Crystal Beach
Modified 3/5 - Although many decks can't take advantage of this,
a deck such as Hariyama ex loves this. You're making life
miserable for decks using Double Rainbow, Scramble, Boost, and
Holon's Energies. If you can make this Stadium stay in play for
a long time, then this card is devastating. However, not many
Pokemon can make this Stadium stay in play for a long time, and
your opponent can play around this Stadium by timing their
Stadiums as they are about to attack to counter.
But I can assure that this card will see play in City
Championships near you, and it is a card to keep in mind when
you're designing your deck.

Crystal Beach from Ex Crystal Guardians.
Crystal Beach can be a very devastating stadium to some
decks. I think it would be a good tech as long as you
don't run any Double Rainbow, Scramble, or Holon Magne/trode/form
in you're deck.

So today we have in
my opinion a very good trianer card in crystal beach
Unlimited: my memory of whats all good in this format is
a bit hazy but i think it covers old school energies
like double colorless....which is good in itself so yeah
being able to make that only one energy is a great
thing......4/5
Modified : in this format it totally rocks, you have
boost energies, double rainbow, those holon pokemon, and
anything else you dont like that gives out more then one
special energy.....the first pokemon i can think of to
use this against is the new venusaur from crystal
guardians and its annoying poke body.....suddenly your
opponent cannot one turn boost you for 30 more damage.
5/5
Limited: Cant really see you getting to much out of it
here.....1/5
well thats that then if you have any questions or just
wanna chat the e-mail is
zoran_217@hotmail.com
I tried to go
on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
but without you all I'm going to be is

Crystal Beach - Use:
This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this
card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another
card with the same name is in play, you can't play this
card.
Each Special Energy card that provides 2 or more Energy
(both yours and your
opponent's) now provides only 1 {C} Energy. This isn't
affected by any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies.
Crystal beach is an intresting new stadium card. It
shuts down Scramble, Boost, DRE, Holon pokemon and
anything that provides more than one energy, but is it
good enough to take 2-4 slots in a deck?
Unlimited: 2/5
Not many stadiums are worth the slots in a deck in
Unlimited anyways and there are usually better trainers
to fill a deck up with. Crystal Beach does
shut down Double Colorless Energy though, which is still
the most broken energy ever made. If people in your area
play haymaker or other decks that abuse DCE, then it
might be fun to plop some of these down to surprise them
=D
Modified: 3/5
Crystal Beach can shut down Holon Pokemon, Boost,
Scramble or DRE, which are
essential to some decks to function properly. Raieggs
and MMS come to mind, but there aren't many other decks
in the metagame at the moment to make this
card useful enough. The usefullness of this card is
completely dependent on the metagame.
If this card came out in last year's format, it would
have been THE answer to LBS =D It came out a set too
late =/
Limited: 1/5
Won't have any use in Limited because all energy cards
that provide more than 1 energy are Uncommon or Rare and
won't come up enough to make this card work. Also, the
only energy that it would work on in CG is DRE, which is
rare, making it completely useless in CG draft.
