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

It also has the attack Psychic Lock, which, at the cost of 1DCE and 1PE, deals 60 damage and locks the opponent from using any Poké-power of their pokémon during their next turn. The card has also been part of the World Championships winning deck in 2008 used by Jason Klaczyn

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

Most of the time, healing is only possible through item card usage, though some Grass-type Pokemon possess the power to regenerate HP. Certain moves grant them health upon specific criteria being met or as the effect of an attack. Ludicolo from the Rebel Clash expansion has a Mega Drain attack that does a substantial 120 damage and also heals them for 30

One aspect of this card that fans might find interesting is that its Crystal Types are Fire, Water, and Electric; the types of the Legendary Beasts Entei, Suicune, and Raikou which Ho-oh is often associated w

There are other butterfly-like Pokemon that have attacks like this as well. Vivillon from the Forbidden Light Expansion has Vivid Powder, an attack that makes the foe Poisoned and Asleep simultaneously while also doing 50 damage. Having a deck full of butterflies sounds cute but could be a deadly strat

When Dark Gyarados gets Knocked Out by an opponent's attack, Final Beam will activate and grant the trainer a special coin flip. If heads, the opposing Pokemon will take 20 damage for each Water-type energy attached to Dark Gyara

Grass Pokemon are some of the most versatile in the series. They can deal out many types of special conditions, recover HP, and stall foes into submission. However, trying to do everything in one deck will leave a player without resources very quickly with many half-implemented strategies. Focusing on a few specific strengths is a better approach for succ

That being said, the trading card SLG Game events is well divided into various types of cards, and one amongst them is the Grass-type. Although it is not a type that is usually associated with powerful Pokémon, it should not be underestimated. While there are many powerful Pokémon cards , the Grass-type has its fair share of impressive beasts. These can easily be regarded as the most powerful Grass-type Pokémon of all t

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

Certain status conditions afflict Pokemon in different ways. Being Paralyzed will force the card to be turned clockwise on the field, Asleep will turn it counter-clockwise, and Confused will set it upside down. These three cannot usually be active at the same time but Pokemon suffering from one of these can also be Poisoned, much like in Butterfree V's att

Dark Gyarados from the Team Rocket set is violence incarnate. Its Ice Beam attack does nice damage and can make a foe Paralyzed, but this card's true might is in its Pokemon Power. Final Beam assures destruction to any adversary wishing to claim the ending blow on this atrocious sea serp

As a Rapid Strike card, this Censtiskorch lives up to its classification pretty well. On the first turn that it is in the Active Pokemon slot, it can use Coil to deal a bit of damage to the opponent as well as to buff itself. Coil will cause Centiskorch's next attack to deal an additional 90 damage. Therefore, if Centiskorch then uses their other move, Burning Train (which has a base damage of 120), this Fire-type Pokemon can slam the foe with 210 damage with no downsides besides a 1-turn buil

It would be a good idea to have a few Fire-type Pokemon that take neutral damage to Water-type attacks, like Talonflame from the Darkness Ablaze expansion (it is instead weak to Lightning-type attacks). Having some Grass-types or Lighning-type Pokemon could also be useful counters, depending on one's deck syne

Scyther from the Jungle expansion is one of the best Generation 1 Pokémon that is a Basic Pokémon with 70 HP, something which was huge for a Basic Pokémon to have at the time of its release. While it might seem funny in the present, this card was uniquely powerful at the time of its rele

Belonging to the Dragons Exalted expansion Mew EX sports 120 HP and is a Basic Psychic-type pokémon. With abilities Versatile and Replace, this Psychic-type pokémon is one of the most powerful in the P
