Alright, let’s dive into this with a different spin. Here we go, off the cuff, and kinda messy:
—
So, okay… weirdly enough, the new Pokemon TCG Pocket thingy – Wisdom of Sea and Sky, or whatever – just hit the shelves. But, here’s the kicker, it’s wrapped up in this totally bizarre plagiarism storm ’cause, like, they accidentally swiped some fan art for the Ho-Oh Ex and Lugia Ex cards. Seriously, not joking. But hey, life goes on, right? The A4 set? Yeah, it’s got some rad new cards. Perfect for collectors or, you know, if you’re looking to whip up a new killer deck.
Anyway, there’s this buzzing new deck using Umbreon Ex. It’s like, one of the big shots. Along with Greninja from the Genetic Apex set. That guy damages rivals all over the place, even the poor fellas just chillin’ on the bench. Wabam! This deck’s popping up everywhere in battles post-A4’s drop. It’s like a game-changer or something.
Oh, and those expansions, right? Usually, they swing in with a couple of booster packs. Except when they don’t? Like with the Genetic Apex set, which had a whopping three. Fancy, huh? But yeah, Wisdom of Sea and Sky just offers two. One’s for Ho-Oh and the other for Lugia. Honestly, out of the two, Ho-Oh’s the one raking in the points.
Now — hang on a second — backtrack. So why split these cards up in packs anyway? I suppose it’s like those games where you’ve got game-specific creatures. This Ho-Oh pack’s got some hefty Ex cards that are big in competitions. Meanwhile, the Lugia pack… Eh. It has Lugia Ex, Espeon Ex, and a bunch of cards that are, let’s say, less spectacular.
That Lugia pack does come with a neat Pichu card though! You wouldn’t believe how it syncs up with Lugia Ex and Dragonite Ex from Eevee Grove. Surprisingly cool. Plus, there’s this Elemental Switch card, super popular, and Lyra, a Supporter that’s unlocking all these deck options. Kinda neat, kinda fun.
Sidebar: that Will and Xatu combo? Exclusive to Lugia’s pack. Sweet tricks but not much else for Ex cards. Like, look at this list:
– Shuckle Ex
– Kingdra Ex
– Lanturn Ex
– Espeon Ex
– Lugia Ex
Honestly, Lugia Ex isn’t all that in the game. Needs three energy types, super annoying. Espeon Ex? Perhaps useful if you’re doing an Eeveelution combo. Otherwise… meh.
Okay, flipping to Ho-Oh’s pack now. Crobat Ex, Umbreon Ex, Donphan Ex, Ho-Oh Ex, and Skarmory Ex. Just all-around better cards, you know? By a landslide. Plus, cool stuff like Magby and Zubat, and even Silver changing up opponent’s hands. Crazy, right?
In a nutshell (because I’m rambling), Ho-Oh packs are the way to go this time around. Lugia’s pack? Ehh. Swing and a miss, except a couple of blips. So, yeah — if you gotta pick, go Ho-Oh.
Weird how it works out sometimes, huh?
