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

Umbreon GX belonging to the Sun and Moon expansion is a hugely versatile card with 200 HP, which can play with any deck and is capable of dealing considerable damage along with dire effects for the opponent. Its secondary attack, Shadow Bullet, deals as much as 90 damage along with an additional 30 damage to one of the benched pokémon of the opponent, making it a powerful card to enact bench sniping, all for the meager cost of 1DE and 1

There have been many Venusaur cards released since the TCG was created in the late '90s. They all vary quite a lot in appearance and strength, though they have a consistent pattern. Venusaurs typically have Abilities and multiple moves that heal themselves, manipulate energy in some way, deal huge damage, or apply special conditions to the

One such card belonging to the dark archetype is Mandibuzz BREAK, belonging to the BREAK-Evolution expansion. Having an HP of 140, this stage two pokemon is a master disrupter owing to its ability Wings of Disaster. This attack not only deals 20 damage to each of the opponent’s pokémon, but it also removes any tool cards that might be attached to them, thereby disrupting effective setups that the opponent might have m

Their Guiding Flame move makes Light Ninetales a bit more versatile, as it allows the card to help a fallen Baby or Basic Pokemon ally back onto the Bench. Since this move is so low-cost, it can still be useful even after a couple of Fire Bla

Although not a hugely powerful pokemon, Mega Sharpedo EX is powerful enough to deal adequate damage if played in the correct setup.

Latias & Latios are a formidable pair from the Team Up expansion that has great synergy between their normal and GX attacks. Their Buster Purge move can dish out a massive 240 points of damage, though it causes them to discard 3 Energies. Thankfully, their Aero Unit GX attack allows them to retrieve these, and then some, in addition to preventing all damage taken during the opponent's next 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

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

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

Confused is potentially the most adverse of all the special conditions if the afflicted is unlucky. When suffering from this status ailment, the Pokemon's trainer will have to flip a coin each time they wish to attack. If heads, the attack goes as planned, but if tails, their Pokemon takes 30 damage instead of performing their intended m

Another with a great Pokemon Power, Light Machamp can enter the fray in a unique and more beneficial way than usual. Tag Team lets this muscle-bound pocket monster heal the ally Active Pokemon for 30 damage if they are played from the hand to the Be

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

Trading Card Games are hugely popular, with many of Yu-Gi-Oh’s common monster cards , as well as the strongest cards belonging to Dartz , being all the rage. However, the Pokémon TCG is no different, providing to players its own range of powerful ca

Reshiram & Zekrom from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion can ravage an opposing team and even has some compatibility with a certain Supporter card.
