I’d love trying this with Skyarrow Bridge (Next Destinies NXD 91) and Kyurem EX or even Haxorus (Noble Victories NVI 88).

Gonna be the fourth V in VVV because you can keep the lock going longer and then Glaciate to kill everything.

I already cal it VVVVV just to name it after this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVVVVV
The other two Vs are Vanillite and Vanillish. Sure they’re only there to evolve, but they’re still there.

Kind of funny how this is the CotD since I just got a Reverse version of this in an online booster about an hour ago.
They’re probably angry because they’re not as powerful as their NV cousin.

What is “sole” supposed to mean in this context??

The original is ツルツルソール [Tsurutsuru Souru] . ソール is “so-ru” and isn’t a native Japanese word, but a loanword borrowed from English, or occasionally meant to “sound English”. It looks like in most contexts ソール would be used to mean ‘sole’ as in the part of a shoe. It’s not that translating ソール to ‘soul’ would be wrong, necessarily, and there are real world examples I found where it’s done.
It’s Slippery Soles, as in slippery feet, hence you and your opponent switching Actives (sliding about from Bench to Active on slippery ice), but I think the name came more from the fact ‘tsurutsurusouru’ is a cute tongue twister rather than being TOO worried about making a lot of sense.
