The ten Pokemon advancing into the Finals from the Semifinal round's first group are Tyranitar, Charizard, Typhlosion, Suicune, Ho-oh, Articuno, Zapdos, Origin Giratina, Gengar and Gardevoir. Gardevoir, Alakazam, Swampert and Moltres were deadlocked for most of the week but Gardevoir just pulled through with an average that was 0.01 higher than the rest of that foursome. 14th and 15th place went to Gallade and Empoleon, respectively.
Round 3's second group is now up for voting here. Once again, the ten Pokemon with the highest averages out of the next group of thirty will join Group 1's ten advancing Pokemon in the final round in two weeks.
Additionally, I went ahead and updated the DeckDex with the cards from the Supreme Victors expansion set that was released in North America last Wednesday (the 19th). Supreme Victors features the Platinum Frontier Brains and their Pokemon. The next English TCG expansion, Platinum: Arceus, comes out at the beginning of November and will introduce cards of the final Sinnoh Pokemon, the eponymous Arceus, to the game.
Dang the only 5 that made it 2 the finals was Ho-oh, and only 5 of the other 9 r non-legendary, but if a legendary does win, Ho-oh is one of the best contenders.
