Pokemon TCG: How To Make The Best Water Deck

Vileplume has been a hugely powerful Pokémon in its various iterations over the years, including cards like Vileplume EX, Dark Vileplume, and Vileplume belonging to the Undaunted expansion. These were effective cards to use when planning to shut off Trainer and Item Ca


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


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


All Crystal Pokemon have a couple of similarities. Firstly, they all have the Poke-Body ability known as Crystal Type, which changes their element for a turn depending on what kind of energy card gets attached to them. Another similarity is that all of their moves require more energy as well as a more diverse assortment to be u


Since most pokemon from the GX or EX series have a retreat cost of at least 2-3 energies, Mega Sharpedo EX can easily deal 20-30 damage to the opponent’s benched pokémon and weaken them enough to be finished using the card’s Torpedo Drive ability, when they come into active p

In addition, like its previous evolutionary form, Light Dragonite has a wave-related attack that prevents certain aspects of enemy moves. In this case, Light Wave prevents all effects done with the exception of damage, meaning that it will be impossible for the enemy to set a special condition, or any other adverse effects, upon Light Dragonite. Being Colorless-type also means that this card can potentially fit into almost any kind of deck for supreme useability and versatil


While Fireblast is a decent attack, it also requires discarding an energy card; consequently, it is preferable to use this Fire-type's other move: Dragon Tail. This draconic devastation can deal 100 damage per hit, given good coin flips. This is the highest maximum damage any Crystal Pokemon can unleash. Combined with Charizard's high HP, this makes it the best out of all the crystalline varia


Rolling Thunder is also pretty good in that it deals decent damage and has the potential to hit all of the opposing team's Benched Pokemon for 10 HP each while landing 50 damage on the Active enemy. However, there is a coin flip involved that can lead to the user's own Benched Pokemon taking the stray bolts of this attack, therefore this move should be used with a bit of caut


Strategies involving different cards can be found among all types, though there are some especially cool ones seen in the more recent expansions. In the Vivid Voltage set, there is a Cramorant card that can do 60 damage multiplied by how many Arrokuda cards are discarded from the bench. Since Cramorant is a basic pokemon, it can be played immediately, making it a great lead pokemon due to its sufficient 110 HP. Their Continuous Gulp Missile costs 2 energy of any type, making it very quick to set up. With one of the common Double Colorless Energy cards, this move can potentially be used on the first turn that Cramorant is act


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-SLG game mechanics 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


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


Although neither of its attacks does huge amounts of damage, Dark Alakazam from the Team Rocket Expansion is a card that requires greater intellect to use most effectively. It can teleport into the Bench with a blast that does moderate damage as well as granting a free swi


When Dark Gyarados gets Knocked Out by an opponent's attack, Final Beam will activate and grant the trainer a special coin flip. If heads, the opposing Pokemon will take 20 damage for each Water-type energy attached to Dark Gyara
