>>23042320if you can get your hands on two, i would wholeheartedly recommend the archies/empoleon variant of night march over the flareon/leafeon variant. 2 empoleon 1 archies. there are lists online everywhere at this point. even though you're just starting out, it isn't too hard for night march to pull off and it's a whole lot more fun than mindlessly playing down your hand and hitting the draw 7 button.
only get the red genesect collection if you absolutely need the trainers, want (cheap looking) holo grass/psychic, and the promo genesect (i teched 2 today for vs toad, wouldn't recommend it...)
if you're interested in flareon/leafeon and have a bit more cash to drop, just try your hand at the flareon archetype. it's much easier to play now compared to any other point in time. (get in soon on this, because plasma freeze is discontinued and everyone wants flareon and exeggutor stuff)

there's some wicked hard toad counters coming from team aqua

just buy the playable singles (or trade) and save for emerald break
