[Pokémon] So this is what happened to the paper Pokémon cards…

Japan Otaku Reviews+

This is impossible.

2 Evolution. Cynthia’s Garchomp EX evolves from Cynthia’s Gabite. HP 330. Screw Dive 100. If you wish, draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. Ryu Nova Buster 260. Discard all Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness ×2. Resistance. Retreat cost.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a bit strong.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this level really being used in the second evolution?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

It is said that they are quite strong.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

This guy has a special item for Cynthia’s Pokémon, so it’s actually a bit stronger than this.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only need half the HP and power, so please import it to Pokepoke.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

It’s fine if the skill energy is only half.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it not bad because there’s a Shironabafu?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a Pokémon that boosts Cynthia’s Pokémon’s HP by 70 and deals damage to the opponent equal to the damage taken by Cynthia’s Pokémon, so if you don’t take it out in one hit, things will get pretty bad.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

With Shiron’s Roserade, the damage further accelerates, you know?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you really going to let me draw six cards as a bonus like that…?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>10

It seems like they have replaced the shining Gekkouga and Doronbekko that have fallen quite a bit…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Garchomp is great, but Gabite is really impressive.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since it’s not specified that I can only draw from my own deck, can I take cards from the opponent’s deck?

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

>>12

Don’t be high!

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

Like the recent trend of “Gon” and “Colony Drop”…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is Ryuuno?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

Dragon’s anger

Dragon Dance

Dragon’s Rage

Dragon’s Breath

Ryunobuster

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you halve the HP and power, it seems like you could still do quite well if it’s a bit weak.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

With just the draw effect, we can reach the top of the environment!

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Great.

Shirona’s Gabait HP100 Evolves from Shirona’s Fukamaru National Pokédex NO.0444 Burrow Pokémon Height: 1.4m Weight: 56.0kg Ability (Ability) King’s Call Can be used once during your turn.

Taira Akitsu sv9a 043/063 C ©2025 Pokémon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK Occasionally sheds its skin, its scales coming off. Medicine containing these ingredients revitalizes tired bodies.

Great.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

What’s impressive is that when it comes down to it, you can bring Gabu with your own effect and become an attacker immediately.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Is ‘Shirona’s’ a disadvantage effect? Like exclusivity with other trainers?”

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>19

Instead of being designated as a pre-evolution, you can receive support specified by the trainer, so there are pros and cons.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

It is a disadvantage, but the effectiveness is quite high, so I think the merits outweigh it.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want the ex Pokémon of trainers to have special processing like Terastal cards instead of the usual generic foil like regular ex cards…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

You should just buy the SR.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s broken, right?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

The trainers’ Pokémon passed through trash in the middle is really done for.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s strong, but you could say it’s broken only if you consider that everything around it is even more broken…

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>29

There are so many broken axes that the environment hasn’t become uniform; it’s in an incredible state right now…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

How much of a place do you have to be to not fit in with binary evolution?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

To the untrained eye, it looks like Blastoise and Gyarados are crazy.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s Mascarena, can it one-shot even with tools included?

If it's Mascarena, can it one-shot even with tools included?

Muskanya ex HP310 Ability Bouquet Magic: Once during your turn, if you discard 1 basic Energy card from your hand, you can use this ability.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the recent Pokémon card development has realized that having strong abilities in intermediate evolutions makes them stronger.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>34

Realizing it 20 years too late.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

Was the PokéPoké Recoil too much of a mutation?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

It’s weird that only one person is evolving in the middle stage like it’s the final version.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m going to use candy…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it hasn’t been long since the regulation change, the environment still hasn’t fully settled yet.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

If anything, just using the technique above to accelerate the draw, letting the opponent hit, and then escaping with Mirarige is still pretty strong.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

As long as there are Subomi, I have to evolve it strongly; otherwise, I won’t be able to compete properly…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s been five years since Jimereon was working on the underworld, so it’s not recent…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it really like that even in a paper environment?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

I think it will unanimously be considered the strongest in the next environment.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

This one seems relatively capable among the recent newcomers, but it’s definitely not overwhelmingly dominant.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

The environment isn’t stabilized, so Swablu and Milotic EX are going wild…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

This environment is so messed up!

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

The distribution was quite different from the official tournament last weekend and the prior environmental predictions.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think I can live off Gyarados and Garchomp for three years.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think Milotic ex will keep sticking around until Terastal Pokémon disappear.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the rival horse EX has over 300 HP, it won’t become a finisher.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>51

Since there are HP400 while pushing and 100+260 and 130+290, it should be fine no matter what.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>51

If I can bring out two Roserade, I can reach up to 320.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, no matter how broken something is, if you hit its weakness, a one-hit knockout is possible, so I like the way that balance is handled in Pokémon cards.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m pretty sure the latest version’s sister Hop can hit 330 with support included when it comes to the Pokémon species.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>53

They were highly rated in the pre-new expansion predictions, but now they are hardly seen at all and weren’t actually that strong.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

Didn’t we keep being asked what to do about the energy situation…?

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

The hop is stronger than the sea urchin.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was reminded that the F-Regulation cards were indeed crazy.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you can’t take it out in one hit, this guy will come flying at you.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

A deck that absolutely doesn’t want to take damage from EX with Milotic and Mimikyu can definitely be created for now.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

I feel like I might be swept away by the sudden appearance of a fighting Pokémon.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The era of battle Pokémon has arrived.

Mammoth has also won the city championship.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Milotic and Budew will likely continue to stick around, no matter how the environment changes in the future.

There’s almost no one who won’t be affected.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Is energy also included in the deck of paper Pokémon cards?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

Yes

There is no limit on the number of basic energy cards, so how far you go with energy is where the construction shines.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Dragapult that has been consistently setting up the environment is impressive.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just when I thought V was finally gone.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I can drop five cards, I can generally win, but I want to drop seven cards with Kasumi’s Gyarados…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mii-chan hates DraPaYoNoWa.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was surprised by how many top-level meta discussions there were at the recent CL Fukuoka.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

The meta is changing quite a bit since it’s now visible on the official City deck.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that the strongest is Totodile.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Right now, basic Pokémon are strong, but I like the environment where you can gradually evolve and grow your bench due to the strength of first evolutions, as it feels like Pokémon TCG.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, there are about 10 new Pokémon ex added in the new set, but in the end, it’s common for only 1 or 2 of them to actually be used.

Even if the Pokémon itself is strong, it often happens that the surrounding parts are weak and cannot fully demonstrate its specs.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I want to build it, but first, I wonder if I can buy the pack…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really funny that on the first day of the new expansion, Milokaros was environment-raped.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wondered why the first evolution got stronger, but since the bench bullying is so severe now, I guess it might be because there are too many situations where it can’t do its job once it evolves for the first time.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

Since it’s become harder to evolve with candy, being weak at one evolution means it stays weak.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m surprised that even after being refined, Gardevoir can still be used.

The system has weakened, and stability has certainly decreased, but the people who noticed that the attackers themselves are unscathed and can still perform well after the new regulations are impressive.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The newly implemented Gab in PokéPoké was also a draw-type.

It seems like the selling point is not just being a muscle-bound brute, but rather having a slick, smooth approach.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only know up to the old ex, so it looks like a different game.

Back then, there were some who could deal 200 damage, but it was quite heavy.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a Mach Pokémon that zooms through the skies, so I can’t help but think that draw acceleration is somehow related to that.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

I was thinking something simple, like it was because my support, Shirona, has an effect that lets me draw 6 cards.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, I’m looking forward to Metagross’s future.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hate creating a slightly themed collection for Pokémon cards and then immediately abandoning it.

Before you create new Pokémon for the new trainer, first increase the ones you’ve already released with battle partners.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

In other words, it’s probably just a bridging period until we can release the ZA-themed one.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Pokémon Masters will also get exciting with this trend…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Birds and fast Pokémon tend to cycle through draw and hand reset effects.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hibiki is strong, but Pepper is uncertain.

No matter how much you’ve recovered, 270 is an easy hit.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

Does our Milotic ex have a way to get through?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

Why are we talking about Milotic when we’re discussing dogs?

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I miss Ryu no Blade.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

If anything, there’s even Draco.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are few Lillie support cards, but is that it…?

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought we were passionately holding hands in Pokémon Card Game, but it was just a casual play…?

I can’t believe it…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

Please use the “negoto” in a sleeping state.

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

What’s amazing is that there’s a proper concept of rotation, and this is the result of inflation.

Players are too burnt out.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

Aren’t all TCGs experiencing inflation even with rotation?

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

Even if the standard gradually decreases, if you suddenly impose deflation, only that part will stop being used, and in the end, inflation will occur even with the standard.

Those who do too well will return with a revised version, so I don’t think it will be that extreme.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Originally, the card Garchomp is known for its speed.

There are a lot of escape energy 0.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Garchomp is popular and will appear even without anything special…

Well, it’s a timing where it wouldn’t be strange if the BW remake is announced next week.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

They’re not going to do a BW remake yet for handling Kalos in ZA.

Game Freak has two lines of production, so it would be reasonable to think they are making the 10th generation.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

2 evolution needs either a ridiculously strong move or an overpowered ability…

Wow, that’s just too strong… with Charizard and Dragapult sticking around forever.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the line doesn’t change even after resetting, then there’s no point in cutting it.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

When the card pool expands, unintended combos can arise separately from inflation, so it has its significance.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

It’s meaningful because it’s different.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m placing Dragapult behind Mamoswine.

Isn’t Dronchi’s reconnaissance directive too much? Is this really okay?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

The numbers written on HP and techniques are just increasing, but Pokémon cards have basically been in deflation for nearly 10 years.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like the change in the stan drop is more due to sweeping the system Pokémon rather than the damage of the moves…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

The hole left by the removal of the F Registan has made the common lubricating oil cards way too big…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be good to take a look since Extra and Stan are playing quite different games.

Is there really no one doing extra? That’s true.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

No matter what crazy broken card comes out, I can endure it if I think it will drop frequently.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only play casually with friends, but Nanjamou’s deck is fun… I can draw a lot in Taikaiden.

It’s unfortunate that in the end, it will come down to just hitting with Raiko.

If possible, I wanted to battle with something like Voltorb or Houndoom.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I know that Gyarados is strong.

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

After playing PokéPoké, looking at the current paper Pokémon cards makes me feel like I’m watching the inflation of Yu-Gi-Oh.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>116

I’m surprised that the speed of inflation in PokéPoké is quite extreme.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

I’m still fine because I can still manage with Pikachu, Starmie, and Nassy.

I wrote that, but it hasn’t been long since the service started…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a world of difference in the gaming feel between Side 3 and 6.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if we’re just talking about numbers, I can still keep up with VMAX.

Looking at Tag GX now, it really feels like the health and damage are quite low.

Although VMAX loses overall when considering the fact that it flies three side cards.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although Kirikizan and others are designed with performance as their final evolution from the first evolution.

By the time Dodugezan arrives, it seems that having this level of combat power at intermediate evolution will be the norm.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to be able to build a deck strong enough to compete at a certain level, rather than just collecting various trainers’ cards.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Pokepoke’s Akagi pretty much like a boss’s command?

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since Poke Poke is a first-to-three points game, you can’t take your time playing.

It’s necessary to speed up inflation in order to let us enjoy on our smartphones smoothly.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it better than the VMAX environment because seed Pokémon also have their proper roles.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the strategy of using the initial EX as a wall to escape has become more difficult because of Akagi.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to gacha with the Kasumi deck, but I wonder how much power it will have.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

The picture of Shiro na that looks like a producer’s label is amusing.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>129

What year is that passport photo from?

130: Japan Otaku Reviews
