Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal an Evolution card. Show that card to your opponent and put it into your hand. Shuffle the other revealed cards into your deck. (If you don’t reveal an Evolution card, shuffle all the revealed cards back into your deck.)

It’s like a better Quick Ball.
Curtis
Why is this better? Quick Ball gets any Pokemon, while Fast Ball only works on evolutions.
reshikrom64
Say you run Eelektrik, you are guaranteed the card you want. QB is too unpredictable.
Curtis
I’d rather just play Level Ball in this case. No point playing something that only searches out one thing (unless you’re playing Durant or Terrakion)
coolestman22
Plus Level Ball can get Tynamo, Cleffa, or Smeargle, and if you want Eel, you get Eel.
reshikrom64
Well, for things like Gyarados, this>Quick Ball.
coolestman22
You can Heavy Ball for Gyarados, same excuse.

When are they going to make a trainer called Curve Ball?
Adam Capriola
Hahah yes!! We need Spit Ball too… maybe it could grab water Pokemon.
coolestman22
Maybe they would release a Spit Ball, and then ban it.

Commenting on this card because I think I made a small change to make the site load faster. Has anyone else noticed the site being a little snappier?
Ziggmiceter
definitely.
Adam Capriola
nice!
feyblade
It does seem to be faster, though the Disquss interface still tends to load after the website itself. The loss of sub-tabs for the earlier sets will be mourned, but I can understand why you shifted them to a separate page.The ex block went on for so long that it was nearly impossible to sort through the menu,and the introduction of gen 6 would just make things even crazier.
That’s getting me to think, though.Perhaps you could add the formats a card was/is legal in to the list of search options?
Adam Capriola
1. Disqus is always going to load slower, can’t do anything about that since it’s a third party service (besides switching to WordPress comments, but I like Disqus better).
2. Yeah the sub-tabs are what I removed. There were just so many and I realized it was probably eating up a lot of resources generating them each time a page loaded. It made a fairly noticeable difference removing them.
3. I’m on that! If you type in the search box f:bs-on then base set on legal cards will show. f:tr-on, etc…
I haven’t gotten real far with the data entry so far though. Trying to get modified shored up first then will venture into unlimited. Would you want to help with data entry? Any help I can get is much appreciated.
feyblade
I’d be fine helping with data entry,as long as no hardcore coding is involved.
Adam Capriola
Great! There is zero coding involved. Do you have a SixPrizes account? I have a private message conversation there with everyone who’s helping and I’ll add you to it.

Great, check your messages on the forums: http://www.sixprizes.com/forums/

I’ll try to help, but I won’t have much time on my hands.
Adam Capriola
I know you’re busy with baseball. No worries man!
Curtis
I’d be willing to help a little. Since I don’t really have the money to play the game right now, I’d like to contribute to the community in some way until I can afford to start buying cards again. My 6P account is inatspong.
Adam Capriola
Awesome! I’ve added you to the conversation on the forums. Not sure which set need to be worked on right now though… NVI, EPO, and BLW maybe.
Hamfood Lufan
I could help if you need more. if you don’t though, that’s OK.
My 6P uername is lufan131
Adam Capriola
Cool, I added you to the forums thread. Currently there isn’t anything to work on because I need to do some more coding/game planning first.
Adam Capriola
I made a few small tweaks today which I think should speed up the site a little (I removed Google Analytics tracking and switched away from WordPress image hosting, plus I cleaned up some dead URLs and bad code). I also realized the file sizes of some of the images on here are quite bloated (which is going to slow page loads down no matter what). In the future I’ll try to pay more attention and make sure I’m not inadvertently jacking up the files sizes when I edit scans. (Going back through everything I’ve already uploaded is going to be too tedious.)
P.S. I also disabled the image zoom preloading.
