Reshiram & Charizard began burning up the scene when this card was released with the Unbroken Bonds expansion. Their Flare Strike attack, although it cannot be used on consecutive turns, can sufficiently scorch foes. During turns when they can't, they can use Outrage instead, which increases in damage as Reshiram & Charizard lose health, potentially doing a maximum of 290. Last but not least, their Double Blaze GX move can decimate the opposing pokemon's HP with 300 damage, which is enough to knock out most adversaries in a single t

Belonging to the Ancient Origins expansion, Mega Ampharos EX is an extremely offensive-minded card in PTCG that is capable of creating one-hit-knock-out scenarios with its powerful attack Exavolt, all for the cost of one electric and 1DCE. While Exavolt might also deal 30 damage to Mega Ampharos EX if used to its maximum capability, it also guarantees damage of 170 to the opponent's active pokémon, as well as the promise of paralyzing

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.

Pale Moon GX is even stronger in that it knocks out the adversary's Active pokemon upon the end of their next turn. If played with the additional energy requirement, it can prevent that Defending pokemon from retreating, ensuring their dem

Their Ultimate Ray is an excellent way to do damage while simultaneously attaching energy cards from the deck directly onto one's Benched pokemon. And their GX attack, Altered Creation, increases damage done by their trainer's pokemon for the rest of the battle; a serious buff that can start things off to one's advant

One of the major reasons behind the Pokémon TCG amassing such craze is the dynamic nature of gameplay that it promises. The various card types that players get to choose from is definitely a contributing factor to it. While there are many powerful grass type pokémon , or dark type pokémon , there exists yet another type that boasts of impressive and powerful pocket monsters. This type is none other than the Lightning type, also known as the Electric t

This is another condition that does not go away by itself and can force a foe to hurt themselves on their own turn, combining insult and injury. Butterfree V from the Darkness Ablaze expansion turns foes on themselves easily with a low-cost Dizzying Poison, which also applies the Poisoned condition to t

Zapdos, the legendary first-generation pokémon, has found a suitable card in this one belonging to the XY-Roaring Skies expansion. Equipped with an adequate 120 HP, Zapdos is a brilliant card that can be used as a carry pokémon as well as a support, something which is rare for PTCG cards. While its primary attack, Drill Peck, is quite weak, dealing damage of only 20, it can prove to be the little difference between winning and losing during the final rounds of the g

Although not a hugely powerful pokemon, Mega Sharpedo EX is powerful enough to deal adequate damage if played in the correct setup. Capable of dealing 120 damage, this 210 HP pokémon can additionally deal extra damage of 10 to all of the opponent’s benched pokemon based on the retreat cost that they h

The low energy costs of both moves grant Naganadel & Guzzlord great viability in dual Psychic and Darkness-type decks, many of which are built around low-resource usage and energy efficiency. It is advised to stick this Tag Team GX card into such a deck and save it for the later stages of the battle to snatch a quick and decisive vict

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

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

Light Dragonair also has the Protective Wave attack, which can potentially allow it to attack the foe with impunity. With a bit of luck on the required coin flips, this card can take out an opponent's Pokemon without receiving any dam

One such card belonging to the dark archetype is Mandibuzz BREAK, belonging to the BREAK-Evolution Extradimensional Crisis Expansion. Having an HP of 140, this stage two pokemon is a master disrupter owing to its ability Wings of Disaster.
