Here's another card with good versatility. Crobat from the Skyridge set has a hazardous attack called Poison Flame, which can put the opposing Active Pokemon in a tight spot as it can leave them Burned and Poisoned following a single coin f
However, Benched pokemon are not safe either as the Cross Break GX attack can slam up to 2 Benched adversaries with 170 damage each if the trainer has played N's Resolve that turn. Worth noting that N's Resolve gives the player a chance to attach milled energy cards from their deck to this legendary draconic pair , further fueling Fabled Flarebo
Golisopod GX is a Stage 1 Pokémon belonging to the Burning Shadows expansion with a massive 210 HP, as well as a trio of brilliant attacks. The first attack is First Impression, which deals a base damage of 30, but has the potential of dealing 90 more damage, if this Pokémon becomes the active Pokémon during the ongoing turn, for the cost of only one ene
Legendary Pokemon are usually extremely powerful , though this is not always the case. Lugia, also from the Aquapolis expansion, proves this with its relatively low HP and mediocre attacks. Its Psychic can be useful against foes loaded with energy cards, though its Steam Blast attack can only realistically be used a couple of times before it becomes a burden to the trainer's energy ne
Rolling Thunder is also pretty good in that it deals decent damage and has the potential to hit all of the opposing team's Benched Pokemon for 10 HP each while landing 50 damage on the Active enemy. However, there is a coin flip involved that can lead to the user's own Benched Pokemon taking the stray bolts of this attack, therefore this move should be used with a bit of caut
Full Blitz lets them deal decent damage while stacking themselves, or an ally, with more Lightning Energies. On the next turn, if one attached the 3 new energy cards to this duo, the trainer can unpack Tag Bolt GX for huge damage against the foe's Active pokemon as well as one of their Benched monst
Vileplume has been a hugely powerful Pokémon in its various iterations over the years, including cards like Vileplume EX, Dark Vileplume, and Vileplume belonging to the Undaunted expansion. These were effective cards to use when planning to shut off Trainer and Item Ca
The Sword & Shield expansion has a Rillaboom card with such an Ability. This card's Voltage Beat lets their trainer pull two grass energy cards from their deck and attach them to any of their Pokemon. Getting more energies onto a team can mean that more powerful attacks are able to unleash quicker. This strategy works well with many others, acting as a quick way to fuel one's powerhouse ca
This is another excellent way to lock down a foe. While they are sleeping, the player can inflict damage upon them with near-impunity. Abomasnow , also from the Rebel Clash expansion, can even put foes to sleep while doing 80 damage with Soothing Scent. No coin flip requi
This makes playing a Crystal Pokemon quite a challenge and can hinder certain cards enough to be virtually ignored aside from the collection aspect of the TCG . Kingdra from the Aquapolis set is one such card. They are tied for the highest HP for all Crystal Pokemon, yet their costly and lackluster attacks make them virtually unusa
Mega cards are usually not very powerful, but, when it comes to Mega Tyranitar EX, the story is absolutely different. This 240 HP pokémon is known to deal some of the highest damage counters in the history of PTCG . Its primary attack is Destroyer King, which has a base damage of 110 but deals additional damage of 60 for every damage counter that has been placed on the opponent’s active poke
Things work a bit differently in the Pokemon TCG compared to the games or anime. There are 18 types of Pokemon overall but these get compressed into 11 types for the Digital tcg meta. This means that some TCG types are combinations of multiple groups. Grass-type includes almost all Grass and Bug Pokemon as well as quite a few Poison Pokemon from Generation One up until Generation Th
These boxes not only provide a stylish storage space for the newly opened Pokemon goods : they also include unique card sleeves, competitive play dice and damage counters, a bundle of Energy Cards, a rulebook, a player's guide to the expansion, and special dividers for the box itself. The Shining Fates Elite Trainer Box will feature a unique Eevee VMAX foil promo card, which also serves as the inspiration for the set's packaging design. The card sleeves and box itself will feature a black-on-gold Eevee VMAX des
With assisting Pokémon like Mew and Dusknoir, Accelgor becomes even more powerful, forcing the defending Pokémon to be stuck in the active place, while dealing significant damages to the opponent’s be
Virizion EX is a Basic Pokémon with 170 HP and belongs to the Black & White - Plasma Blast expansion of the franchise. This ultra-rare card boasts of a powerful ability Verdant Wind, which protects each of the player’s Pokémon that has a grass energy-card attached to it from being affected by any Special Condition. If Special Conditions are already imposed on any Pokémon of the player with grass energy attached to it, this ability removes them instan
