Pokemon TCG: All Crystal Pokemon Ranked

Pale Moon GX is even stronger in that it knocks out the adversary's Active pokemon upon the end of their next turn. If played with the additional energy requirement, it can prevent that Defending pokemon from retreating, ensuring their dem


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


The Active Pokemon may be the one doing the battling but those on the Bench are equally important. If a trainer ever runs out of Pokemon on their side, they automatically lose. Many Grass-types have the ability to call for reinforcements with low-energy moves. This is a great way to set up basic Pokemon, or greater, quickly and efficien


Since there's usually a coinflip required to determine if an attack paralyzes the target, this can be a gamble. Shuckle from the Rebel Clash expansion has the attack Bind, which is a prime example of this strat


Totodile is famous in the Pokémon community for its playful, energetic, if not mischievous at times, nature. So this scene capturing one leaping out of a field of flowers over a white fence perfectly encapsulates the "ideal" Totodile that fans all know and love. Just below the crocodile Pokémon's feet is where the original border of the frame was. That means that the majority of the fence line, the meadows, and even the trail are not part of the original artw


This trio of legendary pokemon from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion is unique as it is one of the few that houses 3 pokemon instead of 2 and is also one that is better to be played at the beginning of a battle. Such powerhouses are usually saved for the last parts of a battle as a trump card but this trio has some attacks that benefit more from early p


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


It has only been more a recent phenomenon in the Pokémon games where a grass-type might have a changed appearance based on the seasons, so the sight of this ever verdant Ivysaur amidst a field of autumn grass is a welcome contrast that most fans probably would not have known they wanted. What really shines here is the artist's ability to turn a square framed image into one with rounded edges and SLG Game Beginner Guide dynamic depth. The altered perspective is almost as if we are looking up at the Ivysaur from low on the ground. Plus, the pumpkin is an excellent and irrevocable addit


In the Pokemon TCG , if a player does not have any pokemon on their side of the field, they automatically lose. Garchomp & Giratina's final attack, GG End GX, forces the opposing trainer to discard up to 2 of their pokemon and all attached cards. If the foe only has 2 pokemon on the field, this attack will win the battle. The "GG" stands for "Garchomp & Giratina", however, due to this duo's battle-ending potential, it can very well also stand for "Good Ga


Those seeking to use this tremendous trio are recommended to include Arceus & Dialga & Palkia in a Dragon-type deck. One that includes Water and Metal energy cards that have access to a way to search for energy so that one can use this GX card's attacks that require a variety of such resour


This is another condition that does not go away by itself and can force a foe to hurt themselves on their own turn, combining insult and injury. Butterfree V from the Darkness Ablaze expansion turns foes on themselves easily with a low-cost Dizzying Poison, which also applies the Poisoned condition to t


Obviously, this card would be the best in a pure Lightning deck due to the energy costs of its moves. Such decks can sometimes prioritize attacking the opponent's rear lines in order to take out threats before they can evolve or enter the Active position. This Pikachu & Zekrom card can make this tactic even more deadly and crippling to the advers


A legendary Psychic-type duo from the Unified Minds expansion that scratches a huge nostalgia itch for many long-time fans of this franchise. With one of the better Abilities out of all Tag Team cards, Mewtwo & Mew's Perfection gives them access to all attacks from their allies on the Bench or in the discard pile. Though, the energy requirements for those attacks still need to be


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. Not only can this allow trainers to dominate the battle, but it can also give them time to draw and play Vanillish's evolution, Vanilluxe; an ice pokemon that is even more adept at freezing f
