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
Eelektrik is likely one of the last Pokémon anyone would expect on this list. But yes, this (not even fully-evolved) eel creature was so powerful that it earned its way directly into so many successful decks. Eelektrik was an intensely versatile card due to its shockingly broken ability, ” Dynamotor.” This ability allowed Eelektrik to take electric energy from the discard pile once a turn and attach it directly to a benched card. This led to many players running four Eelektrik with attackers that took advantage of its amazing ability. Many early variants of this deck ran Mewtwo EX which would do more damage with more energy attached to it. With Eelektrik’s ability, this energy could be accelerated to Mewtwo incredibly fast for high damage output early in the g
A basic Pokemon with 170 HP, Keldeo EX is a brilliant Water-type pokémon that can be used to recycle the player’s active Pokemon with a Keldeo EX sitting on the bench, using its ability Rush In, which requires no energy. Combining the same with a Float Stone, this tactic becomes even more potent allowing the player to switch any attacking Pokemon as and when requi
This is one aspect in which the Crystal Type Poke-Body ability can be used strategically. Celebi’s Mind Bend can make an enemy Confused with a lucky coin flip, though at 20 damage per hit it may not be worth the eff
This is the BREAK form of Zoroark from the XY-BREAKthrough expansion. While it is understandable that Zoroark BREAK, has a low HP, to begin with, standing at only 140, the attack ability it has, which costs only 1DE is worth using this c
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, Www.slgdaily.xyz therefore, making this card an absolute powerho
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
Its primary attack, Dark Pulse, can deal an additional 20 damage for every Dark energy that has been attached to each of the player’s pokemon. If the player uses Max Elixir, the number of Dark energies in play can be as high as 8-9, allowing the player to deal 180 damage on the very first turn, which is borderline bro
In retrospect, the Team Plasma deck is a very simple one. The deck ran three strong cards, Thundurus EX, Deoxys EX, and Kyurem. Due to all three cards being Plasma cards, they obtained the benefits of ” The Plasma Engine”. Cards like Colress Machine and Team Plasma Ball kept the deck consistent and fast. Essentially, the goal is to simply use strong plasma attackers like Thundurus and Kyurem while Deoxys powers them up on the bench with its ability. Deoxys itself could also be utilized to deal with Mewtwo EX ‘s at the time as well, but Kyurem was the real star of the show. It had high HP, low attack cost, and wasn’t even an EX. Overall, the deck was solid and simple and this led it to a world championship win in 2
Part of the Guardians Rising expansion Tapu Koko GX is extremely powerful, having a list of incredible attacks to choose from.

Its secondary attack, Shadow Bullet, deals as much as 90 damage along with an additional 30 damage to one of the benched pokémon of the opponent, making it a powerful card to enact bench sniping, all for the meager cost of 1DE and 1
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
