Thunder Lance, on the other hand, deals a base damage of 50, and, for every electric energy that has been attached to Raikou, it deals a further 20 damage, all for the cost of 3-colorless energy cards. Used in synergy with Max Elixir, Raikou becomes simply unstoppa
Since most Electric-type pokémon require a strange combination of 2-electric and 1-colorless energy to mete out their attacks, having this stage one pokémon in the deck can prove to be extremely use
Knowing that, it’s no surprise that the definitely creatively-named Shining Fates expansion also features its own Shiny Vault. While the set will boast an impressive 190+ cards, its Shiny Vault will consist of over 100 Pokemon. To boot, the set will also feature more than 30 Pokemon V and VMAX variants, though only one single Secret Rare card: Alcremie V
It is also resistant to Steel or Metal-type cards and boasts of a considerable 220 HP. It is an extremely powerful Electric-type card if all of its traits are taken into consideration and therefore, should not be underestima
In retrospect, the Team Plasma deck is a very simple one. The deck ran three strong cards, Thundurus EX, Deoxys EX, and Kyurem. Due to all three cards being Plasma cards, they obtained the benefits of ” The Plasma Engine”. Cards like Colress Machine and Team Plasma Ball kept the deck consistent and fast. Essentially, the goal is to simply use strong plasma attackers like Thundurus and Kyurem while Deoxys powers them up on the bench with its ability. Deoxys itself could also be utilized to deal with Mewtwo EX ‘s at the time as well, but Kyurem was the real star of the show. It had high HP, low attack cost, and wasn’t even an EX. Overall, the deck was solid and simple and this led it to a world championship win in 2
Granted, Electrode has a low HP of 80, and its primary attack, Head Bolt, also deals low damage of 70, but the factor that makes this card extremely useful and powerful in the PTCG is its ability Buzzap Thun
The most recent deck on this list, and certainly the most powerful in terms of solely damage output, the Pikachu and Zekrom deck is fast, powerful, and incredibly difficult to take down. The deck runs Dedenne GX to speed it up with its strong ability ” Dedechange.” Zeraora GX and Pikachu and Zekrom GX have strong energy acceleration and huge damage output. This deck seems to mix together much of the stronger elements from past formats. Big, bulky, basic Pokémon , energy acceleration, and consistency are all here. Overall, the deck is hard to contain with its huge damage output and sustainabil
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
While Hypnotoxic Laser poisons the opponent’s Active pokémon and possibly also puts it to sleep, Virbank City Gym levies two damage counters on all poisoned pokémon, which in this unfortunate or fortunate circumstance is that of the opponent.

It also has the attack Volt Bolt, which, for the cost of 2-electric and 1-colorless, can set up potential one-hit-knock-out scenarios by dealing 150 damage to one pokémon of the opponent while also discarding all electric-energy attached to Lux
The oldest deck on this list is the now infamously-titled ” Haymaker” deck. Haymaker was possibly the first truly digital TCG Meta defining deck to ever exist in the Pokémon Card Game . It reigned over the competition with its simple yet incredibly strong premise. The deck only ran Scyther, Electabuzz, and Hitmonchan. What these cards all had in common was decently high HP (for the time), small energy costs with high damage output, and, best of all, they were all basic Pokémon. Haymaker was feared because it applied pressure to the opponent almost right out of the gate, and it never let up until the sixth prize card was drawn. Undoubtedly a very simple deck, but one that many players dreaded fighting due to its ease of use and sp
Raikou, belonging to the BREAKthrough expansion, is the quintessential snowballer, with its complementary abilities Shining Body and Thunder Lance.

A card of Ultimate Rarity, Kingdra Prime has the Poke-powers of Spray Splash and the ability Dragon Steam. This 130 HP stage 2 pokémon, can deal one damage counter to one of the pokémon that the opponent has. However, it cannot be used if a Special Condition has been levied on Kingdra Pr
Yanmega Prime from the Triumphant expansion is a Stage 1 Pokémon with 110 HP and has a list of three unique abilities, each of which is extremely powerful and useful.
