Quick Question

[pmarckoue]

Are there any cards, that are tournament legal, that allow you to attach energies from your hand to your pokemon? (Aside from Feraligatr)

Uh... not that I can think of off the top of my head, but Rocket_Executive would probably know better than I would.

I did just learn that Pachirisu has a Poke-body that let's you put 2 electric energies from your hand and attach it to it. But I'm trying to get psychic energies from my hand to the pokemon. The closest strategy I can think of is using jirachi's poke-body to get up to 3 psychic's and attach it to jirachi. Then, use Mismagius' poke-body to move 1 psychic from jirachi to whoever I want. But that's a little time consuming.

Well leafeon lv X never seems to die in popularity simply because of its pokepower, which allows you to attach an energy card from your hand to a pokemon once per turn of any type. Feraligatr only allows water energy to water type pokemon, and pachirisu does two electric to itself. If you are looking for psychic energy, that jirachi is definitely viable and there are better options than mismagius for transferring after that. Lucian's assignment is a supporter which allows you to move your energy from a pokemon to another, and shaymin from unleashed or undaunted has a power that allows the movement of all your energy between pokemon freely. For a quick power up of a costly psychic pokemon, you could drop one jirachi to the bench or even two if you flip too many tails, then shaymin celebration wind them all to your psychic pokemon. If the jirachi's become a liability on the bench, seeker them or super scoop them up.

I see. So would it be better to trade out the Mismagius for Shaymin?

 

[Rocket_Executive]

I think shaymin is better because, not only is it a basic pokemon that you don't have to worry about evolving, but you can move any number of energy where mismagius only lets you move one, and you aren't restricted to psychic energy.

Thanks for the advice. Now, hopefully my deck will be good enough for a casual game.

I was actually wondering this myself as well. Thanks for the great info everyone!
