They were added as an expansion to the EX mechanic in X & Y to reflect the games' Mega Evolution theme
I just wanted to drag you out for some help because I knew you had the card, and I wanted to confirm my cards authenticity since I recently purchased it (them technically, since I got the entire set)
The problem is, even a 2-color burn deck often has gold cards, which doesnt solve the problem against protection from red at all
4 1st Edition, Shadowless, or Unlimited For vintage Pokemon cards from 1999-2000, the print run makes a huge difference
The Shadowless version is considered rarer and more valuable than the later versions of the same card because it was part of the initial print run before this design change was made
Selling was a fair and enjoyable experience
