Using sniping techniques and cards like Team Magma’s Secret Base, Mega Tyranitar EX can easily deal damages exceeding 760 to the opponent, given there are adequate damage counters placed on the defending pokemon. Furthermore, it has an Ancient Trait known as Theta Double, which allows two Tool Cards to be attached to this pokémon. Using cards like Muscle Band, Lucky Helmet, or Float Stone, the player can initiate extra dr

As fans of the TCG are likely well aware , there is strong favoritism shown toward Charizard cards in many different expansions. The Skyridge set is no exception, as it was released with another mighty flame Pokemon to add to the ranks of Charizard cards across the franch

Water types have "Plus" energy attacks, moves with a plus sign to the right of the damage number. These kinds of moves get a flat bonus to their damage output for water energy, and they mostly only exist on water type cards. The Wailord card from the Vivid Voltage expansion is a great example of this. Even though it takes a total of 4 energy to unleash their Hydro Pump attack, it will always deal massive damage when launched. The base 10 damage plus the optimal attachment of 4 water energy results in a 170 damage assault that has no negative downside for the u

This amounts to 30 damage every turn for very quick damage over time compared to similar moves from other Pokemon. Crobat's Squared Attack should not be ignored either, as it can do a maximum of 80 damage to an adversary with some good fort

The attack is perfect for players who are using a non-GX deck, as this ability known as Foul Play, allows the player to use any of the attacks that the defending pokemon has, which includes GX attacks. Furthermore, the player only forfeits a single Prize Card to use Zoroark BREAK, making it hugely effective and economi

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

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

This finishing blow will take some time to set up, even with energy search cards, however, the Grass-typing of this Ultra Beast duo grants trainers some great ways to build up energy relatively quickly. Pokemon cards of this type sometimes carry abilities that can attach energy cards from one's deck, hand, or Dead Space Remake discard pile to an ally with little to no effort, so a Grass deck themed around this should be able to bring out Pheromosa & Buzzwole's true potent

These fierce companions were released in the Unified Minds expansion and are a great card for any Dragon-type deck fueled by Psychic and Fighting energy. The Linear Attack is not remarkable by itself but opens up the foe to the effects of Calamitous Slash, which deals an extra 80 damage to injured foes on top of the base 160 dam

In 2003, Nintendo released an e-reader device that could attach to the Game Boy Advance to allow players to scan special cards to enhance gameplay and add cool features to certain games. Crystal Pokemon were a type of card created specifically for this peripheral, though they could also function as cards in physical decks. Since the Pokemon TCG 's e-card series ended over a decade ago, Crystal Pokemon have become some of the rarest cards on the planet, though not all are equal. Some of these Crystal Pokemon are better to have in a battle than others due to their mightier mo

Shadow Room, on the other hand, deals damage of 30 on the opponent’s pokémon, and, if the defending pokémon happens to have a Poké-Power, the damage immediately increases to 60. Poltergeist is the most insane, allowing players to view the opponent's hand, and based on the number of Trainer, Stadium, and Supporter cards they have, this attack deals damage of 30 times the number of those cards in the opponent’s hand, making way for absurd knocko

It is a normal attack as well, so, unlike Pokemon GX attacks, it can be used repeatedly. This kind of move, usually called "Hydro Pump", has been seen on water type pokemon cards since some of the earliest sets featuring the very first water starter line . Blastoise was the original user of this watery weapon, though variants have flourished since its incept

Reshiram & Zekrom from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion can ravage an opposing team and even has some compatibility with a certain Supporter card. Their normal attack, Fabled Flarebolts, require them to discard a fair number of Energies, though at the maximum potential can unleash 270 damage on the Active
