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

Focusing on your own strategies is all well and good, but ignoring what the opponent is up to can be disastrous . They may have drawn a great starting hand and are close to unleashing their strongest weapon. Instead of suffering it, a trainer could throw a wrench into the enemy's plans by causing their Active Pokemon to lose energy, forcing them to discard their hand, or even wreaking havoc on their Bench Poke

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

The way to heal a Burn is by flipping a coin after taking damage and getting heads. Otherwise, a trainer can use a trainer card like Full Heal instead. While not particularly dangerous to foes with a lot of HP, unevolved Pokemon and those resistant to regular damage from fire attacks can be weakened or knocked out passively from a Burn, making it a useful secondary strat

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 Tyranitar, also from the Neo Destiny set, is a rampaging berserker. It has two excellent moves; the first of which can smash a foe's HP and deck much like how this behemoth is usually depicted destroying the landscape. Though, if a trainer does not want to rely on coin flips for Mountain Smasher's damage, they can use Fling Away instead, which can be devastating to multiple or singular f

Golem from the Skyridge set is a bit more useable, though not by much. Its Rock Throw is as generic as TCG attacks come, though at least its energy cost is not ridiculous. Golem's Earth Bomb attack, however, is a risky move to use as it is uniquely designed to injure friends as well as f

With assisting cards like Pokemon Rescue and Broken Time Space, as well as the introduction of Junk Arm in this respective format, players could device innovative ways to evolve their Magikarps, attack right away, and get Gyarados to use Tail Revenge by sending Magikarps into the discard pile as early as possible during a g

Dark Gyarados from the Team Rocket set is violence incarnate. Its Ice Beam attack does nice damage and can make a foe Paralyzed, but this card's true might is in its Pokemon Power. Final Beam assures destruction to any adversary wishing to claim the ending blow on this atrocious sea serp

Although this card can be quite useful in many Psychic-type decks, ones that feature spookier allies would be more suitable, as messing with an opponent's hand, deck, and Benched pokemon are a common theme with spectral pocket monsters. Players who combine these chaotic maneuvers can cause enough trouble for the foe to keep them from setting up any of their best pl

There have been many Venusaur cards released since the TCG was created in the late '90s. They all vary quite a lot in appearance and strength, though they have a consistent pattern. Venusaurs typically have Abilities and multiple moves that heal themselves, manipulate energy in some way, deal huge damage, or apply special conditions to the

There are other butterfly-like Pokemon that have attacks like this as well. Vivillon from the Forbidden Light Expansion has Vivid Powder, an attack that makes the foe Poisoned and Asleep simultaneously while also doing 50 damage. Having a deck full of butterflies sounds cute but could be a deadly strat

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

Decks need to contain a minimum of 60 cards, therefore even with 4 copies allowed per card, drawing one's best Pokemon could take a while. Instead, pick a small group of cards that work well with one another and build a deck around t
