no, but really
- Dave Enzo
  
  yea but Lost gar only ended up failing because it was all about lost zone and was a stage 2.. this is a powerful Basic that can fit into multiple decks due to its first attack and.. and will change psychic decks forever because they usually lack actual power .. i dont think its worth 65 but i dont think it will be lost gar
  - Anonymous
    
    First of all, dude, I was just kidding, lighten up.
    
    Second of all, it MAY end up like LostGar. Sure, LostGar relied on Stage 2s, but that was in the MD-on format, the format in which Stage Twos could actually donk. Remember Machamp? Remember Kingdra? Jumpluff? How about Gengar SF? Any of those ring a bell? Even unplayed ones like Rampardos and Poliwrath could donk. I’m not saying Mewtwo WILL be the next Lostgar, but you shouldn’t say it won’t be.
    - Dave Enzo
      
      trust me im as ‘lighted up’ as they come lol
      
      and i agree that i cant say it wont be i was just stating my opinion..and i agree with you stage 2 doesnt make a card suck..I was only saying in a metagame with so many broken basics i think he may make a good addition ..thats it

Amazing pic and attacks, this one deserves to be called broken.

        I actually didn’t play the last couple formats, I only barely caught the end of MD- on. What exactly did that do?
      - http://twitter.com/Pkmn337 Pokémon 31337
        
        Just the same as Gardevoir would do now, but as in grass energy on grass types are doubled. It’s attack does 50 for 4(2) energy, and a coin flip. If heads, it would deal 20 more damage. It’s from Great Encounters I believe, and I heard there was also a Meganium with a poke-power like that, but still didn’t find it.

BDIF is about to change..watch your back magnezone prime
- Anonymous
  
  Magnezone Prime will be great against these, Lost Burn 2 a prize is AMAZING. The only real counter to that is Defender, which makes it 2.5 a prize.
  - http://twitter.com/inatspong Curtis
    
    Or Eviolite. Don’t forget, he is basic. I don’t know why you’d try to tank with him, but I guess you could run both.
    - Anonymous
      
      170hp and 190 (with an eviolite or a defender) is the same amount of energy lost burned to magnezone. Means nothing to him. Actually, as the magnezone player, i’d prefer you waste resources on mewtwo if I get to ohko him regardless.
      - http://twitter.com/inatspong Curtis
        
        If you drop one of each, that would be another Lost Burn energy. That, or a Plus Power drop.

        I meant that if there was an Eviolite and a Defender on him. Sorry to be unclear.

I wonder if the new -EXes would make the effects of old cards in unlimited apply. Well I believe they won’t since it’s capitalized, unfortunately :p Or I would have some fun at the local league I go.

You know….I thought of a name for a Shaymin EX/Mewtwo EX/Celebi deck… I would call it the Explorers. They kinda are the signature pokemon for the last 3 MD games for the DS!

Only $45? Looks like it’s gone down.

EDIT: Could we make it so that it only shows Buy It Now prices on eBay?
- http://adamcap.com/ Adam Capriola
  
  Yeah maybe, I’ll have to look into that.
- Monferno
  
  It’s gone down a LOT. As the set becomes older I would imagine it will keep dropping. (Hopefully) If I am desperate, I will buy one for no more than $20. I’m poor.
  I got a box, after saving for a while, a comeplete let down. They have terrible pull rates. I got 2 EX and 1 FA. Kyurem FA, one regular Kyurem and Shaymin. Of course all of the ones I don’t need.
  - Anonymous
    
    Bad box man. I opened mine today and it was full of birds, but I managed to get a FA Reshi, and a Gigas and Zekrom. My friend had a bad box too, a Zekrom and FA Gigas and SR Zoroark.
    - Monferno
      
      I got three birds – two zapdos and a moltres. I mean, the cards themselves were good, just not a whole lot of ultra rares/EXs.

The great mystery is why people would play this instead of Hoppip.
- Anonymous
  
  The best part is that Hoppip only gives up one prize. Those fools!
  - http://twitter.com/inatspong Curtis
    
    What are you talking about? Hoppip doesn’t give up any prizes. Hoppip is indestructible.
    - Anonymous
      
      Of course. How could I forget?
      
      Although a Hoppip could be KOd by an opposing Hoppip.
      - Anonymous
        
        Wouldn’t a Hoppip vs. Hoppip battle tear the fabric of space and time, though?
        
        There is a very slight possibility that I’m thinking of another Pokemon or two, but I think it’s Hoppip that has that capability.
      - Anonymous
        
        If that were true, it already would have happened because Hoppip is a common and is so easy to get. Those fools made it a COMMON! But then people would be afraid to play Hoppip because it would tear up space and time. Hoppip is so broken it breaks other things.
      - Anonymous
        
        Its Black and White Pokedex entry actually contains a mistake:
        
        “It drifts on winds. It is said that when Hoppip gather in fields and mountains, spring is on the way.”
        
        I’m sure they meant to replace “spring” with “apocalypse.”

I saw one price was “buy it now” for about $5, and I was like “OH GOD IT’S FIVE DOLLARS” and rushed to buy it – then i realized they made a mistake and it’s the jumbo card.

Someone should fix this.

  I’m on it! I just need to change the search criteria to be -oversized and -jumbo. Should be updated here in a couple days (priced are cached for a little while so I don’t eat up too much CPU resources).

Okay, nevermind. Hoping I can get one before States, in case you you know… didn’t get the point there.
- coolestman22
  
  You get one yet?
  - Monferno
    
    Nope. I gave up. Don’t have the money, don’t wanna spend the money. States is over, not going to regionals (because vacation.) I’ll see what to do around spring BRs.
    - coolestman22
      
      Do you play the PTCGO? If not, save up 120 codes and trade those for a Mewtwo. One time I got 3 Celebi Primes for 60 codes which I had no use for, I was practically getting them for free.
      - Monferno
        
        Seriously? I have about 20 + the Zekrom tin one, I used to play, recently stopped because I need the money for the real cards and I planned on selling them. Thanks, though.
      - coolestman22
        
        Either that, give up, or, like I said, invent a shrink ray.

        Or play Tetrakion… leaning in that direction.

Enjoy your reign ’til Rayquaza comes…
- coolestman22
  
  Rayquasa is not better than Mewtwo. It’s really good, but it’s not better than Mewtwo.
  
  Because Kyogre and Groudon are coming in Dark Rush, do you think we might get Rayquasa too or will that have to wait until post-Worlds?
  - VinayPatel
    
    Almost definitely afterwards. If they release Rayray then they will probably have to announce the Dragon Pokemon at the same time, so there’s no way it could be in DR.
    - coolestman22
      
      Guess so. Oh well.

Step One: Buy Jumbo Mewtwos
Step Two: Invent Shrink Ray
Step Three: Use Shrink Ray to force people to give you money to buy Mewtwos.

  I literally just ordered a FA yesterday for $55. This morning, when I read the news, I was devastated.

    You still can trade the Mewtwo to someone who is going to Nats/Worlds, or if you’re going yourself then it’s still useful.
    - http://forthefuturety.wordpress.com/ WilliamH.
      
      I’m not going and I don’t know anyone (in person at least). I’ll just hang onto mine because I doubt I can sell it for more than 30$ counting shipping costs. Since I plan to buy tins, that’s only 10$ profit. If you subtract from that the time it would take to find and sell the card–not worth it.
      - coolestman22
        
        There’s probably someone on Pokegym who wants a Mewtwo.
      - http://forthefuturety.wordpress.com/ WilliamH.
        
        Probably. The sad part is that I can’t even use Mewtwo up here b/c it’s FAR too powerful for my meta. Mewtwo EX tends to takes over any deck I put it in, simply b/c the temptation to pull him out and destroy everything is too hard to resist. :P
- coolestman22
  
  I’m glad I traded my spare for a… Darkrai :(
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EYAZCO2CKCXMC4S4QI3OSRF7VU Chuck Rancor

Does anybody else think that the best way to balance out the big basics is only allow basics to be at the level of power of stage two’s if they’re an EX? That way, a player would have to choose between giving up an extra prize or slowing you’re setup down.
