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

A powerful starter, Yveltal is perfect for setting up, and, therefore, it proves to be a powerful addition to any Dark deck. Belonging to the XY-Steam Siege expansion, this Yveltal has an attack known as Oblivion W

Booster packs, while also available from release day, are random packs of ~10 cards from a particular expansion. In most cases, a booster pack is guaranteed to contain at least one reverse holographic card, and one "rare" card, with the possibility of more. Aside from booster packs and decks, The Pokemon Company also tends to release "special collections." These generally consist of a combination of booster packs, promo card(s), and goodies like pins or playmats, and usually feature a particular Pokemon or set of Pokemon. All Pokemon digital TCG Meta products also include a code that can be redeemed for a virtual equivalent on the game's online platf

Kiawe is the perfect Trainer Card for Fire-based decks and should be used during the game’s early stages to give the player the upper hand. While it does end the player’s turn upon use, it allows him/her to search the deck for four Fire energy-cards and attach the same to one of his/her pokémon, which can also increase to five, if the player has already attached the one energy he/she is allowed to attach to a pokémon per t

Tin boxes are the classic metallic boxes, each featuring a particular Pokemon, which include several booster packs and a promo card of the particular Pokemon in question. Pin sets are those that include booster packs and a pin featuring a particular Pokemon or group of Pokemon (i.e. a recent "Small But Mighty" collection included an adorable Igglybuff, Cleffa, and Togepi pin/keychain). Over-sized card sets replace pins with a giant version of whichever special promo card they also happen to incl

Obviously, this card would be the best in a pure Lightning deck due to the energy costs of its moves. Such decks can sometimes prioritize attacking the opponent's rear lines in order to take out threats before they can evolve or enter the Active position. This Pikachu & Zekrom card can make this tactic even more deadly and crippling to the advers

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

The evolved version of Joltik, this XY-Steam Siege card is a brilliant one to have in the deck for dealing snipe attacks on the opponent's pokémon. The cheap Double Thread attack is capable of dealing 30 damage to two Benched Pokémon of the opponent, which can easily increase to 60 owing to the ability to take resistances and weaknesses into considerat

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, 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

Their Ultimate Ray is an excellent way to do damage while simultaneously attaching energy cards from the deck directly onto one's Benched pokemon. And their GX attack, Altered Creation, increases damage done by their trainer's pokemon for the rest of the battle; a serious buff that can start things off to one's advant

Pure Fire-type decks would love to have this card, as it embodies the most popular tactic for this type: unleashing an unrelenting offense. Few can stand up to the burning intensity of Reshiram & Charizard together, which can put their trainer in a position to knock out one of the foe's Active pokemon each t

Therefore, the Pokémon Center Lady Trainer 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

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 Pokemon series has an extensive history of innovation and experimentation. In every new Generation, Nintendo and the various developers of Pokemon media franchises implement aspects meant to keep these pocket monsters relevant and interesting for each new generation of gamers. This sometimes involves them using peripheral devices in conjunction with existing conso
