Recently we got a peek at the cards in the newly released Japanese set, SM2. I’m sure most of you have seen at least a few of these by now, but a brand new set warrants another look. I will include a few in the article here from various Twitter posts and if you’d like to see them all, there will be a video at the bottom of the article that has everything else that has been released.
We don’t know what exactly this will mean for the next English set just yet. If we have everything that’s been released in our English set, we would have over 35 Ultra Rares, Full Arts, or Secret Rares. That just sounds outrageous. But only time will tell. I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated as we get news about English releases.
First off, we have the Wishiwashi GX/Full Art. The first card of Wishiwashi we have in its School Form.
Next up, we have a Secret Rare Fighting Energy. The Metal and Psychic Energy Secret Rares from Sun and Moon Base Set are really holding up price-wise so it’s nice to see TPCI continuing the trend. We also have a Secret Rare Lightning Energy in the set. We saw a Secret Rare Double Colorless Energy and Grass Energy in SM1+ which we still have not had in English. So potentially 4 Secret Rare Energies for the English SM2?
So what do you guys think about the new cards? Are you excited to own them for yourself? And what are your thoughts on the controversial amount of Secret Rares in the Sun and Moon sets so far?












So, what’s everybody favourite middle stage evolution? :3
Mine is:

oh so beautiful
Right?! I’m a sucker for flower/plant Pokemon.
yeah like meganium so pretty but cute
Yes! Meganium’s one of my faves too, but I was ass at playing Pokemon when I was younger so I refused to start HG/SS with a Chikorita because I COULD NOT for the life of me get past Bugsy with a Chikorita led team.
Roserade is bae tho
Roserade is actually my favorite Pokemon of all-time with Lopunny being a close #2.
This cutie

we need a Manatee Pokemon
Speaking of, have you heard the recent news. Manatees are no longer endangered, they are threatened (which is better than endangered). The population is growing. Huzzah
whooo manatees are getting better numbers!
YAYZ I freaking love manatees and one day will swim with them
But my Manatee poke would be called Moonatee and be a Water/Normal type with the HA Defeatist (at first it was a cruel joke but they will know Entrainment)
but OMG LOOK AT THIS
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/f3/82/15/f38215e77cc1356c0fab34ecd2fb28ab.jpg
awww so cute and huggable
and a name to boot
Sweetee
AWWWWWWW even more cute.
http://pre12.deviantart.net/d16f/th/pre/f/2014/049/f/3/051_manaton_by_marix20-d6jqnyw.png
It evolves into this adorable lard
wow it looks like a big blubberbutt but cool as a water type
I was expecting Silcoon
for real though I love Braixen. Even if Delphox is terrible, Braixen is one of my favorite fire types
yeah but in reality i LOVE servine not zeuilous
There’s a reason why it got to Pokken instead of Delphox
more agile is my guess
My guess is that it’s design unlike Braixen’s, is perfect
yeah but why didn’t they put servine in pokken?
Because there’s over 800 mons and they could only choose a few of them and servine isn’t as popular as Serperior or Snivy
oh okay but if there was a newcomer to pokken for me it would be like dragonite
3 way tie between, Crocnaw, flaffy and Gloom
Monferno, I love it to death
Biggest lie in pokemon games:
Synchronize has a 50% chance to sync the nature to wild pokemon. As if, it’s more like 10% if that
ohh wow that SUCKS
True. Another thing is the encounter rate. When I’m not looking for a particular pokémon, it’s 80%, when I actually want to encounter it, it’s more like 5%.
The biggest lie is Draco Meteors 90 percent accuracy which misses every fucking time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0pezsVK8gQ
HOW ABOUT THIS??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF7lv1gfP1Q
Earthen will trump that with this!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jhcIddnZKA
That’s how I played the flute when I was a kid :3
(and everyone else too)
yeah truuu like the kazoo it my best instrument except drums i’m good at drums
If I had drums I would play this masterpiece 24/7
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=82ANkjVEpYk
awwww classic
Now THAT’S a high quality rip
I’m in wayward cave right now leveling up Mint, my Leafeon with Mira and all I can do is helping hand Kadabra over and over again .-.
just gotta keep clapping
oh you named it mint for me?
You should’ve named your leafeon “Leafy Is Here”…. goddamn it
NO MINT IS BETTER THO
I know but I wouldn’t MINT for it to change it’s name 😉
yeah but it doesn’t make any sense for leafeon to be named leafy is here.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/19fb446683b2aab302028e087aaf27c019cd03e6fb2cf1b45044913d94981905.gif
BBUUUTTT IF IT’S SHINY then name it leafy is here
… its not
i know but IF IT WAS then name it that
why not save yourself the time and call it douche canoe, its pretty much the same thing
They’re suspect testing OU which means a clean slate to battle
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7oususpecttest-555798787
but the competition hasn’t changed much
I guess theyre testing Pheromosa again. I think it should be banned.
agreed, along with….the tapus, all the Ultra Beasts, anything with evolite and anything that can learn roost, recover and scald
then the world would be so much better
And pokemon that learn EQ or Flamethrower or Brick Break and all sinnoh Pokemon.
Then it will be basically perfect
ehhh sometimes i wish we had more ground type moves that can make a difference
i mean yeah Earthquake is quite literally the best move in the game but i just get so tired of running it,
Just dont ban Nihiligo plz thx
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7oususpecttest-555802362
it fills my crusty heart with joy
OH COOL MY GAME FUCKING FROZE AFTER AN HOUR IN WAYWARD CAVE
WHAT IT DID?!?! bummer
Are you Percy? I thought she used to be silver riolu or maybe I’m mstaken, either way, welcome back its been a while
NVM I HAVE FAILED YOU STAR!!!
YOU’VE BEEN BAMBOOZLED HAHA
THIS IS SIMPLY MY APRIL FOOLS JAPE
Just a reminder incase anyone forgot theres currently an egg hatching mission going on until April 10th and its a great chance to get another Love ball and some FC. Im pretty sure all you have to do is hatch like 3 eggs, and the mission has already surpassed its goal by a lot
poppy has evolved! 😀

YAY BLIMPY
Drifblim is actually amazing ^-^
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d166d5255a1590bcd6f063bd178e92e0801f1ad25c8fb1815b465d69c28a3419.jpg
but how amazing?
The right amount of amazingness
yeah i guess but i don’t really like drifblm
I’ve really been liking Driftblims lately, I think its just too adorable
One cannot mention Drifblim without mentioning its awesome cry

I’m charging head first into the Master Rank Cool Contest. Leelee the Floatzel is going to show she’s the raddest girl around. Who needs Poffins anyways?
ok so it wont let me do master rank
Quickest buildup & shutdown ever 🙁
IM STILL GOONA WIN ITS GOONA BE AMAZING >:D
The good ol days when contest was still around…
yeah good times. torterra’s back sprite was backwards tho
2ND PLACE BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHOOOOOOO!!
Floatzel looks like it’s constantly surprised
https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/heartgold-soulsilver/back-normal/floatzel-f.png
yeah and torterra looks like a hawiian island
I love the Gen 4 sprites for Ponyta and Rapidash
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/22/Spr_b_4p_077.png
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/73/Spr_b_4d_078.png
oh yeah those are GOOD sprites
I love the shading on the fire. Very nicely done
yeah so nice
man i wish the shiny for torterra never changed from diamond and pearl.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7a00e1f53b18c9fe5c084f5ea696c227ba4841ed23b3361e593f2a643bf3bf70.png
So I grinded my pokemon all up to level 30 and just DESTROYED Fantasia. I normally have a really hard time fighting her but I guess when you are 3 levels higher than her strongest pokemon and you have Crunch and Ominous Wind it is pretty easy…
yeah but who has crunch and ominus wind?
Floatzel and Driflimb
oh okay but you didn’t have any trouble fighting her with them?
… no. not at all? thats literally what I said
oh pfffft. man i’m dumb sometimes.
fantasia? whoops I mean Fantina
anyways got the badge!!

I like how Fantina is such a contras from other ghost type trainers
They are always spooky but she’s just fab
Yayyyy everyone replaying Platinum
oh dang did you start replaying it too? 😀 (I’m Star btw)
Oh dammit xD I had no idea. Welp. But yeah, I’ve been playing Platinum for about a month
What’s your team? Were are you at?
But ye lol. This was my april fools thing. It’s me from 2013 😀 really want that good tho
really wasn’t*
I am at Mt. Coronet, about to face down Team Galactic. Team is all level 50. Empoleon, Rapidash, Roserade, Drifblim, Gardevoir, Rhydon.
Empoleon, Roserade and Gardevoir? This is a pretty good team
Tbh Sinnoh is kind of tough on grass types, although I do love Roserade a lot. It just kind of is stalled. I’m planning on using it to set down some toxic spikes for Cynthia. Hopefully it can last against spiritomb. I do like my team though! I was trying to use pokemon that I like but haven’t used in a long time.
I’m using leafeon for my grass type which is kinda tough since unless you have TMS, Eeveelutions are pretty tough to use when you first get them.
I can’t wait until D/P remakes though because its going to be an all star team of my favorites since most of my faves are in the Sinnoh dex. I will only be leaving out Primarina and Furret really
Nice! I was gonna use Jolteon, but, as you said, the eevees are just hard to use cause of their movepools being pitiful
Pls don’t change your profile picture, it’s perf
Toucannon is perf
toucannon is bae
yes I agree and Lopunny and Primarina and Furret are all terrible
yeah you right those three got nothin on toucannon
I’m shook
These art made me dislike these monkeys a lot less https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dd45df5b187455d43cd2c16863273e3b412a4383f65e4c1e390b58f44c07e1f1.jpg

aww Semipour looks so cute
If it only was that cute in the games
Poor thing
… did… did no one get the pun?
It was quite Simipoor
Well if you don’t like my goofs than I wont sage anymore and I’ll sear you later!
Cilan’s Pansage should have evolved!
Ash wanted his friend to be quiet. He yelled “CILANS”
Another reason why WB anime sucks
that semipour is MAJESTIC
Wanna see what destruction looks like? here it is in Pokemon form!

i’m sorry about the RP thing
Everyone else involved probably is too
no just me and a friend on deviantart. plus they said that they are a perv (i think) but they good
Well…. Ok
well i agreed to it maybe getting sexual soo ehhh well i’m not going to do those kinds of RPs after i’m done
Let me give you some advice for dealing with sexual RP’s. Just do this to the girl https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d8a2cef293ab6d7fe336c364fb59b7facb22833ddab0b5109116ffe53ac2c88e.gif

OH MY GOD THIS IS TRUE LIKE I WANT A GODDAMN KELDEO BUT I CAN’T
I want Chippa and Coughkoff medals but the events were last year
what okay well are you collecting yokai medals?
Yeah and they are of few I really want
yeah but how many medals have you gotten so far?
I think I have last I checked (not including duplicates) about 78
oh like i was gonna say like i have 48 or so medals
i’d have more but I have no access to sets 3 or 4
Yet I have the exclusive medals of Slush and Hovernyan (One I tried to get the other was a coincidence of going to Gamestop one night)
wait sets 3 or 4? do you mean series?
Yeah those series are still unavailable in my area (except one comic store where my mom got me to series 4 packs for Christmas)
oh cool but do you have legendary medals?
Shogunyan and Elder Bloom still hunting down Spoilerina and Poofessor medals
oh okay those medals are cool but the only special medals are dandoodle and kirin
Yeah I have lots of S Rank though like Blizzaria, Cruncha, Hornaplenty, Count Cavity, Venoct, Kyubi, Frostail and others
oh i got venoct too man we should battle sometime soon
Ok

Today is the day when I look back and reflect on how I’m the biggest joke of all
We all have done that at some point in life XD

man i really do feel stupid right now
why because you can spell potatoes and this person can not?
no it’s that we said who,what,when,where,how
well when life gives you lemons, squeeze them in the eyes of your enemies
yeah then roll in an oil pit with bruises
Atleast you’re one worth telling and funny unlike me 😛
fail more at things, eventually people will find it funny
Best advice I’ve ever received in my life
or say things that you think aren’t funny but is somehow funny
🙁 Sorry I gotta go see y’all tomorrow
okay bye.
Bye I ran out of data for the month and till after the 6 i will be rare to find before 3

I cant imagine it would be anything ground breaking
OH YOU SAY THAT WELL LOOK AT THIS.

Yeah you already posted this
i know but i didn’t know if you read it.
Fine some of Earthen RP
Name: Entharalis Earthstorm
Race: Dwarf/Half-Orc or Human depending on contex
Class: Barbarian/Elementalist
My story is the ever classic cursed/enchanted fantasy game board called “Enthralling Exodus” where my fat hairy ass gets sucked into and frequently adventures and quests, the magical aura projected by the game grants me superhuman abilities and magical gear. prolonged exposure to the game’s magic caused my abilities to slowly and gradually increase in the human world
Some gear include my Warsledge a magical mallet which houses the spirit of an Elemental Earth Goddess named Alizia which sorta…. merged with my puny mortal soul and now she leads and guides me on my journey, my Boots of the Embark: enchanted hiking boots that let me walk a thousand miles without rest or fatigue, and lastly my Tuskhorn Helm which is a horned helmet which grants me ursine strength
@spectralseraph:disqus @ithsme:disqus
I can kinda understand why you hate Overwatch. Clearly you played with the idiots I just got stuck with. Shout outs to the Orisa who spent the whole game standing at spawn just looking around
ooh bad player group….oooh boy
