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

Being able to deal damage of 20 multiplied by the number of Energy Cards attached to this pokémon, as well as the defending other pokémon, Mewtwo EX is capable of unleashing absolute hell on opponents, all for the cost of 1DCE. It also has the ability Psydrive, but that is not the most relevant ability of this card, as X-Ball triumphs

Its primary attack, Dark Pulse, can deal an additional 20 damage for every Dark energy that has been attached to each of the player’s pokemon. If the player uses Max Elixir, the number of Dark energies in play can be as high as 8-9, allowing the player to deal 180 damage on the very first turn, which is borderline bro

Arguably the most powerful Psychic-type card in existence, this Basic 170 HP pokémon has the outstanding ability called X-Ball, which can prove to be devastating in advanced stages of the game when the opponent and the player are both setting up for big mo

Although the damage counter dealt by this attack is little, landing only 30 damage to the opponent, it allows the player to attach one dark energy to any of his/her benched pokemon from the discard pile. The cost is also minimal at just one dark energy. It also has a secondary attack known as Darkness Blade, but it restricts Yveltal from attacking in the following turn and therefore should be avoided as it ruins the setup the player had made in the previous t

It is a well-known fact that the Pokémon franchise is a huge one, with anime, manga, video games, wonderful toys , and perfect gift ideas making the pocket monsters famous throughout the world. However, the most popular element of the franchise has to be the Pokémon Trading Card Game. With a wide range of cards to choose from, decks to construct, and a fun and engrossing gameplay, PTCG has become a crowd favorite since the time of its rele

In a game where discarding increases the probability of getting the card that a player really needs to up the ante, and where drawing increases the chances of achieving that, Professor Juniper and Sycamore are nothing short of angels. However, players should also remember to attach energy and bench their pokémon before using these Trainers, lest they wish to utilize freshly drawn cards right a

The way to heal a Burn is by flipping a coin after taking damage and getting heads. Otherwise, a trainer can use a trainer card like Full Heal instead. While not particularly dangerous to foes with a lot of HP, unevolved Pokemon and those resistant to regular damage from fire attacks can be weakened or knocked out passively from a Burn, making it a useful secondary strat

Knowing that, it's no surprise that the definitely creatively-named Shining Fates expansion also features its own Shiny Vault. While the set will boast an impressive 190+ cards, its Shiny Vault will consist of over 100 Pokemon. To boot, the set will also feature more than 30 Pokemon V and VMAX variants, though only one single Secret Rare card: Alcremie V

In addition to the above, Shining Fates promises to be a memorable set because of the fact it won't technically be a "standard" expansion. While it won't be the long-awaited 25th Anniversary Set either, it will be something particularly noteworthy. Much like the wildly popular "Champion's Path" expansion, which features Galar's Gym Leaders and the Charizard VMAX Rainbow/Secret Rare card, Shining Fates will actually be considered a special expansion set. This means that Shining Fates booster packs will not be available for individual purchase - players will only be able to find Shining Fates packs in special collecti

Decks need to contain a minimum of 60 cards, therefore even with 4 copies allowed per card, drawing one's best Pokemon could take a while. Instead, pick a small group of cards that work well with one another and build a deck around t

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

Uxie is a Basic pokemon with 70 HP that belongs to the Legends Awakened expansion and has the useful Poké-power of Set-Up. Set-Up is a brilliant move that allows players to refresh their hands and increase their chances of getting the cards that they need. The move functions when Uxie is shifted to the bench, allowing the player to draw cards such that they have seven cards in their h
