With the release of this set, Pokémon debuted several new Pokémon ex, including Mew ex, Alakazam ex, and the original Kanto starters, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

What do you guys think of these cards? I think Bill’s Transfer gives us a little bit of hope of playing Stage-2 Pokémon where you can search for multiple Pokémon although the mechanism is revealing the top deck. The Nido-pair also seems to be a solid attacker where you can attack with Nidoking with no Energy when Nidoqueen is present on the Bench.
