To all the Pokémon TCG fans, we all know that Temporal Forces is coming out soon. But, we don't know what the cards look like, or do we?

Neo Upper Energy is a Special Energy and an ACE SPEC card.

I read the article. Mostly I'm just excited to play Ancient Box. Can't wait. I registered for a regionals in Orlando so maybe I'll get to play it there.

This is what Neo Upper Energy looks like:

What do you guys think Neo Upper Energy will be played in? I think it has potential in Gardie, but I think the other ACE SPECS are more tempting. Also has potential in Zard, but Master Ball, Prime Catcher, and Unfair Stamp are so much more powerful.

I think NUE is the least playable of all the Ace Specs

I mean it is good if set up early

Here’s the thing though.

Notable decks that play stage 2s:

-Gardevoir (once you have a stage 2 attacker setup you have energy acceleration from Gardevoir ex)

-Charizard (your stage 2 attacker supplies itself with energy)

-Chien-Pao (the only stage 2 in the deck accelerates energy)

What currently meta stage 2 deck actually needs NUE? None. So unless this inspires a new stage 2 to become relevant, which is unlikely because there is no great way to search out special energy rn.

Is Chien-Pao even a Stage 2 Pokémon?
