There may be times when this strategy does not go as planned, due to it needing 4 specific cards for it to work, though there is another tactic that can be added on with minimal effort and resources. Including some Barraskewda cards, which Arrokuda can evolve into, can give one an excellent fallback strategy. If one's Cramorant gets knocked out before they can use Continuous Gulp Missile, this will leave their trainer with a bunch of comparatively week Arrokuda, which would get knocked out fairly quickly.

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


While the base damage is only 10, Zoroark deals an extra 30 damage for each of the opponent’s benched pokemon. If the player uses another card such as Sky Field, the damage can go as high as 250, making everything become a one-shot prey following the attack. Furthermore, it has an ability called Stand-In which allows Zoroark to shift from the bench to the active slot at the cost of just 1


Not guaranteed to hit but when it does, it can even take out an enemy Dark Dragonite. This card also has a great Pokemon Power called Summon Minions, which lets Dark Dragonite's trainer place two Basic Pokemon from the deck to the Bench as reinforceme


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


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).

NOTE: "Pokemon V Forces" Tins featuring Galarian Slowbro , Lucario, and Mew V cards, are all releasing on February 19th as well. Each will include 4 booster packs. It's unconfirmed whether any of the booster packs are Shining Fates packs, tho

This makes playing a Crystal Pokemon quite a challenge and can hinder certain cards enough to be virtually ignored aside from the collection aspect of the TCG . Kingdra from the Aquapolis set is one such card. They are tied for the highest HP for all Crystal Pokemon, yet their costly and lackluster attacks make them virtually unusa


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.

However, Luxray needs to be in the Active Pokémon s


Those familiar with the Pokemon TCG may also be reading through with some déjà vu. That's simply because Shining Fates was actually directly inspired by the previous (incredibly popular) special expansions dubbed "Hidden Fates" and "Shining Legends." Each of these expansions were known for featuring Shiny Pokemon in special holographic-alternative cards. That is, the sets have a special "Shiny Vault" of cards that can be found as a Shiny Pokemon variant . Rather than featuring significantly different artwork though, these cards are treated as a form of "holo," and instead simply bear a unique backdrop and the Pokemon's Shiny vari
