Interestingly for a Fire-type Pokemon card, Ninetales gives themselves and their allies significantly lower retreat costs by simply being on the field. Their ability, Byway of the Nine-Tailed Fox, essentially gives their trainer the ability to switch which of their Pokemon is in the Active slot with the utmost ease. With this, a trainer can create a revolving door of Pokemon that will keep the opponent guess
The second allows players to discard as many cards as they liked from their hands while removing the same number of damage counters from Ludicolo. The final ability Circular Steps deals 10 damage multiplied by the total number of active pokémon in play including the player’s and opponent’s Pokemons and excluding the Ludicolo, therefore, making this card an absolute powerho
Possessing a powerful Pokemon Power, this fully evolved dragon Pokemon can be difficult for the opposing trainers to go up against if they try to make use of special energy cards that are anything except Colorless. Miraculous Wind makes all special energy cards on the field not only lose their additional effects but also make their type Colorl
Attacks and Abilities that result in more energy getting attached to one’s Active or Bench Pokemon can lead to a whole team being ready to attack at any moment. Spare energies can even be used as emergency retreat resour
It is a normal attack as well, so, unlike Pokemon GX attacks, it can be used repeatedly. This kind of move, usually called “Hydro Pump”, has been seen on water type pokemon cards since some of the earliest sets featuring the very first water starter line . Blastoise was the original user of this watery weapon, though variants have flourished since its incept
Although the “Frozen” status does not technically appear in the TCG , the Paralyzed special condition fills in for it as a more versatile mechanic. Making a foe Paralyzed is not a water-exclusive strategy, as grass and electric pokemon can unleash this effect as well, albeit for different lore reasons. However, some modern water pokemon cards can launch attacks with a chance to inflict this condition with less average cost than m
Here’s another card with good versatility. Crobat from the Skyridge set has a hazardous attack called Poison Flame, which can put the opposing Active Pokemon in a tight spot as it can leave them Burned and Poisoned following a single coin f
The second ability is Surf Together, which requires two water and one colorless energy card and deals 50 damage, as well as 10 extra damage for every one of the player’s benched pokémon. Furthermore, after flipping a coin, if it lands on tails, there is an extra 10 damage to each of the player’s benched pokémon tcg pocket 24 hourglasses Distribution. All in all, it is a powerful attacker that works efficiently, and, therefore, has found its place in many successful decks on the world st
Both of Seismitoad’s abilities are quite powerful, with Quaking Punch restricting the opponent from using an item card during the next turn, and Grenade Hammer dealing 130 with an additional and negligible 30 damage to two benched Pokemons of the player. Complimentary cards that make it even more powerful include Hypnotoxic Laser, Muscle Band, and Virbank City
One such card is the evolution of Vanillite found in the Darkness Ablaze expansion, Vanillish. For only a single water energy, this stage 2 pokemon can deal minor, but quick, 30 damage per attack with a chance to make the foe Paralyzed. With a bit of luck during the coin flips, this can leave the adversary crippled and weakened, unable to respond. Not only can this allow trainers to dominate the battle, but it can also give them time to draw and play Vanillish’s evolution, Vanilluxe; an ice pokemon that is even more adept at freezing f
However, the Arrokudas themselves are not simple ammunition. Having a single one in hand as the battle begins can lead to a quick and devastating early-game strategy. Playing one of these slender aquatic pokemon on turn one, along with an energy card, can let a trainer summon two of their brethren from the deck onto the bench. On the next turn, retreat the active Arrokuda back to the bench and send out a Cramorant. If one also has a Double Colorless Energy, they can play it onto their avian ally and unleash a Continuous Gulp Missile for a colossal 180 damage. This low-cost tactic is likely to knock out almost any opponent. Being so early in the game, if the opposing trainer has no other pokemon, this can net a quick and decisive vict
Nidoking from the Aquapolis set actually has two good attacks, both of which are useful in different situations that give this Stage 2 Pokemon some versatility. Nidoking’s Poison Horn may be a bit high-cost, though making the adversary Poisoned will eventually pay off if the foe does not heal and remove this special condit
Either way, this locks the adversary’s Active Pokemon down for at least one turn, if not longer. With this opening, Light Dewgong is free to frigidly landscape as it pleases with many Ice Pillar atta
