In the universe of Pokémon Trading Card Game, part of the Pokémon franchise, few can boast of the astounding abilities that Psychic pokémon are known to have. This type is commonly associated with the ones that belong to the elite echelons of the Pokémon world, as many legendary pokémon are usually found to have Psychic traits. These pokémon are great in a team and provide helpful assistance to either themselves or the other pokémon in the t
Feraligatr is a 120 HP stage 2 pokémon that belongs to the Neo Genesis expansion and boasts of astoundingly powerful abilities such as Downpour and Riptide, which are kind of complementary to each other. While Downpour allows the player to discard one water energy card from the deck, as many times as they like during their turn, before they attack, Riptide complements it by dealing 10 plus 10 damage multiplied by the number of water energy cards that the player has in the discard p
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
Having powerful Pokemon and lots of energy is important but one should not forget to support them with the appropriate trainer cards. There are a few that can speed up the process of charging one's Pokemon with ene
Besides the powerful V and VMAX Pokemon cards that are becoming increasingly used in battles, there are still many other strong cards for a Fire-type deck. For example, take a look at a few from the Fusion Strike expansion that was released in November 2
Gengar is a 110 HP stage 2 pokémon belonging to the Psychic-type and hails from the Storm Front expansion of PTCG. The entirety of this card is brilliant, with abilities such as Fainting Spell, Shadow Room, and Poltergeist being killer moves to use in a game. The first ability, Fainting Spell, allows players to turn the tables by knocking out the opponent’s pokémon if Gengar gets knocked out, by a simple toss of a coin, thereby allowing the player a 50-50 chance of achieving this f
It is an extremely powerful attack-minded Pokémon card and has found great usage in decks like the Team Plasma, and combining it with an item card such as Hypnotoxic Laser and a Stadium Card like Virbank City Gym, Kyurem has the ability to knock out any EX pokémon having 180 HP with a single attack. Furthermore, it is a non-EX card, meaning that, once it is knocked out, only one prize card will be given up by the pla

Their Jet Pierce is a decent move with low energy cost, though this card's true strength is in their GX attack. Chaotic Order GX forces all of their trainer's Prize cards to be flipped face-up and can let them take 2 of these valued treasures . If one only needs 2 more to win the battle, this will seize the game for them in a way that the opponent cannot coun
Each type in the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket 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
However, what makes this move so powerful is an interesting fact, whereby Wizards of The Coast, the proprietors of Pokémon cards in America, did not issue an errata concerning a mistranslation with regards to this power. While this power was originally supposed to be used only when Slowking is the active pokémon slot, owing to the mistranslation, multiple Slowking’s saw an introduction into the play reducing the opponent’s chances of using a Trainer Card monumentally. Strangely enough, this card was never ban
The second ability is Surf Together, which requires two water and one colorless energy card and deals 50 damage, as well as 10 extra damage for every one of the player’s benched pokémon. Furthermore, after flipping a coin, if it lands on tails, there is an extra 10 damage to each of the player’s benched pokémon. All in all, it is a powerful attacker that works efficiently, and, therefore, has found its place in many successful decks on the world st
