not a line of evolutions but deoxys is very special to me for reasons, can you rank those cards? im sure they have more than one (at least I hope they do….)

OHHHHHHH I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK FOR THIS ONE

you have no idea how hard so many deoxys cards go. looking through these for the rankings has given me a new appreciation for deoxys i did not previously have.

btw these don't have to be families, absolutely feel free to ask for solo mons. just know that if you ask for a pokemon that's part of an evolution family i will absolutely do the entire evolution family, i'm not singling one out*

ANYWAY TIME FOR CRAZY COOL DEOXYS CARDS

Pokemon Card of the Day #3000: Flygon δ (Holon Phantoms)

It took me quite some time to figure out the best card for 3,000 since Holon's Castform had already been done for a milestone and I didn't want to use the exact same Pokemon. It took some writing of something else with a friend (hi Ruby!) to get me to a conclusion here. Flygon δ was the center of a deck that just piled in all sorts of Delta Species Pokemon, and with the concept being so interesting and the variety all over, Flygon δ was one of those cards that people were just going to find a way to use well eventually. And, seeing that this was legal in the wide-open format of 2007, it had some success.

110 HP was actually quite good for a single Prize Stage 2 back then, and while you weren't likely to be stacking Metal Energy onto it to boost that bulk too much in its style of deck, it would be very likely to take a hit, and occasionally more depending on the match-up and point in the game it was. Games did move more slowly on average back then than they do today. The Colorless Weakness was notable, with it being most important against Flygon ex (the normal one, not the Delta Species... welcome to that format I talked about) and Delcatty and its ex, and Crystal Shard being available could turn any deck into a threat against this if it was teched in. There was also a really cool double resistance to Lightning and Fighting here. This was great in a world with plenty of Fighting-types around to try to take advantage of that very common Weakness in the format, and also provided some cushion against Dragonite δ, Rayquaza ex δ, and Electivire. The Retreat Cost here was 2, and could be kind of awkward as fitting switching cards into a deck built around this wasn't the easiest thing in the world.

Delta Supply was the type of Poke-Power that decks were built around. Once during your turn, you could attach a basic Energy or a δ Rainbow Energy from your hand to 1 of your Pokemon with δ on the card. It was blocked if Flygon δ had a Special Condition on it, which could be notable every once in a while if Active and up against something like Flareon ex but usually it was fine. This was just an extra Energy attachment and made it easy to get more on the board or to set up for a single turn Holon's Castform attachment. This Poke-Power opened up almost any δ Pokemon to being used with it. Some of the most common included Flygon ex δ, Exeggutor δ, Rayquaza ex δ, Mew δ, and Nidoqueen δ, but you could play around with all kinds of things here.

Swift was a decent attack doing 60 damage and ignoring Weakness, Resistance, Poke-Powers, Poke-Bodies, and other effects on the Defending Pokemon. A Grass, a Metal, and a Colorless Energy would have been a far more awkward attack cost if it wasn't on a Pokemon with Delta Supply, but it was pretty solid due to that. The main issue with the attack is that you'd often want to attack with your other Pokemon instead, which usually had a higher ceiling. Flygon δ could go on the offense if needed, especially if you could build more of them on the Bench.

Flygon δ was the center of one of the more interesting decks the game has seen, providing extra Energy attachments, including Special Energy, to any δ Pokemon around. With the off-type Pokemon idea being so interesting (something we're finally seeing again in a different way currently), the number of options from 4 sets of these sorts of Pokemon, a Pokemon that helped set up and work as Energy in Holon's Castform, and an entire Trainer engine to work with, it was no wonder that Flygon was successful. The deck could be hard to play, so it took some time to get used to what to do, but once you got there it was a fun one indeed.

Time for another batch of TCG ranking requests! This one was a Ko-Fi request, they initially asked for Togepi family but I've already done that one, so they asked for the Flygon family instead!
