faster for support.

Ahhhhhhhh. Now I get it. My dumbass was thinking Basic was Stage 1. But its Basic, Stage 1, then Stage 2. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I feel silly.

But you can already evolve the basic to stage 2 on the next turn if you have the stage 2 in your hand. Im so confused. To me, it just sounds like regular evolution with extra steps.
I think you're missing the skipping stage 1 part.

Normal evolve: turn one basic>turn two stage 1>turn three stage 2

Rare candy evolve: turn 1 basic>turn 2 rare candy stage 2

Got my 4th crown card today (others are Charizard and 2 Dialga) from a 10 pull where 9 of the packs were garbage except the very first one.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1482d71b.jpg

But I always get lucky on the card I need the least, my first 2 packs from this set had a Solgaleo EX, so this will be my 3rd one. Looks like I have to make a Solgaleo deck now.

It's an electric staple probably, but unless the goal is to run down 30 turns to a draw, it has to attack sometime. Throwing in a deck with no electric energy seems silly.

Hes the head of Team Skull, basically the evil team of Sun and Moon (although there are other evil groups in the story). Theyre all basically dropouts from the island challenge (read: gym challenge) and he has personal beef with Prof. Kukui. Specializes in bug types (Golisopod is his signature Mon). General punk-rock chaotic bad dude.

Love it, this game is making me want to give those later generation Pokmon games a chance. I havent played since X/Y so Ive never even heard of the vast majority of Pokmon in this set.

I personally love Gen 7/Alola but I acknowledge that theyre pretty flawed games. If you can tolerate some of the hand-holding and linearity, I think theyre charming and have some great aesthetics/music, plus its the last time before dexit happened so every Pokmon up to that point can be used in those games.

Gen 9 is legitimately fun, not perfect by any means but definitely worth checking out.

Nice! Full art supporters are always so cool to
get.

I built a Beedrill deck and its seriously some of the most fun Ive had playing this game. Its a hard fight against fire decks, but it feels so fun to get Beedrill EX up in like two turns and start disrupting your opponents energy. Plus standard Beedrill is a nice flex to have in case of Oricorio or to sometimes snipe a low-HP basic early in a match with Rare Candy. Its crazy fun and feels very strategic, surprisingly bulky too combining Leaf Cape, Erika and Lillie.

I had yet another good pack this morning, making for three in a row where I got at least a two star from them. This afternoon's pack had nothing, though, so there goes the streak.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1409d1e2.jpg

On a different note, does anyone else have a Rampardos they could trade me? I've been thinking about giving it a try, but I see that it's blown up in popularity/usage now, judging from how many people are asking for it in the reddit trade megathread, and I traded my spare copy away a long time ago. Here's my current list of three diamond cards that I have three copies of, but I might be able to trade other ones if I have at least two copies of them and don't see myself using them in a deck:

Poliwrath (GA), Lapras (GA), Eelektross (GA), Machamp (GA), Volcarona (MI), Vaporeon (MI), Raichu (MI), Golem (MI), Marshadow (MI), Tauros (MI), Abomasnow (TL), Pawmot (SR), Alakazam (SR), Machamp (SR), Grafaiai (SR), Wigglytuff (SR)

Its now your calling.

Im having a hard time deciding what kind of deck to run. I have everything to make the meta Solgaleo/Skarmory deck, but Im having a lot of fun with Meowscarada/Tsareena or Beedrill, and I also have everything for electric Oricorio decks, but Im wondering if people are getting better at countering it. Any advice?
