Gadget Show x Rotom ex x 10 Pokémon Tools on Bench x Brave Bangle x Maximum Belt x Mega Venusaur enemy = 440 damage.

Seems like a really good card.

I like that the implication of this card is that the active pokémon are fighting each other in the cage, while the benched pokémon are sitting safely in the audience.

They started changing card text conventions starting in Black Bolt and White Flare, but starting in Mega Evolution we’re seeing bigger changes, mostly seen in the wording of Abilities.
I would have preferred for these changes to not happen.

Is that second attack a typo? Why does it say “to each of 2 of your opponent’s Pokémon”? Aren’t these attacks usually written as just “to 2 of your opponent’s Pokémon”? Is there something different about this attack?

I don’t know, the shrouded fable color scheme just doesn’t really mesh with mega Charizard x. Maybe a deep blue-indigo gradient would have been better

Team Flare Gear cards aren’t legal in standard, and in expanded everybody plays Guzma unfortunately. Cool idea though!

On a Pokemon-EX obviously

How feasible is it to pair this with a Team Flare Gear card and tool recursion to get a near infinite lock?

Other fun examples of this from recent AR cards: Shedinja & Ninjask; Gholdengo ex and Gimmighoul; Spidops ex and Tarountula

I enjoy when the illustration is clearly one long piece cropped in a few places, and this set’s bulbasaur line full art sure has that!

I forgot about those, there’s also the metal delta species revolutions and the ex era dark Pokemon from team rocket returns as well.

There are Pokémon like Scovillain OBF and Scovillain ex SSP that can be multiple types while in play.
One deck in the XY era used dual-type Pokémon from Steam Siege to boost Xerneas BKT‘s Rainbow Force attack. You can see the list at https://jklaczpokemon.com/xy-decks-1/#rainbow-road

Where’s MEP 012?

Mew EX wasn’t the only Pokémon used to copy the Deck and Cover attack… https://pkmncards.com/card/mew-triumphant-tm-97/ can copy it too! Just have one Mew Prime send an Accelgor to the Lost Zone with See Off (Or use https://pkmncards.com/card/relicanth-call-of-legends-cl-69/ ‘s Prehistoric Wisdom instead), and all your future Mew Prime will be able to copy its attacks just fine! https://ptcgarchive.com/2012-decks/#chandygor Back then players had https://pkmncards.com/card/vileplume-undaunted-ud-24/ to turn off items from the BENCH (Yes, it only turned off “Items” and “Tools,” Gen 4 trainer classifications were weird), and while the deck probably would have preferred to run Mew EX, it didn’t come out until Vileplume and Mew Prime had rotated anyways. (Oh, and by the way, the deck could place damage counters with https://pkmncards.com/card/chandelure-noble-victories-nvi-60/ to knock out damaged Pokémon on YOUR turn and then continue paralyzing and poisoning the NEW…

It’s a pun on “Duck! And cover!” (A slogan from a piece of Cold War propaganda of the same name that told children they’d survive an atomic bomb if they had under their desks or even a newspaper. Okay, that might be an extreme over-simplification, but go watch the video some time!)

https://pkmncards.com/card/karrablast-black-bolt-blk-009/ has a matching Ability, but ironically if you use either Pokémon’s Stimulated Evolution with only one copy of each in play, you won’t be able to evolve the other!
The coolest use I can think of for this card would be with https://pkmncards.com/card/accelgor-dark-explorers-dex-11/ , a card I need to post a comment about later. We have a worse version of it in standard right now, but it would require energy acceleration. https://pkmncards.com/card/accelgor-journey-together-jtg-013/
Charmaster
I used that exact feature. It was played because it could evolve into a counter to https://pkmncards.com/card/inteleon-sword-shield-ssh-058/ and https://pkmncards.com/card/inteleon-chilling-reign-cre-043/ , and in the case of most of those lists, if you attached an Energy card to Eevee and used Vee-Search, it meant you wouldn’t be able to use any of your big attacks on your second turn and would probably lose the game.
I’m assuming Cappy is using this card in a more casual setting, like the setting I described myself playing in up to 2019. The decks I built during that time period had fewer consistency trainers, weaker (if any) energy acceleration, and just a less cohesive strategy than competitive lists, and if I’d had any single prize basic Pokémon that could search out three EX’s or GX’s, I absolutely would have played them (I DID play my one https://pkmncards.com/card/alolan-vulpix-guardians-rising-gri-21/ in my deck, though that card was good even in competitive play…
