   If only the Gamblers of Pokemon RBY had known Granbull existed, they could minimize their losses greatly. Thinking of running this alongside Gambler in an unlimited deck.

     You can make this pretty consistent for a single przer by using Oranguru · Sun & Moon (SUM) #113 and Magcargo · Celestial Storm (CES) #24. You stack something like Ultra Ball or Comp Search on top of your deck, instruct, and then discard your whole hand like that every turn. Make most cards in your deck burnable, and you can hit for a consistent 160 every turn in most cases.

   This card was the first appearance of the attack きょだいなキバ since N4 Dark Donphan. There, the attack was translated as “Giant Tusk”, but the throwback continuity nod – to a WOTC-translated card, no less – might’ve gotten missed, or else they just didn’t want to suggest Granbull has ‘tusks’.

   きょだいなキバ is again translated as Giant Fangs on ASR Regidrago, but we are now – and I hate writing about cards in advance of their release because who knows what happens – headed towards an interesting situation, as S11 Donphan*, which should show up in Silver Tempest, has the きょだいなキバ attack. Will they call it Giant Fangs for consistency? Or will they actually try to remember to translate it differently depending on whether the Pokémon it shows up on has giant fangs or giant tusks?

   Find out soon, I guess.
