Pojo's Pokemon Card of the Day

Sorry, we don't
have this card.

Great Ball


Date Reviewed: 9.02.04

Ratings & Reviews below

Ratings are based on a 1 to 5 scale
1 being the worst.  3 ... average.  
5 is the highest rating.

Jermy101 Great Ball is a replacement for Dual Ball in most modified decks.  Getting any basic from your deck is a good deck thinner too.

Unlimited - I would rather use Pokemon Fan Club.  Plus fan club can get ex pokemon. 1/5

Modified - Most decks will still need dunsparce, but a few can get by with great balls. 3/5

Limited - Yes take it, you need all the search you can get in this format. 4/5

 
Johnny Blaze Great Ball – Great Balls of Fire. Sorry I had to do that. Once the Wotc get rotated out will this trainer fill slots into decks? I think so here is why. Search your deck for a basic, excluding EX’s, and put it on your bench. Sure Dunsparce can get 3. But with Great Ball being a non-supporter you can possible play 4 and get away with it. Tech in only 1 Basic? Then Great Ball it out your deck. Actually there is really no drawback in using Great Ball other than it takes up room on your roster for cards.

Unlimited: 3/5 – I actually like this card in Unlimited. With the 1st turn Rare Candy ruling just Great Ball out a Slowpoke and viola Slowking 1st turn. You get the picture.

Modified: 4/5 – Any basic (non-EX) out on 1st turn that you need (assuming you are holding a GB) is just awesome. No more losing by not having enough Basics. GB is great also in a swarm deck.

Limited: 5/5 – GB is best used in this format. Get any basic out. Usually the rarity of the Nintendo packs I have been with like 2 Venomoths and only 1 Venonant. What is up with that? Anyway just Great Bal out the basic that you are holding the evo.
