[Pokémon TCG Pocket] The era of Gengar is coming!

Item: Trainers – Mysterious Candy
Choose 1 Stage 2 Pokémon from your hand and evolve it onto 1 of your basic Pokémon in play. (Cannot be used on your first turn or on Pokémon that just entered play.)
Illustration: Toytin Tutch
Items can be used any number of times during your turn.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It used to be a breeding house, but now is it candy?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Pokémon with a stage 2 evolution that have moves costing 2 energy or less seem quite interesting and I’m looking forward to it.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Currently, trainers have fewer means of access than Pokémon, and to be honest, I don’t understand.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Whether or not there is a frame, you can recover 80 HP in one turn with Lillie’s Potion.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

1 Evolution surpass?

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I want to use a non-EX Gengar in the second turn.

I don’t know if I can draw all the Gengar ghost candies by the second turn.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

A Garchomp that can freely use its 50 energy to fly seems quite interesting.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the time of Rampardos coming?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you exclude the intermediary, the accuracy of the search via communication will also increase, and it will depend on the candy.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shall we do Crobat…?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fastest Garchomp feels a bit insane.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The strength is being able to use the two-evolution move by skipping the intermediate stage, right?

Burn brightly, Charizard!

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rampardos is already strong at the stage of Gyarados, so I feel like it would be better to enhance other support and Trainer cards rather than inserting an ammo.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would be good if it evolved directly from the deck, but I don’t think requiring both candy and two evolutions in hand increases stability.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

But it’s a 20-card deck…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can fossils be given candy to evolve?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t candy a product…?

If you’re a trainer, isn’t it fine to be a caretaker!?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

The harassment of the fastest Spear is also nice!

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of stability, it’s like having an increase in first evolution stages that can’t be searched, and I think the stability will decrease instead.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can use two types of 2 evolutions and also use them as mutual utilization for intermediate cards.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can make it a breeding house, but the breeding house AR comes to disrupt the collection, and if it’s a trainer, it’s one card per turn.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

This will make Dragonite popular.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

The special version of Butterfree and Garchomp might also be surprising.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s tough to use 8 slots for 2 evolution lines and 2 candies.

If you exclude the intermediate evolution, there are only 6 cards.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the second turn, Goukazaru punches.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Those who are likely to benefit are probably those with strong traits or those with attacks that cost 2 energy or less.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s a card for spinning rather than stability.

The second evolution on the second turn is definitely a bug.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think I’ll continue to use basic EX cards since the hand consumption is intense and you need both candy and evolution.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the candy is at the bottom, we can only compete with the seeds.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it that candy evolves instead of skipping stages!?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

This will make Golem easier to use.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

While decks aiming for high variance are increasing, the reliable Seed EX still seems to be able to go its own way.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s concerning that both the currently strong 2-evolved Charizard and Magnezone have a bad matchup.

The compatibility with Mascarena is dramatic, but…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a card that can effectively be used as a 1 evolution for 2 evolutions, right?

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Should I replace both of the two intermediates with candy or leave one?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gokazaru dropping one Pokémon with Hikozaru → Moukazaru and having strong finishing moves isn’t such a huge advantage for fastest evolution, I don’t think.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

In the end, I feel like it will only become a card that increases unreasonable losing streaks and amplifies frustration.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I’ll never see my favorite Kameleo again for the rest of my life.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Pottai-shi no longer needed?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry that this is unrelated to evolution, but I wish I had realized the strength of Oripar much earlier…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

As expected, a card that searches for merchandise won’t come.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how they’re determining if this is a second evolution Pokémon.

For example, I would be convinced if it was written like “show a Pokémon that evolves from the basic Pokémon in play and put the Pokémon that evolves from the shown Pokémon on top of the basic Pokémon from your hand,” but can you prove it with the way it’s written in the thread image?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like Dragonite is coming forward without a plan, just like a young comedian!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

The era of Jibako may end before that of Giradak…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Jibacoil is dependent on the strong ability of Recoil.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Which Pokémon is strong with 2 evolution stages and 1 energy?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the era of Goukazaru is coming, so I started pulling from the Palkia pack today.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems likely that Nihao would call its friend (Mascarain) and then hit it with candy in a random fit of rage.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I would be happy if the fool could refrain from speaking.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

With this, even people who don’t have Bolt Charge Raikou can make it work with Jivako.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

How about a spear?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

On the second turn, Jaro-da and Sarnait are going to come out, huh…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

In short, the seed Pokémon doesn’t have the next evolution Pokémon written down, and the two-evolution Pokémon doesn’t have the previous evolution Pokémon written down, so this wording implies that you can evolve Bulbasaur into Charizard!

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Pokémon cards have a premise that you should know about Pokémon…

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The topic of whether there is no connection to binary evolution in the text has been discussed for a long time.

The conclusion is already clear because it’s Pokémon.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fastest Spear sounds fun.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I understand that you want to talk about how there’s no evolution route written on the card, but in reality, I don’t think anyone who actually plays cares about that since Pokémon battles are handled automatically.

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

People who are too nitpicky to the point that their reasoning becomes flawed are scary!

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

The strongest gene spear has the romance of being able to deal 70 damage on the second turn.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t seen the new Riza at all compared to the old one, but it seems like it’s about to make a comeback.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

With the existing deck, is Mascarainaspear the one that can be used most effectively?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Elreid and Spearow can be a significant threat if you use candies to make them the fastest.

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

As the moves to bypass the middle increase, it seems like I’ll end up storing the deck until I have both the candy and final evolution, so I feel like the red card could be effective.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

The non-EX Spear looks strong.

That guy has an incredible performance with 1 energy for 70.

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I was doing paper crafts, but the basic was throwing one evolution and one Amefuru.

I totally understand your question about how to reference it, but all I can say is to just understand it.

In TCG terminology, it refers to a special ruling.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

There might be a reason to include a single Energy Spear into Spear EX.

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The paper has a high bow, but over here… it’s like that.

I’m scared of not having a fixed search!

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

It still hurts to be hit while burning.

If we can leave early, the opponent probably won’t have their damage sources ready either.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s not theory, it’s just a fallacy.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

While 2-stage evolution with 1 energy is a hot topic, the option for 2-stage evolution with 2 energy in a late-game scenario also increases.

Blastoise… Can you do it…?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be good to decide whether to pull it out or not based on the intermediate strength.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Beginners are prohibited from posting responses here.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

For example, if it’s Ralts, does it have a 2x probability with Gardevoir and Gallade?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m happy that my Garchomp ex, which everyone used to mock as a degraded Lucario, seems to be making a comeback…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m going to pull for Mao-chan because she’s sexy, regardless of performance.

I wonder how the performance of full recovery and full energy trash is.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like knowing Grim Aloe from playing Pokémon cards but not knowing Aloe.

110: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I definitely want to aim for Tamagoro★★.

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

The issue of how to refer to binary evolution is something that has been continuously discussed among paper trainers, with varied opinions. So if it’s your first time encountering it, it’s understandable that such questions arise and that you’d want to talk about it.

It’s not a topic that warrants being criticized that strongly.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m playing with Gabumon EX, but after managing to take down two of them, I’m left with the problem of what to do about the last one.

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Well, those who only know Pokémon through Pokémon Go might be curious about other TCGs.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought this in Duel Masters too, but isn’t the digital card inflation too fast?

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, it might sound like a silly argument, but if you only look at what’s written here, doesn’t it seem like there might be a bug where Pichu can’t evolve into Raichu…?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will I be able to get out of the deck with Nyaroûde?

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I was surprised that the monster on the package has a second evolution since I didn’t know about Sun and Moon.

It’s not a legend about seeds, huh?

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pichu is a baby Pokémon, so it’s a bit different from the seed.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do we need a goods lock for Pokepoke?

If you’re not here, it’s fine to remove it, but for safety reasons, I had one in between on the paper.

The answer can only be found in the duel… within the battle.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there are often feelings of murderous intent from receiving a red card at the start.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I’ve heard about the problem of the paper goods being too bad, but it’s probably just my imagination.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, it means that Mars will continue to be strong!

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we’re talking about theories, pointing out the mistakes of the second evolution is not the responsibility of the one who violated, but rather the one who was violated.

There is absolutely no need to prove that Nyahoja’s second evolution is Mascarena.

The side pointing out the mistake is the one looking for evidence.

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think the first move 2T new Lizard is like a special victory.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Subomi is a strong card that is a regular at tournaments.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it not necessary to include this evolution card in the deck?

I don’t need the pot anymore.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

The barbaric act of fighting fossils is a bit too culturally different.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

“Will having two evolution types prepared for the Nid couple deck make it easier to use?”

I won’t use it even with the bonus because accidents are scary.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if this can’t be used for Pokémon that have evolved in that writing style.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can you evolve directly into Rampardos from a fossil?

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

This time, I want a goods search.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nidorino Nidorino Nidoran Nidoran

Nidorino can evolve from Nidoran with candy, which reduces accidents.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s the fastest new special victory for Reshiram, since it requires three specific cards and allows for the use of a Trainer, or rather Professor Oak, I feel like it’s fairly realistic to aim for it.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a possibility that the Fire-type Pokémon called Odoridori will disappear from the Liza deck.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s heavier than I expected since it’s based on the evolution and the combination with the candy…

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s a deck that doesn’t have about two types of 2-evolutions, I feel like it’s better not to reduce the number of single-evolution Pokémon.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Regarding Mascarene, it might be more stable without using candy since Nyaoha can search for it.

Is it stronger with both?

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Simply replacing one evolution can shorten it by one turn, so it’s strong, right?

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s simply that there is no effect other than that.

159: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think it’s strong when we have everything together, but the underlying issue hasn’t been resolved.

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

The stability hasn’t changed much because it’s just that the seed evolution has transformed into a candy evolution.

It’s a big advantage that I don’t have to put Pottaishi in my deck because it can evolve out.

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seed Pokémon come into your hand by themselves, so the issue will likely be whether there are any second evolutions in your hand.

If I operate like a simple type, it might be good to use strong dual-type Pokémon.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it okay to refer to something that isn’t written as information on either card between the seed and its second evolution?

165: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The problem is that I don’t have two Spear ex cards.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pottai-shi… Are you going to disappear?

167: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is that!? I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of deck recipes like that being created.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m concerned that just having the seed to replace evolution might not be enough, and we also need to draw the evolved form, so the downside of not getting it could have quite an impact.

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that accidents like bringing a stage 1 evolution through Pokémon communication will no longer happen…

171: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I wish you had attached it to Kasumi if the sentence in the lowest parentheses could be completed.

174: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the number of pre-releases for this game is small, there is a possibility that it includes a catalyst that can solve the lesser-known binary evolution problem.

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

Give me.

Give me.

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hold it for me, my hourglass.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

When the next batch comes, I’ll trade all the surplus Umitorio EX and Darkrai EX I have.

178: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re putting in 2 Charmander candies and 2 new Charizard EX for the professor, then…

It seems quite likely that I can use Liza EX on turn 2, but will it really happen?

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t all the effects of the new pack trainers a bit questionable?

182: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I thought it would be okay to give rain to fossils, but since fossils aren’t seed Pokémon, it’s not allowed.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will the ranked match Gira Lye decrease?

188: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I stuff a Jibacoil into the gap in the deck, will it make it more versatile?

I thought so, but that guy can’t be used without going through Magneton…

189: Japan Otaku Reviews

1 Give me the tools to bring evolution to my hand.

193: Japan Otaku Reviews

The new partner of the Lizard is not a Pokémon, but candy…

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too harsh that oysters cannot be used at all.

198: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Finally, I have to think about how to allocate communication, Nanjiro, and the thread images.

Dr. Monbo cannot escape.

199: Japan Otaku Reviews

The era of Machamp ex is here!

The era…

200: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a question of whether Rampar can draw all of the fossil candy Rampardos right from the beginning.

201: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if I can do 2-way evolution?

It’s risky to take both out in between, so let’s just go with one side as a treat.

202: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wooohhh! Here comes the fastest Serperior followed by Celebi!!

203: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the number of pre-release copies of this game is small, it’s possible that it contains a catalyst to solve the little-known binary evolution problem.

Discard one card from your hand to draw any Pokémon you like! This is it!

204: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the time of Shaitore, it seemed that single evolution decks were quite viable, but now that we’ve reached candies, I feel like we can remove the Poké Balls and add two Communication Nanajamo candies to really improve our performance.
