This is one of the best-supporting moves of any card released in the Neo Destiny expansion, though if push comes to shove, Light Ledian can unleash a flurry of punches for unreliable, yet potentially high, dam
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
The Blacksmith Supporter card from the Flashfire expansion lets a trainer attach two energy cards from the discard pile directly onto a Pokemon. The Professor's Letter Item card from the BREAKthrough expansion is another useful one if low on fuel, as it lets the player search their deck for two energ
This makes playing a Crystal Pokemon quite a challenge and can hinder certain cards enough to be virtually ignored aside from the collection aspect of the TCG . Kingdra from the Aquapolis set is one such card. They are tied for the highest HP for all Crystal Pokemon, yet their costly and lackluster attacks make them virtually unusa
Fire-types excel at offense and don't have great defense or recovery, making the kind of playstyle required for a successful fire deck obvious. With heavy-hitting yet energy-expensive attacks, players can one or two-shot many opposing Active Pokemon, though this momentum can be difficult to keep
This can cause enough chaos to prevent the foe from forming a proper defense. It should be mentioned that this Fire-type's sole attack is only useful against evolved Pokemon, doing little damage against Baby and Basic cards. A somewhat common trait among the gentle Light Poke
Either way, this locks the adversary's Active Pokemon down for at least one turn, if not longer. With this opening, Light Dewgong is free to frigidly landscape as it pleases with many Ice Pillar atta
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
Strategy and victory are important factors to be sure but don't forget to enjoy the battle. Use Pokemon that are interesting and fun to build a strategy that feels right. There are no wrong ways to enjoy the Pokemon TCG and innovation by utilizing new strategies can be satisfying. This can even give a trainer a leg up on the competition by unleashing unexpected battling techniq
Fire-type Pokemon hit hard, though they don't usually have high HP. This makes them the glass cannons of the Pokemon TCG world . If one does not set up their offense in time, they may lose Pokemon needlessly to opponents with faster decks. A way to avoid this is to start off playing weaker and quicker Pokemon fi
Although this card can be quite useful in many Psychic-type decks, ones that feature spookier allies would be more suitable, as messing with an opponent's hand, deck, and Benched pokemon are a common theme with spectral pocket monsters. Players who combine these chaotic maneuvers can cause enough trouble for the foe to keep them from setting up any of their best pl
Updated on December 17, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman: With each new expansion released for the Pokemon TCG , more and more cards of increasing strength get added. As such, it is subject to the "power creep" seen in a lot of other trading card game franchises. This means that trainers who are active in the TCG-battle scene should always check out new cards to see if they can use them to improve their deck. This is as true for Fire-type Pokemon cards as it is for the other TCG ty
Dark Omastar from the Neo Destiny expansion is one of the most unique Pokemon in the TCG. Both of its moves involve manipulating the opponent's evolution stage. With Prehistoric Water, this fossil Pokemon can "devolve" the adversary and send its highest stage evolution card into their trainer's d
The Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) has been experiencing a rather sudden resurgence in popularity over The card course of the last year or so. Between the existing popularity of the beloved franchise, and the arrival of new nostalgia-inducing expansions, Pokemon cards have quickly become some of the toughest-to-find it
Furthermore, Light Machamp then automatically switches to become the new Active Pokemon, allowing for a free and fast swap. This is a particularly great play if the foe is a Dark Pokemon or a Dark-type, as the Beatdown attack is especially effective on these kinds of adversar
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
Updated on April 5, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman: In addition to needing to know the right timing to make use of these powerful allies, trainers are advised to think about what deck to use them in since some have very specific strategies tied to them and require sufficient planning to be put to proper
