NOTE: "Pokemon V Forces" Tins featuring Galarian Slowbro , Lucario, and Mew V cards, are all releasing on February 19th as well. Each will include 4 booster packs. It's unconfirmed whether any of the booster packs are Shining Fates packs, tho

Crobat G is a Psychic-type Basic pokémon from the Platinum expansion with 80 HP. It is also an SP pokémon, which means it was made for the Sinnoh League Games and has special trainers that could be used alongside this card such as Poké Turn and Power Spray. Using these cards, Crobat G can set up damage, deny opponents from setting up damage, and even achieve absurd knockouts, devastating the oppon

Although the "Frozen" status does not technically appear in the TCG , the Paralyzed special condition fills in for it as a more versatile mechanic. Making a foe Paralyzed is not a water-exclusive strategy, as grass and electric pokemon can unleash this effect as well, albeit for different lore reasons. However, some modern water Pokemon tcg cardcards can launch attacks with a chance to inflict this condition with less average cost than m

This beast of a card not only wrecks opposing Pokemon but also bolsters its trainer's forces. The Team Rocket set has a Dark Dragonite card that has a coin flip chance of doing 70 damage in one swipe of its mighty t

During the 2nd Generation of the Pokemon franchise's main series games, there were quite a few updates and additions to other forms of media as well. One of those was the Pokemon Trading Card Game , which received new types and card variants, such as Light and Dark Poke

While players can normally purchase Pokemon cards in various forms of bundles, the basic breakdown is as follows: booster packs, starter/theme decks, and collector's sets. Generally speaking, each "expansion" of the Pokemon TCG will offer a new set of cards to collect, which can be obtained through some combination of the aforementioned means. "Shining Fates" will be the next expansion to arrive to the English-speaking Pokemon TCG world, releasing on February 19th, 2

Water types have "Plus" energy attacks, moves with a plus sign to the right of the damage number. These kinds of moves get a flat bonus to their damage output for water energy, and they mostly only exist on water type cards. The Wailord card from the Vivid Voltage expansion is a great example of this. Even though it takes a total of 4 energy to unleash their Hydro Pump attack, it will always deal massive damage when launched. The base 10 damage plus the optimal attachment of 4 water energy results in a 170 damage assault that has no negative downside for the u

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

Getting a bit lucky and doing this multiple turns in a row can ravage any foe. Though, if luck is not something a trainer wants to rely on, this shellfish Pokemon's Hydrocannon attack can blow adversaries out of the water with a no-downside maximum damage of 70 HP. For high and consistent damage, versatility, as well as longevity, this Blastoise is the Dark Pokemon with the most promise of doom for a player's enem

Keeping a pokémon from fainting is one of the prime priorities that a player needs to assure if he/she is to win the game. If a pokémon faints, the player loses Prize Cards as a result. The opponent will win if he/she has won six Prize Cards in a g

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

Tapu Lele GX is an ultra-rare Basic Psychic pokemon with 170 HP, with the abilities, Wonder Tag, and attack Energy Drive. It also has a GX ability that costs only 1 Psychic-energy known as Tapu Cure GX. The first ability is extremely useful for finding necessary supporters as it allows the player to search the deck for a supporter and put it into his/her hand whenever Tapu Lele GX is shifted to the be

However, the Arrokudas themselves are not simple ammunition. Having a single one in hand as the battle begins can lead to a quick and devastating early-game strategy. Playing one of these slender aquatic pokemon on turn one, along with an energy card, can let a trainer summon two of their brethren from the deck onto the bench. On the next turn, retreat the active Arrokuda back to the bench and send out a Cramorant. If one also has a Double Colorless Energy, they can play it onto their avian ally and unleash a Continuous Gulp Missile for a colossal 180 damage. This low-cost tactic is likely to knock out almost any opponent. Being so early in the game, if the opposing trainer has no other pokemon, this can net a quick and decisive vict
