Its most powerful trait is the Raging Thunder attack, which can set up potential one-hit-knock-out scenarios for most pokémon with its 120 damage capacity. Although this attack deals damage of 40 to one of the player’s Benched Pokémon, if used intelligently with cards like Acerola or Taurus GX on the bench, Zapdos is capable of being extremely use
There’s a very clear resemblance between Yu-Gi-Oh!’s anime, trading card game, and video games, but Pokémon is much more unique in how it embraces its content. The Pokémon video games are totally different than the trading card game. However, there are actually Pokémon spin-off games that are video versions of the TCG. This is a beautiful expansion of the premise and it allows the audience to still play the game, even if they’re by themselves or if they don’t own a single card. It’s a satisfying substitute for the real th
Volkner’s Philosophy is a Trainer Card that works in a similar manner as the Birch and Bianca Trainer Cards but differs in the sense that it also allows the player to discard a card from his/her hand. It is the perfect card to play after the player has finished a big turn and needs to draw useful cards to setup upcoming pl
This opens up all the big attacks for the pokémon during the game’s early stages and also allows the player to search for other supporters now that the energy requirements have been more than satisf
It does have a drawback, where Muk cannot use this ability if it is affected by a Special Condition, but it is an extremely powerful attack otherwise. Muk also has another ability Sludge, which for the cost of three grass-energy cards deals 30 damage and also poisons the defending pokémon; if after flipping a coin it lands on he
Raikou, belonging to the BREAKthrough expansion, is the quintessential snowballer, with its complementary abilities Shining Body and Thunder Lance. With an HP of 120 Raikou is capable of reducing damage from the opponent’s attack by 20 using its ability Shining Body, which can be activated by attaching any number of electric energy cards to
It would be a good idea to have a few Fire-type Pokemon that take neutral damage to Water-type attacks, like Talonflame from the Darkness Ablaze expansion (it is instead weak to Lightning-type attacks). Having some Grass-types or Lighning-type Pokemon could also be useful counters, depending on one’s deck syne
Belonging to the Phantom Forces expansion, Joltik has been a hugely controversial and powerful pokémon in the PTCG . The reason behind its infamy is its attack Night March, which, for the simple cost of 1DCE, is able to deliver insane damage on just the first t
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
Therefore, the Pokémon Center Lady Trainer 25 card, better known to anime fans as Nurse Jay, is a brilliant resource to have up the sleeve when evolving or retreating are not an option, and the player’s pokémon has received considerable damage. This Trainer Card allows players one of the best strategies to recover in PTCG by healing 60 damage, as well as any Special Condition on any one of the pokémon chosen by the pla
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
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 Pokémon franchise has evolved since its inception, diversifying into various ventures which include brilliant toys , gift choices , and even the media in the form of anime, manga, and movies.

A successful trading card game obviously needs a strong foundation to pull from, but another way in which the Pokémon series benefits is that the sheer number of Pokémon continues to balloon. There are now nearly 1000 unique Pokémon out there and they’re all viable choices to be featured in the TCG. The Pokémon Trading Card Game isn’t stagnant, but even if it were, just the addition of new Pokémon of which people are fans of would be enough to bring new players into the card g
