Ignoring Kamala parallels. wtf is up with 100HP? Has Pokémon TCG experienced major power creep?

Yes. I played in a tournament recently and wasn't aware of how insane everyone's decks would be. Functional with a gimmick does not compare to having half your deck pass through your hand by turn 4. This card is not playable at all in any context If your deck can't deal with this in some way shape or form (even a mickey mouse cobbled together answer) don't even bother trying

Damn the OG Charizard had like 120 HP.

Some collector needs to make a deck entirely of this Pokémon Center _____'s Pikachu and just spam the Happy Birthday move

(I'm aware it's oversized and therefore not competition legal. It's still the funniest card IMHO)

Yeah, it sucks. I was interested in getting back to playing the actual card game but this stuff puts me well off.

Reject cardboard, embrace Pokémon TCG for the Game Boy Color (and its sequel with an English translation patch)

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 1 points 44 minutes ago

Hell yeah. I actually still own that game from when I was babeh

To be fair there's plenty of stuff like this that can deal with a lot of junk

I was playing the Charizard deck online and came up against this, I had to fuck around with trainer cards to get my one Charmeleon to deal with it lol

Aegislash from paradox rift is a good option too if you're building a steel deck can buddy-buddy for honedge and rare candy it

Power creep is a pretty safe bet
