<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the February Issue of CoroCoro, a Japanese manga game and toy magazine, a new Pokemon evolution was revealed that has many in the Pokemon communit<i>y</i> abuzz. As scans of the magazine cover made their way online people were speculating if it was a new or existing Pokemon type The name of the Pokemon is <b>Ninfia</b> and<b> </b>evolves from many peoples favorite Pokemon Evee. <b><br /><br />Yes, a new Evee evolution.</b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With little to no information to go off of, people let their imagination run wild with guessing what type it could possibly be. I'm a frequent visitor of Pokemon Forums and seeing some of the members thoughts was rather interesting. Some people said it could be a dragon type evolution and others thought it was a new flying type Pokemon. I found the flying type idea very interesting because when I first saw the screenshot I thought of Skyla. I know it would be stupid to make a Pokemons genetic make up that of a characters appearance </span><span style="font-size: small;">but come on, <b>look at it</b>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <b>What really stood out to me was the colors used on Ninfia and it's resemblance to Skyla. </b></span></span></div>

As some of you are familar with the TCG (I hope) and the video game, you will know that Skyla's appearance is almost the same.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Another indication that it could possibly be a flying type and it's ties to Skyla is the bows on it's body. If some of you don't know, Skyla has bows on her head that resemble plane propellers that are spinning. Looking closely at Ninfia, you can see bows that in my opinion resemble propellers that ARE NOT spinning. I know it is easy to assume that the bows probably don't mean nothing and I'm looking too much into it. <br /><br /><b>This is where I would like to make my case that the bows do mean something.</b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In all the previous Evee evolutions, each Pokemon has a distinct type of body characteristic on it that indicated what type it was. As in the photo to the right, you can see I pointed out each of the markings. For there not to be a type indication on this new Evee evolution goes against what Pokemon has been doing ever since they starting making evolutions to Evee. <br /><br /><b>My final answer: Flying.</b><b> <br /> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What do you think? This posting was primarily my theory on what type it could be and I'm always up for discussing the ideas of other people. Feel free to leave a comment below telling me how wrong I am or if you agree.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">With the introduction of the new Pokemon TCG set, Plasma Storm, we were
given a card that was suppose to be in our last English set but was
withheld for whatever reason. But now it is here! I’m talking about
Hypnotoxic Laser.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFRYSJM3yFOBDvIPYuJsP_9OCEjB_ExQ2O7R-pTYlyPA59MZN8qBkZruVo6ipUnjuPH6dq9Z0evqd-zceKTrsy2uUPGL5VliSz5LBtzWLQj8INdEpyBbXWvT9Ag_KGPY7J-Fh20zHjmQ/s1600/aeqwe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFRYSJM3yFOBDvIPYuJsP_9OCEjB_ExQ2O7R-pTYlyPA59MZN8qBkZruVo6ipUnjuPH6dq9Z0evqd-zceKTrsy2uUPGL5VliSz5LBtzWLQj8INdEpyBbXWvT9Ag_KGPY7J-Fh20zHjmQ/s1600/aeqwe.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">At first glance I didn’t think it would be that great. Automatic poison with a coin flip of heads, your opponent is also asleep. With
free retreating in Darkrai decks and Keldeos Rush In ability in
Blastoise decks, I thought there was too many “outs” for this card.
I traded for two at my pre-release this last Sunday and decided to try
it out against a buddy of mine who was running Empoleon/Mew/Terrakion.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://media.tumblr.com/fd158f80b207e946186631450ddcba35/tumblr_inline_mhk5oirMeM1qz4rgp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="200" src="http://media.tumblr.com/fd158f80b207e946186631450ddcba35/tumblr_inline_mhk5oirMeM1qz4rgp.jpg" width="140" /></a><span style="font-size: small;">I have to say, the extra 10 in damage goes a long way for Darkrai vs. Terrakion match ups! If
you Night Spear your opponents active and deal 30 to a bench Terrakion,
it is a automatic kill if you can catcher and Hypnotoxic Laser it your
next turn. This thing single handily changed the meta-game</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
simply with that extra 10 in damage. If an extra ten can be that much of
a difference maker, then how great <span style="font-size: small;">would</span> another extra 20 damage be?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pokemon also decided to give us another card we were suppose have in our last english set in Virbank City Gym.<b> </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Let's just call it VCG from here on out.</b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Putting two more damage counters on poisoned Pokemon makes Hypnotoxic
Laser one of the deadliest cards we’ve had in quite awhile. V<span style="font-size: small;">CG</span> automatically increases damage output by 30 for those running<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span>lasers in their deck. Its like a plus power on <span style="font-size: small;">sterio<span style="font-size: small;">ds but requiring <span style="font-size: small;">the two cards in pla<span style="font-size: small;">y to pull off. <span style="font-size: small;">After awhile I started looking at cards and seeing how one could "exploit" thi<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">s com<span style="font-size: small;">b<span style="font-size: small;">o</span></span> to deal some massive damage.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Sounds broken, right? Tornadus EXs first attack "Blow Through" does 60 damage if you have a stadium</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> in play. If said stadium is VCG and you have a laser, that's a whole lot of damage for your opponent to recover from during their turn. It was always a shot in the dark getting your Tornadus EX, DCE, and your stadium out in your opening hand but now trying to get another card in Hypnotoxic Laser, that might be tricky</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> but too tempting not to try in a proto-deck.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The good thin<span style="font-size: small;">g about <span style="font-size: small;">attemp<span style="font-size: small;">ting a build with Tornadus <span style="font-size: small;">EX is that there is already an established deck requiring a <span style="font-size: small;">stadium <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">only </span>requiring you <span style="font-size: small;">to switch out Asper<span style="font-size: small;">tia City for VCG.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
