Despite being the only common-rarity card in the entire Neo Destiny expansion set, this friendly flower is one of the best. Its Reflected Sunlight move allows its trainer to load up any ally Grass-type Pokemon with twice as much grass energy as usual in a single turn, which can make setting up for big attacks much quicker and eas
A powerful starter, Yveltal is perfect for setting up, and, therefore, it proves to be a powerful addition to any Dark deck. Belonging to the XY-Steam Siege expansion, this Yveltal has an attack known as Oblivion W
Though fans won't be able to find booster packs until February 19th, the Shining Fates set has already been released in the form of the Blastoise and Venusaur V "Battle Decks." Starter/theme decks are often available from the very first day a new expansion releases, as they allow players to quickly enter battle with a pre-crafted deck consisting of mostly, if not all, cards from the new expans
As one would expect from the adorable card art, Light Jolteon has some great protective traits. Its Pulse Guard prevents any damage of 30 or more done to it, essentially making Light Jolteon immune to hard-hitting attacks and significantly increasing its longevity. However, this move does not protect the card from special conditions like being Poisoned or Confu
Vanilluxe has an ability called Bitter Cold that lets their trainer flip a coin free of cost (save for having Vanilluxe in their active pokemon slot) that can make the opposing active pokemon Paralyzed. Having an ability to do the freezing leaves Vanilluxe able to attack with the 90 damage Frost Smash that only requires 2 energy. In two or three turns, given good draws, one can go from a no-energy Vanillite to a full-power Vanilluxe that acts essentially like a living blizz
Slowking is a Basic pokémon with 80 HP that belongs to the Neo Genesis expansion. While it does have an ability called Mind Blast, the most relevant ability of this card is its Poké-power Mind Games. Upon putting Mind Games into effect, the opponent needs to flip a coin every time he/she plays a Trainer Card, and, if it lands on heads, the Trainer has no effect and needs to be replaced at the top of the opponent’s d
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
However, in such a manner it is also possible to overextend oneself. Though this is less of a problem for certain water pokemon in the TCG because they get exponentially more powerful as they gain energy as opposed to most pokemon who only get additively stronger. They can also paralyze foes as well as string together some cool combos. Water type decks are all about manipulating energy, as well as possibly stunning the opponent's pokemon, while utilizing unique secondary strategies for an unpredictable and appropriately fluid offense. Much like a rogue wave that the enemy won't see coming until it crashes down upon t
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
In the universe of PokéMon Tcg Pocket 24 Hourglasses Distribution Trading Card Game, part of the Pokémon franchise, few can boast of the astounding abilities that Psychic pokémon are known to have. This type is commonly associated with the ones that belong to the elite echelons of the Pokémon world, as many legendary pokémon are usually found to have Psychic traits. These pokémon are great in a team and provide helpful assistance to either themselves or the other pokémon in the t
During the launch of the main Generation 2 Pokemon games, the TCG released related cards in the Neo Destiny expansion that reflected the direction the franchise was heading. With a heavier focus on the morality of trainers and how Pokemon are treated by NPCs in-game, two new groups were establis
Strategies involving different cards can be found among all types, though there are some especially cool ones seen in the more recent expansions. In the Vivid Voltage set, there is a Cramorant card that can do 60 damage multiplied by how many Arrokuda cards are discarded from the bench. Since Cramorant is a basic pokemon, it can be played immediately, making it a great lead pokemon due to its sufficient 110 HP. Their Continuous Gulp Missile costs 2 energy of any type, making it very quick to set up. With one of the common Double Colorless Energy cards, this move can potentially be used on the first turn that Cramorant is act
