Pokemon Card of the Day #3197: Eevee & Snorlax-GX (Team Up)

Eevee and Snorlax-GX, while a somewhat odd combination of Pokemon that would become rather typical of the era, had some interesting attacks. It was good at punishing anything that evolved and had a GX attack that could get a huge hand refreshment. These attacks required a ton of Energy, so you had to accelerate to it. The nature of this meant that you had to pair this with something that was going to have said acceleration quickly, had a Pokemon that could attack well on its own but would like the backup, and something that could sometimes run lower on cards to maximize a potential draw at the right time. This typically meant running this in a Fire deck, and only in SUM-On because that was where a good amount of Evolved Pokemon at under 240 HP were still common.

270 HP was where you'd want a Tag Team to be at, and that was a lot of bulk to get through. Its main job was to be a huge pain to things like Zoroark-GX, which couldn't even KO it in 2 hits without some help. The Fighting Weakness could potentially come into play a little, as while the type had fallen off quite a bit, Lycanroc-GX was a Stage 1 that could actually hit really hard. The Retreat Cost here was 4, meaning you did have to be careful here. Getting ahead on Prizes meant an unprepared Eevee & Snorlax-GX was easy bait for anything like a Counter Catcher, or at any point a Custom Catcher.

Cheer Up was an attack that did no damage for a Colorless Energy, but it did let you attach an Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Pokemon. You could use this if you didn't have anything better to do, but you'd normally want something else up front if you didn't get stuck starting with this. It was, at least, better than nothing on turn 1 if you were going second.

Dump Truck Press started at 120 damage, but it cost 4 Energy. The price was too steep unless you had the second effect. That effect involved doing 120 more damage if the opponent's Active Pokemon was an Evolution Pokemon. This meant a KO on the top choices out of those in the SUM-On format, including Zoroark-GX and Persian-GX. The issue was that any Basic Pokemon, including Tag Teams, were taking a lot less, so it was a huge match-up play. In the right match-up, it was great, but it was kind of stuck in one format.

Megaton Friends GX had some good moments. It was costly, as 4 Colorless Energy meant you were still leaning on Welder a lot here, and it was your one GX attack. That being said, you did 210 damage which was usually enough for the role being played here, and you also drew cards until you had 10 in your hand. This set you up nicely for your next turn as well as long as you didn't immediately get hit by a Judge. Usually you'd be okay though, and even if not it tended to force that play instead of a different Supporter.

Eevee & Snorlax-GX was a backup option in Reshiram & Charizard decks for the most part. Reshiram & Charizard-GX performed rather well against a lot of things, but Eevee & Snorlax-GX cleaned up Stage 1 Pokemon so well that it was often brought along too. Having a copy or two was reasonably common until the game shifted almost entirely to Tag Teams, and while a few Evolved Pokemon came back later in the Sword & Shield era it never found a great home partly due to higher HP numbers. It sure had a few good months, though, at least in that one deck.

Pokemon Card of the Day Schedule: Team Up

Team Up was one of the more important sets the game had seen. It brought a new concept to the game: Pokemon that gave up 3 Prizes when Knocked Out. These new Pokemon were Tag Team Pokemon, which were always Basic Pokemon that had huge stats, strong attacks, and featured 2-3 Pokemon on the card. Despite giving up half a game worth of Prizes, Tag Team Pokemon immediately reached the top of the game, and became the focus of a large number of decks for a long time. One in this set, Pikachu & Zekrom-GX, was even good for quite a while after the next generation of cards came out. This was also the first set to be legal through the first half of 2021, so there was plenty of time to make an impact.

While the Tag Teams (mostly Pikachu & Zekrom-GX, though some like Eevee & Snorlax and Gengar & Mimikyu had roles as well) got the spotlight, the set was not lacking for other types of cards. Zapdos was the star of its own deck for a while despite being a single Prize Basic Pokemon, and Tapu Koko Prism star helped make this the second straight set to really boost Lightning as a type. Control decks found help with Pidgeotto and occasionally even Zebstrika, and Jirachi was one of the best set-up Pokemon the game had ever seen. There were also a few good Trainers in the mix, making Team Up a very notable set even beyond the new gimmick it brought to the game.
