As one would expect from the adorable card art, Light Jolteon has some great protective traits. Its Pulse Guard prevents any damage of 30 or more done to it, essentially making Light Jolteon immune to hard-hitting attacks and significantly increasing its longevity. However, this move does not protect the card from special conditions like being Poisoned or Confu


Zapdos, the legendary first-generation pokémon, has found a suitable card in this one belonging to the XY-Roaring Skies expansion. Equipped with an adequate 120 HP, Zapdos is a brilliant card that can be used as a carry pokémon as well as a support, something which is rare for PTCG cards. While its primary attack, Drill Peck, is quite weak, dealing damage of only 20, it can prove to be the little difference between winning and losing during the final rounds of the g


Paralyzed is a special condition that renders a Pokemon unable to move or retreat for one turn. At their turn end, they lose this condition and return to normal.

Golisopod GX is a Stage 1 Pokémon belonging to the Burning Shadows expansion with a massive 210 HP, as well as a trio of brilliant attacks. The first attack is First Impression, which deals a base damage of 30, but has the potential of dealing 90 more damage, if this Pokémon becomes the active Pokémon during the ongoing turn, for the cost of only one ene


This beast of a card not only wrecks opposing Pokemon but also bolsters its trainer's forces. The Team Rocket set has a Dark Dragonite card that has a coin flip chance of doing 70 damage in one swipe of its mighty t


This is another excellent way to lock down a foe. While they are sleeping, the player can inflict damage upon them with near-impunity. Abomasnow , also from the Rebel Clash expansion, can even put foes to sleep while doing 80 damage with Soothing Scent. No coin flip requi


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


However, in such a manner it is also possible to overextend oneself. Though this is less of a problem for certain water pokemon in the TCG because they get exponentially more powerful as they gain energy as opposed to most pokemon who only get additively stronger. They can also paralyze foes as well as string together some cool combos. Water type decks are all about manipulating energy, as well as possibly stunning the opponent's pokemon, while utilizing unique secondary strategies for an unpredictable and appropriately fluid offense.

The Sword & Shield expansion has a Rillaboom card with such an Ability. This card's Voltage Beat lets their trainer pull two grass energy cards from their deck and attach them to any of their Pokemon. Getting more energies onto a team can mean that more powerful attacks are able to unleash quicker. This strategy works well with many others, acting as a quick way to fuel one's powerhouse ca
