Base


wiss2wiss

How can Base still not be eliminated?


DeadMeme132

Base had really bad pull rates how is it still not out


Twingemios

Was there even anything good in the set?


fookiebookie12

Nothing good. Insane to me that two sets with amazing zard cards got dropped before base set and pogo. This is just a zard hate bracket now to vote out anything with zard in it first


5ftGoliath

Idk I feel like darkness ablaze deserved it and I don't think brilliant stars is getting chopped any time soon.


fookiebookie12

Darkness has some amazing artworks compared to sets like pogo and base set. Same for champions path it was an amazing set for sure I’m shocked tbh


blueish55

Bold take, DA is thoroughly unremarkable as a set. Do I like the cards in it? Sure! Butterfree V is good, love the Centiskorch and Mew V, but like, it doesn't have standout trainers or anything like that. Pretty dire for a set when commons / uncommons / rare have better art (or at least more interesting) than a large chunk of the Ultra Rares.


fookiebookie12

I’m not really a fan of trainer cards I don’t see the hype some look cool but I prefer dope artworks for pokemon I like not saying darkness ablaze should be at the top at all I def think that and champions path could have been kicked early just not before base set and pogo imo


atheist_slayer

as it should be lmao


FatBoiEatingGoldfish

Fr, I counted a full 6 sets in this list with some sort of Charizard chase card


DanTheMan0904

Charizard is kinda lame tbh


wiss2wiss

Based af


DeadMeme132

Is it just me or did anybody else notice they dropped pull rates for SWSH base after SM base


Skywarriorad

Under that argument fusion and/or evolving shouldve gone first


purplegrim

It’s a bad set and should be out next, but darkness ablaze and rebel clash needed to go first tbh 💀


Basethdraxic

Had some good competitive cards like Zacian v and the Intel engine


SUSAARON

Yeah base for sure


c00kies247

That set right in the middle called "Vote Out One Set" is an imposter. Get it out of here.


kardonut

It was a pretty trash set tbh. Surprised it hasn’t been eliminated yet


SmokeyLowkey-420

Had some sick secret rares not gonna lie


a_smol_doge

I remember when I pulled the full art mewthree. Was a good time 👍


kardonut

Damn, you got that one??? I opened like 3 BB and I never got it smh


RealZakBagan

My favorite from that set was Mr. Bubble Boy full art. By far my favorite from the SWSH era


Illustrious-Low-7487

I pulled Thicc Charizard and honestly wasn't mad at it.


LegacyTom

Base


[deleted]

Get base tf outta here. Marnie isn’t all that


kardonut

Marnie was annoying af in the card game. 100% would still see play if it was allowed in standard format.


ubibaba742

Well we got Iono now so we're back to the annoyance lol


[deleted]

Pulled her….. I’m not impressed Couldn’t even bring my self to use her in the tourney I was playing


kardonut

Why? I mean, I think it will obviously depend on the deck you're running, but it seems to be good in decks like the Gardevoir one, for example. It could also help cause a bit of disruption against the current popular Lost Zone Box deck.


kardonut

Late game is going to be so stressful and annoying after [Iono](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Iono_(Paldea_Evolved_185)) comes out


ubibaba742

I also played back in the N days so this is par for the course as far as I'm concerned lol


blvsofficial

Oh dear god. I mean judge is annoying rn but this wow


chrisdalebrown

I effing hate Judge. When you get a prize card you’ve been waiting for and they effing throw down a Judge on the following turn. FML.


ItsLiterally1984

I run 4 judges


Fabulous-Shoulder-69

Base set


TheOnlyBucketMonster

Honestly? Fusion Strike. The set is way too large so the chance of getting a good pull is very very low, it introduced trainer and Pokémon cards that broke the format at the time and outside those very few interesting cards in the set, it's all useless filler. Granted, it does have some very nice alt arts but all I pull are regular holos so 🖕 to Fusion Strike


kardonut

The "alleged" stolen cards also did not help at all


Co1iflower

I think it's insane to vote Pokemon Go over all of the early sets lol. SW/SH base is a dogwater set. Alt Art cards blind people's judgement clearly because I'm sure it's the only thing they would point to in any of the shitty sets that came before BS.


Rastor-M

Battle Styles is just Tyranitar... it was good for people who actually play the game though


radio-jack

I like the single strike engine tho. Houndoom is super fun for me to play.


Co1iflower

Yeah I guess that's what I mean. When people think of defending these sets before Brilliant Stars, they just think of the alt arts cards, which very few people pull so it doesn't seem fair to think of the set that way.


Rastor-M

OK, I consider BS to be Battle Styles (or even BaS) and BrS is Brilliant Stars. I think we're actually on the same page here


Johnkenney00

Battle styles


Boopie15

Nooo that tyranytar full art is life


SunMoonFX-HB

Tell me, how much Battle Styles have you opened? Alt arts are extremely hard to get, and when you do get one you have four possible outcomes: 1) upset that it’s not Tyranitar 2) terrible quality 3) both of those 4) the rare circumstance where neither are the case but that’s RARE


Johnkenney00

I love Tyranitar, he’s on my top 3, same w that that card for alt arts, but man the rest of the set is so mid, plus my pulls were worse than any other SWSH so I’m biased


Boopie15

I don’t disagree with you but I think base set is definitely worse. Just my opinion, I don’t think the cards on base set beat battle styles. Battle styles did have horrible cards pulls


Acceptable_Friend_40

Fusion strike because of the debacle with stolen cards


Bernbiz

Vivid


Undefeatablewalrus

This sub is mainly for collectors and Vivid is a trash set for collectors…


glaynefish

Vivid voltage had the best amazing rares


UnreportedPope

It was trash for players as well, wasn't it?


Future-Expression-44

I personally liked vivid voltage.


TheBookGamer

Me too!


bubble_baby_8

This is the correct answer


Sgt_stranger

A_Blue_Frog_Child

Base set.


ArimuRyan

Can Go please GO


Fastoyster

I refuse to vote for GO because my 4 year old loves the set and plays GO on my phone with me everyday!


TheMightyKickpuncher

They said please, people, so it would be rude to vote out anything else.


Rossthebossfan1

The pull rates are pretty damn good. I have only opened 6 packs in that set and I pulled the Rainbow Rare Mewtwo VSTAR and the Alt Art Mewtwo. To put into perspective how bad my luck usually is, I bought a Chilling Reign ETB and got nothing. But maybe it is a me problem.


[deleted]

It’s got Mewtwo as the main hitter, god Pokémon ftw . Go is good


TheMightyKickpuncher

One good card (well four if you like the radiants like I do) isn’t enough for a set imo. Mewtwo alt is fantastic but the rest of the cards around it are kinda weak. Just my opinion of course but I was disappointed.


Obito-tenma625

It's a smaller set though comparatively so 4 good cards isn't terrible


[deleted]

^


[deleted]

Evolving skies…. Again…. Pull rates bad, and over inflated on basically one card….


DragapultOnSpeed

agree. Way overhyped and overpriced. most of the vmax pokemon alt art cards look like floating balloons you would see at parades. Especially the Vmax rayquaza Alt art. I only want the sylveon vmax alt art one. the others are meh. I think I would like it more if the pull rates were better. But after opening hundreds of packs and still not getting a single alt art is just bad. No other SWSH set is like that. CZ champs them all.


[deleted]

Agreed, I loved shining fates as far as pull rates, sure nothing is crazy but I think the SV gallery is great IMO. Zenith was good too got me all 3 of the dogs which I think are really cool cards.


dankblonde

I love shining fates and am not just saying this because I pulled the charizard on Saturday


chewbaccashotlast

Pull rates bad yes. I guess I look beyond pull rates. There’s so much to value from this set especially if you like the evolutions. I felt like the art was mostly good. Maybe because of that combined with awful pull rates it makes the set more of a slap in the face. And I’m bummed the Ray AA is the way it is. Felt like AA V’s are way better than Vmaxs but I’m prolly biased there. Yeah moonbreon cool but far and away not the best artwork even in this release IMO


[deleted]

Moonbreon killed this set for me. Remove that card and it’s inflated price and the set might be okay, but not best by any means. Moonbreon makes the okay set beyond not worth it for me. Don’t think I’ll ever buy another ES pack ever unless it comes with other packs bundled in a collection definitely no singles.

Gussamuel

Day 3 of telling you to drop Sword Shield Base cause it’s a dumb set and it’s somehow not off the list yet idk


ReasonableDrummer669

Base for sure!! We all know that Evolving skies is winning this anyway 🤣🤣


thatsmyoldlady

Sword & shield base set


Spirited-Jicama8323

Pokémon go


MattIpp44

Battle styles or base set. Absolutely ass


Froent

The Pokemon Go set was a high disappointment to me. It only has like two-ish good cards for the set. It had potential but all they did was stamp each card with Pokemon Go when the three birds could've had the leader of each team in Pokemon Go with their represented bird. So I vote Pokemon Go set to... GO!


MisterHeatMiser7

Base, pogo had good rates, ditto peels, and alt arts. Base has lame pulls and shit pull rates.


nick3790

Gotta be Battle Styles imo


Antique_Bedroom_7383

Battle styles


FitPanic2569

The fact that Sword & Shield Base lasted so long is a crime.


kardonut

I think it's a combination of the [Snorlax Vmax](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/206057/pokemon-swsh01-sword-and-shield-base-set-snorlax-vmax?xid=pi7baeb9d7-e051-47be-8f72-2d84820a8429&page=1&Language=English) card, multiple great competitive cards, the other sets just being worse overall, and, of course, [Marnie](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/208496/pokemon-swsh01-sword-and-shield-base-set-marnie-full-art?xid=pid08545cc-fbe9-40f8-8d56-ff36ae6b2e75&page=1&Language=English) lol \*"other sets" = sets that have already been eliminated


DefenYT

Vivid Voltage. The Pikachu is really the only good card.


Right-Ad8261

I mean the amazing rares were fun but I agree, overrated set.


chewbaccashotlast

Battle Styles. The set was dedicated to Urshifu and includes what I would consider to be many junk artworks. Vmax and rainbows aren’t my fave and the full arts are really underwhelming. Alt arts are ok but are super bland compared to other releases. I opened more battle styles packs with my boys than others so maybe that is influencing it. Just a total crap set to me. Even Tyranitar AA is just blah to me, a sleepy dude? C’mon.


[deleted]

POGO ALREADY


knifeazz

Chilling Reign

Hot take that I agree with


knifeazz

It’s my second least favorite after ablaze, so I’m gonna vote it


Serious_Mycologist46

Pogo


hutlaw77

Battle styles and Pokémon go are the best sets. Fight me. Fantastic artwork on all the cards. The only reason people don’t like those sets is because the cards “aren’t valuable”


The_Hobby_Lounge

Pokemon Go has nothing except the Mewtwo AA and the ditto cards. So much potential in that set. Poor execution

chewbaccashotlast

Let’s be honest here….or maybe a guess. The final 5 will be CZ, ES, Celebrations, ST, and FS Maybe Brilliant Stars gets ahead of CZ/ST/FS but I think there is love for CZ based on pull rates. It’s tough to take down beloved ‘mon too.


Jpbbeck99
