MOTW: Tailwind

/

One of the most popular strategies of this year’s Pokemon VGC’s involved the move Tailwind. Tailwind doubles the Speed stat of the user and all other Pokémon in the player’s party for three turns. Out of the three genies introduced in 5th gen, the pure Flying-type Tornadus is suited to setting up Tailwind. Its ability, Prankster, allows non-attacking moves to gain +1 priority. This allows it to set up Tailwind with ease, and Taunt Trick Room users. It also has a powerful STAB Acrobatics which hits many Pokemon in VGC ‘11 for super effective damage. Let’s break it down in this week’s Move of the Week.

Playing in a limited format, like the prerelease, is an entirely different game. Cards that you never thought would be playable can win you games and some of the cards you’re most excited for in the set won’t pull the weight they would in constructed. I’m going to lay out the rules for a prerelease tournament so if you are already knowledgeable you can skip the next paragraph and check out my deck list.

Four Pokémon You Should Consider: Part II

/
Exactly one year ago today I posted one of PKMNcast's most famous artilces. Some say that it's the article that put us on the Google map. Well... I thought today would be a great follow up to that article since their are over 600 Pokémon now. Honestly, it's been over 6 months since I wrote an article myself.
