Elite Trainer Boxes, on the other hand, are the creme de la creme of special collections, so to speak. These Elite collections generally sell for $40 and contain 8 booster packs, but special expansions’ Elite Trainer Boxes boast an impressive 10 packs, along with a promo card, for a slightly higher price of
The **Pokemon TCG: Sword & Shield ** expansion launches on February 7, 2020 and will introduce new Pokemon V and VMAX cards to the game. Screen Rant was provided with a booster box of the new expansion alongside all three theme decks for the purposes of this prev
Those familiar with the Pokemon TCG may also be reading through with some déjà vu. That’s simply because Shining Fates was actually directly inspired by the previous (incredibly popular) special expansions dubbed “Hidden Fates” and “Shining Legends.” Each of these expansions were known for featuring Shiny Pokemon in special holographic-alternative cards. That is, the sets have a special “Shiny Vault” of cards that can be found as a Shiny Pokemon variant . Rather than featuring significantly different artwork though, these details cards are treated as a form of “holo,” and instead simply bear a unique backdrop and the Pokemon’s Shiny vari
The Luxray Garchomp deck is a perfect example of mixing two strong and simple Pokémon cards to make a revolutionary deck. This deck centered around both Luxray G Lvl X and Garchomp C Lvl X , two of the strongest cards in their given format. Luxray was infamous at the time for its ability “Bright Look” which allowed the player to move an opponents benched card directly into the active spot. However, smart players would mix this already oppressive ability with Garchomp C Lvl X, which had an ability with healing properties and a move that could snipe the bench for 100 damage. In the format where it existed, Luxray Garchomp was always the deck to beat. If a deck had no shot at dealing with either Luxray, Garchomp, or both, it was pretty much deemed unviable. Simply put, Luxray Garchomp was the textbook definition of “meta defini
NOTE: “Pokemon V Forces” Tins featuring Galarian Slowbro , Lucario, and Mew V cards, are all releasing on February 19th as well. Each will include 4 booster packs. It’s unconfirmed whether any of the booster packs are Shining Fates packs, tho
This graceful dragon in the form of a Colorless-type card is also a healer, but one that can recover a bit of HP for all of its trainer’s Pokemon that are currently on the field, regardless if they are Active or Benc
The trading card game also has many different types of cards that players can collect to create individual decks that they think they can best use to thwart their opponents. One amongst these various types of cards is the water type. While there are many water-type Pokémon cards that have been released over the years, with re-published and rare cards enriching the esteemed category, some can be regarded as the strongest. These are the most powerful water-type Pokémon cards that Pokémon TCG has to of
It isn’t just the base set that’s exciting, and it won’t just be competitive players who stand to benefit from the many changes coming to the Pokemon TCG as it prepares for the _Sword & Shield _ series of its life cycle. With _Pokemon Sword & Shield _ TCG comes a trio of theme decks that could not be better for new players and new fans in general, as they mirror the time-honored tradition of selecting a starter Pokemon and beginning a trainer’s journey into the world of the video game franchise. The three theme decks coming with the set are Inteleon, Rillaboom, and Cinderace, the final evolutions of the most recent generation of starters: Sobble, Grookey, and Scorbu
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
With assisting cards like Pokemon Rescue and Broken Time Space, as well as the introduction of Junk Arm in this respective format, players could device innovative ways to evolve their Magikarps, attack right away, and get Gyarados to use Tail Revenge by sending Magikarps into the discard pile as early as possible during a g
Part of the Majestic Dawn expansion, Empoleon is a stage 2 Water-Type Pokémon Card, with 130 HP. Empoleon comes equipped with two extremely useful abilities, the first being Dual Splash, which requires one water and one colorless energy card to deal 30 damage to any two of the opponent’s poké
The **Pokemon Sword & Shield _ ** TCG expansion set is the beginning of some significant changes to the way the game will be experienced by casual and competitive fans alike. The set will introduce a rule change to the way the first turn of the TCG is played, preventing the player who has won the first turn of the game to play a Supporter card on their first turn, attempting to mitigate the advantage players have when they can set the tempo of the game. It’s a dramatic change, but it feels like the perfect time to implement it with _Sword & Shield _ shaking up the _Pokemon world so dramatically that it’s likely going to be looked back retrospectively as the advent of a new generation of f
