While some purists may gawk at the idea of slandering an original card's art by trying to paint over and around it, the results for those that are truly great speak for themselves. Each of the cards on this list is always painted with their original pokémon and backgrounds serving as the "canvas" so to speak. SumiPaints builds off of their original imagery, giving us the impression that they have peeled back the layer of stats and rules in order to reveal a larger picture that has always existed beneath the surface. This Vulpix is captured just outside of a forest in what appears to be a blossoming meadow. Possibly, Veridian Forest of Gen I fa
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
The world of Pokémon cards has made a resurgence in popularity as the sun sets on the year 2020. In particular the practice of finding, appraising, and selling the rarest cards, thanks to influencers like Logan Paul documenting their personal experiences of these cases. Whether they be due to stats, a certain number of copies made, or slgdaily.Xyz artwork; many factors can contribute to a card's rar
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
These TCG duos, and sometimes trios, have greater HP and better attacks, though if they are knocked out, one's opponent gets to take a whopping 3 Prize cards. With only 6 Prize cards each, trainers need to be wary of when they decide to send in one of their mighty Tag Team ca
Reshiram & Zekrom from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion can ravage an opposing team and even has some compatibility with a certain Supporter card. Their normal attack, Fabled Flarebolts, require them to discard a fair number of Energies, though at the maximum potential can unleash 270 damage on the Active
Hailing from the XY expansion, Electrode is meant to be used as a super battery for powerful Electric-type pokémon—albeit at the cost of one Prize Card—since this ability knocks Electrode out and transforms it into a Special-Energy Card, providing two electric energy to whichever Electric-type Pokémon it has been attached
For this particular Clefairy card, it would be beneficial to check out SumiPaints's TikTok page: @sumipaints to watch in detail how they constructed this fantastical scene. For example, the vast majority of the spectral flowers are themselves, products of the art
Accelgor is a Pokémon that belongs to the Dark Explorers expansion and comes equipped with 90 HP. While the Hit Point capacity of this Pokémon seems to be little, it has a useful ability known as Deck and Cover, which requires only two energy-cards. Apart from dealing a 50 damage to the defending Pokémon it also paralyzes and poisons it, further allowing the player to reshuffle Accelgor and any cards attached with it into the playing d
Another Ultra Beast duo with tremendous might, Pheromosa & Buzzwole appeared with the Unbroken Bonds expansion. Their normal moves Jet Punch and Elegant Sole are both lackluster compared to the attacks of many other Tag Team cards, though their GX attack is monstrously overpowered and more than makes up for their weaker normal moves. If the trainer meets the high additional energy cost of Beast Game GX, and they knock out a foe with it, they can claim up to 4 Prize cards, potentially securing the entire battle in a single t
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
These deadly dragons were released as a Tag Team card during the Cosmic Eclipse expansion and boast traits appropriate for their Ultra Beast identities. Their Ability, Violent Appetite, lets their trainer heal them for 60 HP when discarding a pokemon card from one's hand, allowing Naganadel & Guzzlord to stay on the field even longer than nor
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
