With that in mind, if the opponent is playing a Vileplume, Mandibuzz can three-shot it, Garbodor can be dealt with two-shot, and, for Decidueye GX, it would be four-shot. The card also has a helpful second ability by the name of Cutting W

This Ghost-type duo from the SM Black Star Promos expansion is a tricky pair that confounds and disables the opponent in the usual fashion that Ghost-types do . With Night Watch, they can hit the foe's Active pokemon while causing the opposing trainer to send 2 of the cards in their hand back into their deck. If the opponent doesn't have any cards to help them draw additional ones, Trevenant & Dusknoir can essentially starve the foe's strategies of required compone

Scyther from the Jungle expansion is one of the best Generation 1 Pokémon that is a Basic Pokémon with 70 HP, something which was huge for a Basic Pokémon to have at the time of its release. While it might seem funny in the present, this card was uniquely powerful at the time of its rele

This finishing blow will take some time to set up, even with energy search cards, however, the Grass-typing of this Ultra Beast duo grants trainers some great ways to build up energy relatively quickly. Pokemon cards of this type sometimes carry abilities that can attach energy cards from one's deck, hand, or discard pile to an ally with little to no effort, so a Grass deck themed around this should be able to bring out Pheromosa & Buzzwole's true potent

This is another card well suited to a Dragon-type deck, though one that possesses both Water and Psychic energy cards. As Dragon-type cards often require multiple types of energies, they can be time-consuming to set up, Forspoken Game features though are usually worth the effort. Be sure to pack energy search cards to alleviate some of the delays while powering up one's drag

Initially, Decidueye GX was a huge success in decks revolving around it, owing to the existence of Forest Giant Plant cards like Vileplume (before it got banned), but later molded itself to act as a brilliant supporting Pokémon for cards like Golisopod and Zoro

A basic Pokemon with 170 HP, Keldeo EX is a brilliant Water-type pokémon that can be used to recycle the player’s active Pokemon with a Keldeo EX sitting on the bench, using its ability Rush In, which requires no energy. Combining the same with a Float Stone, this tactic becomes even more potent allowing the player to switch any attacking Pokemon as and when requi

This sinister hypnotist's strength relies on the other Pokemon in play. Their Dark Link move allows this Psychic-type to use any attack of a fellow Dark Pokemon without needing to pay its energy cost. All other requirements still need to be met, though, with the ability to unleash a Benched comrade's Dark Tentacle, Giant Tail, or Mind Shock, it is often worth the pr

Accelgor is a Pokémon that belongs to the Dark Explorers expansion and comes equipped with 90 HP. While the Hit Point capacity of this Pokémon seems to be little, it has a useful ability known as Deck and Cover, which requires only two energy-cards. Apart from dealing a 50 damage to the defending Pokémon it also paralyzes and poisons it, further allowing the player to reshuffle Accelgor and any cards attached with it into the playing d

Not guaranteed to hit but when it does, it can even take out an enemy Dark Dragonite. This card also has a great Pokemon Power called Summon Minions, which lets Dark Dragonite's trainer place two Basic Pokemon from the deck to the Bench as reinforceme

Belonging to the XY-Fates Collide expansion, Mandibuzz is a stage one pokémon with 110 HP that comes as hugely handy when dealing with particular situations. This dark pokemon is especially useful because of its ability Bone Drop, which is able to deal a damage of 60 to any one of the opponent’s pokémon if it has an Abil

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

Dark Pokemon, which should not be confused with Dark-type Pokemon , are pocket monsters who have turned to the shadier side of things, almost always due to their trainer being such a character themselves. Their moves and card art reflect their more sinister nature, although some are merely all bark and no bite. However, a few live up to their ominous reputation for being foes that players wish to av

With assisting Pokémon like Mew and Dusknoir, Accelgor becomes even more powerful, forcing the defending Pokémon to be stuck in the active place, while dealing significant damages to the opponent’s be
