While Hypnotoxic Laser poisons the opponent's Active pokémon and possibly also puts it to sleep, Virbank City Gym levies two damage counters on all poisoned pokémon, which in this unfortunate or fortunate circumstance is that of the opponent. Upon the release of these two Trainers, players from all around the world started making dead space remake in their decks to incorporate and utilize them in innovative gamepl

Here's a Pokemon with a one-two combo that will give the opponent nightmares. With Dark Gengar's Pull In attack, it deals 30 damage and puts the foe Asleep, though they can also choose to drag a Pokemon from the Bench and do the same to them inst

It is difficult to imagine Plusle without an accompanying Minun or vice versa, so the original image of the dynamic duo frolicking through the woods of Hoenn is a great one. But SumiPaints's faithful fulfillment of the details transforms the image from great to splendid. Everything from the extra sunbeams being placed due to the original shaded detail on Plusle to the sense of movement given to us by the painted grass, meant to highlight that the pair is moving at a brisk pace. The skill of an artist is found in many facets and attention to detail is certainly one of t

Each type in the Pokemon TCG represents one or more types from the video game franchise. Water in the card game comprises all pure Water-types, many dual-types, as well as the same for Ice-types. This gives the whole group a variety of strategies to draw from that can be mixed due to elemental synergy. Needing the same type of energy card for two or three different tactics can really overload one's opponent and leave them stretched for resources as well as keep them on the defens

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

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

The Pokemon Power of this Ghost-type , Deep Sleep, makes it very difficult for the sleeping foe to awaken, requiring them to flip two coins without getting any tails. There is little defense or counter against this strategy, as opponents cannot recall Pokemon that are Asleep unless they use an item or Pokemon Power of their

Although neither of its attacks does huge amounts of damage, Dark Alakazam from the Team Rocket Expansion is a card that requires greater intellect to use most effectively. It can teleport into the Bench with a blast that does moderate damage as well as granting a free swi

However, Benched pokemon are not safe either as the Cross Break GX attack can slam up to 2 Benched adversaries with 170 damage each if the trainer has played N's Resolve that turn. Worth noting that N's Resolve gives the player a chance to attach milled energy cards from their deck to this legendary draconic pair , further fueling Fabled Flarebo

Apart from allowing the player to free his hand of two unnecessary cards, Junk Arm further allows him/her to choose a Trainer Card from the discard pile, although it cannot be another Junk Arm. It further lets him/her use that Trainer as per his/her convenience, at another time during the game. It also helps the player setup plays that might help him/her win in the succeeding moments of the g

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

It featured prominently in the devastating Night March deck and rendered decks prioritizing cards like Yveltal/Darkrai and Mega Rayquaza completely defenseless. However, it does have a weakness in its low HP of 30, but its ability to deal exponential damage overpowers that limitation. Sadly, owing to its OP abilities, it has been banned from the standard formats of the game, but it is very much relevant in the expanded form

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

Pidgeotto is a Pokémon most veterans of the franchise will be familiar with. Many beginning teams in the Gen I games chose between the Pidgey and Spearow lines as their primary flying types. The original art of this card evokes an almost savannah-esque scenery with the haziness of the morning light and the implication of grasslands stretching far into the background. The artist takes the liberty of adding more to the mainstay of the river, showing the movement of currents with additional swirls, as well as adding a bit more to the riverbank in the foreground with extra grass and extending the tree l
