The Odds Are Strong With This One
/Probably at some point probability could possibly predict the postgame results for a match you’re playing in. Instead of covering a certain a card or strategy tip this week I’m going to break down how to figure out probability and how you can use that while playing to help get the wins.
Lets do some basic math work first. Reading this next part you’re probably thinking “We already know all this” but in case you don't know how to figure out probability this should help. We have 60 cards in our deck. We will draw a hand of 7 and then set aside 6 prizes leaving 47 cards in our deck. So lets determine the likely hood of...
Shattered Gemstones Chapter 11: Lilycove

Sorry for the week long delay on this chapter, folks! Some real-world circumstances held me back, but we're all good now!
A lot of things are set in motion in this chapter. A great battle is started at the end of another, a mysterious figure makes his move, and the life of one is spared among the deaths of many. This one should not be missed out on, folks. Enjoy!074 Decaf and DNA Faced (C2E2)

PKMN of the Week: Metagross
/
"Dude, that's so meta."
Meta is a prefix, derived from ancient Greek, used to indicate concurrency and reference. Metadata is included with your data and describes aspects of the data while remaining separate from the data itself.
"Yo, bro, that's gross."
Gross is a word descended from Latin, through French, and into Middle English that originally meant large. In current English "gross" is no longer used this way and instead means a collection of twelve dozen (144) items.
Who is the heaviest of all the Pokémon? Not Wailord. Who is the brilliant mind trapped in a bulky body made for battle?
"Dude, that Metagross is huge, bro."
Saturday Sketch
/
Today, is the second day of the festivities at C2E2, as most of you know PKMNcast had a panel yesterday/Friday the 13th. Since I am writing this in the past, and cannot predict the future, I am going to go out on a whim and say that the Panel went very well. “Here’s to hoping!”
But anyways let’s move on to Saturday Sketch!
Here we have an AMAZING Farfetch’d titled “Craft Farfetch’d”.
The title is named as such because it was drawn on craft paper.
It was done by *raizy on deviantART.
Farfetch’d is an overlooked Pokémon in my Opinion, it may have horrible stats, but there are chances it could fit in on a team. I won’t go into details on how to make it fit in because this is not my area of expertise.
However this drawing looks amazing and Farfetch’d has defiantly moved up on my list of favorite Pokémon.
That’s it for this week, be sure to check out the artist and their other Pokémon related works, they are quite awesome as well!
Oh and this weeks Saturday Sketch was suggested by Alec! If you don't have him added on Twitter add him! @alec_rose
Rare Article: 3 New Developments about Black and White 2 to be Excited for
/
The May issue of CoroCoro, a magazine that often breaks news about new Pokémon games has begun to leak, and there is a ton of very intriguing information about the upcoming sequels for Black and White. Here are the three that I am most excited about. After all, it's my opinion that matters.MOTW - Wish
/Heya guys, Kenny here with another exciting edition of Move Of The Week. Today we'll be taking a look at the ever-popular Wish! Wish is a Normal Type Status-Category move with a base PP of 10 (max 16). Wish is a unique recovery move that takes two turns to work. On the turn that the move is actually used, the game will simply state that the user made a wish. On the second turn however, the wish will come true and the Pokémon that is currently out will have their HP restored by 1/2 of the user's maximum HP. Please note that I said "user's". Yes, that means that your Blissey uses Wish and you switch out to your Toxicroak, that the Toxicroak's HP will be restored by 1/2 of the Blissey's maximum HP. I bet you guys are seeing the strategy in this move now, huh?
Alright, well now now that I mentioned strategy we might as well talk about that huh? Well, here we go! As previously stated, Wish heals the amount of HP that is equal to one half of the user's Maximum HP. Yes, Gen V DID change how Wish works. Wish used to heal half of the HP of the active Pokémon, and now (I'll say it one last time just to solidify it) it heals the active Pokémon 1/2 of the maximum HP of the Pokémon that used Wish. This means two things; Pokémon with a lot of HP make great use of passing on the Wish to other Pokémon, and Pokémon with low HP aren't so good at passing it on. This means that if you want use a Wish-passer then you'll most likely want to stick to your bulkier Wish-users such as Blissey, and Wigglytuff. Teams that are based around this strategy that are well-executed can be quite effective, however I would advise having a backup strategy just in case something goes wrong.
Well, that covers this edition of MOTW. I really hope you guys enjoyed it!
