Just to let you know that was already found out when they released the Japanese card. It is just a typo and wasn't fixed in translation I believe.
Quote:
On the card's entry, a typo has the word It spelled with two Is, making it say IIt instead of It.
Ok I actually have a few questions.
1. Is there a maximum hand limit?
2. Do poke-bodies stack? i have 2 Amparophs Prime and I wanted to know if I had both of them out if the opponet would take 20 damage for each energy attached
3. Can you only have 4 of special energy like Double Energy?
4. What expansion sets are legal in tournament play? Ive only ever bought from Diamond and Pearl up but I wanted to know if older cards were legal.
(Edit) 5. And lastly, with prize cards do you due the top 6 or whatever from your deck after you draw or do you pick your prize cards?
Thank you for any help you can provide
I don't think so.Quote:

Yup. That's why they had to create a basic form of Darkness and Metal Energy.Quote:

I'm pretty sure nothing from before Diamond and Pearl (maybe even later than that at this point?) is still legal in official tournaments, unless of course the card has been reprinted since then.Quote:

Top six of your deck after shuffling but before you draw your first seven cards is how it was done in the Game Boy games. I hope those are faithful to how it's done in real life.Quote:

Anyway, my question is this: what is the rarity of Prime and LEGEND cards in relation to previous gimmicky cards of this type, i.e. ex/LV. X? I was under the assumption that Primes were a little less rare than ex/LV. Xs while LEGENDs were more rare? Is that true at all?
1. Just to confirm.. Does Dugtrio's Sinkhole (from Platinum) activate if you "force" your opponent to switch with moves like Push Down?
2. Is shiny pokemon rarer than LvX?
This reply targets anyone discussing the extra "i."Quote:

Yes, expansion packs and booster packs are the same thing. The Legendary Dog Legend cards have not yet been released in English.Quote:

3. Yes, you can only have four of a special energy in your deck.
4. Right now, Diamond & Pearl-onward is legal. In August, it's likely that only Platinum-on will be legal, but there's been no official confirmation of that.
5. Your Prize Cards are the top six cards of your deck after you draw your opening hand.
Welcome to BMGf!
Primes are considerably less rare than Lv.Xs. Primes are about six per box, while Lv.Xs were two per box in most sets. Legends are about the same rarity as Lv.Xs. EXs are basically about as common as Primes as far as pull rates go, I believe. Perhaps slightly more common. Either way, with the exception of Meganium, I wouldn't go trading your Primes for random EXs.Quote:

I had a question!
I've just started getting into TCG and I was wondering.. how much does it cost to start up a deck?
and you can only buy cards in packs of 10 right?
Thanks
Depends on how good you want the deck to be. ^^;;; Your best bet right now would be to look at the Cost of a Good Deck thread and buy the staples listed there. And yes, you can only get packs of ten, unless you want to buy a theme deck.Quote:

What are theme decks?
Theme decks are pre-made decks focusing on one or two different types of Pokémon. For example Zap! or Mind Flood. As for the rest of your questions.. I'm unsure of the answer :)
You could buy 6 packs of random cards, but there's no way you could use just those 60 cards to build a deck.Quote:

As far as online retailers go, I'm not sure. I don't buy packs online. Sorry.
When I got my first (and currently only) booster pack (a single pack of the "Platinum" expansion), one of the cards was Palkia G. Do things like that happen often?
When scanned into an e-reader, what will this card activate?
- You can usually expect to pay about $4 for an individual pack, sometimes less.Quote:

Good answer.Quote:

No, it doesn't. You're right, that would pretty much make him invincible. In that case, it applies only to the Quagsire GL that's on the Bench.Quote:
