Golem from the Skyridge set is a bit more useable, though not by much. Its Rock Throw is as generic as TCG attacks come, though at least its energy cost is not ridiculous. Golem's Earth Bomb attack, however, is a risky move to use as it is uniquely designed to injure friends as well as f

Its other attack, Mind Shock, lets this powerful Psychic-type hit a foe for a guaranteed 40 damage that does not get affected by Weakness and Resistance. This Pokemon is a great addition to any Psychic decks revolving around high field cont

To win a game of PTCG relying on Trainers and Supporters is usually crucial, and, to make such a paradigm viable, it is important for the player to have those cards in his/her hand. Pokémon trainer Scott allows players to draw up to three cards from their decks in any combination of Stadium and Trainer cards, show it to the opponent, put it in his/her hand, and then shuffle the d

With that in mind, a reason the trading card slg Game Units so famous is that players have the option of winning a game via various means. With cards having special abilities and powers, it is no surprise that PTCG has become so entertaining for fans. One such card that the decks' support is the Trainer Cards, also known as Supporter Ca

Dark Omastar's other attack, Dark Tentacle, can prevent the foe from evolving while it is the Active Pokemon while also doing some damage. A strange strategy, but one that can lock a foe into only using Baby or Basic Poke

It is difficult to imagine Plusle without an accompanying Minun or vice versa, so the original image of the dynamic duo frolicking through the woods of Hoenn is a great one. But SumiPaints's faithful fulfillment of the details transforms the image from great to splendid. Everything from the extra sunbeams being placed due to the original shaded detail on Plusle to the sense of movement given to us by the painted grass, meant to highlight that the pair is moving at a brisk pace. The skill of an artist is found in many facets and attention to detail is certainly one of t

Not guaranteed to hit but when it does, it can even take out an enemy Dark Dragonite. This card also has a great Pokemon Power called Summon Minions, which lets Dark Dragonite's trainer place two Basic Pokemon from the deck to the Bench as reinforceme

Besides the powerful V and VMAX Pokemon cards that are becoming increasingly used in battles, there are still many other strong cards for a Fire-type deck. For example, take a look at a few from the Fusion Strike expansion that was released in November 2

Getting a bit lucky and doing this multiple turns in a row can ravage any foe. Though, if luck is not something a trainer wants to rely on, this shellfish Pokemon's Hydrocannon attack can blow adversaries out of the water with a no-downside maximum damage of 70 HP. For high and consistent damage, versatility, as well as longevity, this Blastoise is the Dark Pokemon with the most promise of doom for a player's enem

Fire-types excel at offense and don't have great defense or recovery, making the kind of playstyle required for a successful fire deck obvious. With heavy-hitting yet energy-expensive attacks, players can one or two-shot many opposing Active Pokemon, though this momentum can be difficult to keep

Volkner’s Philosophy is a Trainer Card that works in a similar manner as the Birch and Bianca Trainer Cards but differs in the sense that it also allows the player to discard a card from his/her hand. It is the perfect card to play after the player has finished a big turn and needs to draw useful cards to setup upcoming pl

One of the more intimidating cards from the Neo Destiny set, Dark Feraligatr can prevent the Pokemon Powers of Baby Pokemon simply by being in play. However, this gator's main strength is its Crushing Blow attack that not only does a great 50 damage but also has half a chance of causing the injured foe to discard one of their energy ca

While there are Trainer Cards in PTCG which are used by themselves, there are some that work best when used in combination, and one such deadly combination is that of Virbank City Gym and Hypnotoxic Laser. While Trainer Cards cannot deal damage in the trading card game, these two cards allow players to device new styles of gameplay, whereby pokémon with low damage potential can also land massive blows and help the player win ga

Dark Omastar from the Neo Destiny expansion is one of the most unique Pokemon in the TCG. Both of its moves involve manipulating the opponent's evolution stage. With Prehistoric Water, this fossil Pokemon can "devolve" the adversary and send its highest stage evolution card into their trainer's d

Fire-types in the Pokemon TCG are known for hitting harder than most, though this method alone can be risky as the best cards and strategies for a fire deck can require a lot of time or energy to pull off. To properly scorch foes, every trainer aiming to fight alongside the flames needs to consider a few things if they want to be success
