    Forms an absolutely disgusting combo with Imakuni and full heal

      I’m curious, what is Imakuni?

        I believe it’s just a joke card, LOL.
        Forms a considerably more disgusting combo with Mewtwo LV.X · Legends Awakened (LA) #144 and Ancient Technical Machine [Rock] · Hidden Legends (HL) #85.

    I have a question about its Power: If the opponent’s Active Pkmn using an attack that would evolve a Pkmn (such as Ascension https://pkmncards.com/card/zorua-dark-explorers-dex-69/ ), does Aerodactyl’s Power prevent the effect of such an attack?

      No it wouldn’t, because the power only works against PLAYED evolutions. An attack that has an EFFECT that allows an evolution card to be put on the Pokemon BYPASSES the Power, because that attack does not PLAY the evolution card since it’s an EFFECT of the attack.

      read this:

      I was wondering if R. magikarp’s Waterfall Evolution can be used with
      Aerodactyl.  I’m guessing it can’t be, since the attack counts as evolving
      magikarp, but I’m not sure.
                                             
      -FossilMagikarp

      You are incorrect.  Aerodactyl’s Power States that Evolution cards
      can not be played.  Rapid Evolution does not play the card, it puts it ON
      Magikarp.  A subtle difference.

      I would also like to state something right now.  Clefairy/Clefable
      can NOT evolve into Gyarados, no matter what you may hear.  This subject
      came up on the Wizard’s Chat a while back, where the MTs stated that they
      thought you could.

      I hope the MTs please look closely at Magikarp.  They will see that
      using Waterfall Evolution DOES count as evolving the Pokemon.  This means
      that the Evolution must be a LEGAL evolution.  A Gyarados can not be
      evolved from a Clefairy or a Clefable.  The game rules of Evolution still
      do apply here.  You can not evolve something through special means unless
      you could legally evolve it anyway. 

      My point to back this up is Pokemon Breeder.  You can’t put a
      Blastoise on a Charmander – that is not within the rules of the game, and not a
      legal evolution.

      Well, rant mode off.

    Speaking of Imakuni?, the new Japanese filler set has done the impossible. They actually printed Imakuni? IN A MAINLINE EXPANSION.
    As a supporter. As a secret rare. In a format without any abilities that can be shut down by status conditions.

    Looks like Minion of Team Rocket · Gym Heroes (G1) #113 is getting a new dorm-mate, as we have a new contender for “worst card ever.”

      You have no idea how happy I am to hear this, especially if it comes out here. I’ve wanted the pleasure of encountering one on my own for years, and now, hopefully, I can have that opportunity.

        It was in EX Battle Boost in Japan, but got shoved to Generations in English!

        BTW, it’s banned.

    Does this also block Mega Evolution? It probably does, just want to be sure.

      Yes, it does.

    This is when they released lots of shiny cards to fill out a pack. Good thing they don’t do that now.
