Battling is essential in the world of Pokémon. Whether playing the video game, watching the anime series or throwing down with the trading cards, you are going to see or even participate in a battle between Pokémon. It is the basis for testing the strength, loyalty and friendship between a trainer and their team. Competition gets fierce in tournaments and even recreational play when it comes to card battles. We were lucky enough to check out some of the latest Pokémon trading cards courtesy of TriplePoint and the Pokémon Company International.
The biggest selling point here is the new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex card mechanic, which can offer boosts to both HP and attacks over the usual ex cards. However, a KO’d Mega Evolution ex card results in three prize cards being surrendered, so there’s still a bit of strategizing involved. Ultra rare Item, Tool, and Stadium cards are also included in the new
An extremely rare pull from the Surging Sparks set, this Pikachu ex card quickly became the most expensive of the set when it jumped to over $500 just days after the set launched. Sadly, its momentum as the ultimate chase card has faded in the last year, and its value has dropped. Yet, the Terastallized form of Pikachu ex is still a vibrant and beautiful card to have in any collect
Hardcore fans of the trading card game studied the manual religiously to learn how to play, but more casual players had a Game Boy cart to teach us. Pokémon Trading Card Game for Game Boy offers a crash course in the dynamics of the card game. It presents itself as an RPG similar to Pokémon Red and Blue, but instead of a team of six Pokémon, you challenge gyms with a deck. After winning each battle you’ll receive booster packs from your opponent which you can use to fine-tune your deck. You can build whatever you want as long as it contains 60 cards and at least one basic Pokémon.
Now, Mega Evolutions is still new ; there’s a chance these prices will go down as the market corrects itself. More MHR cards are likely to be revealed in the future, which will help saturate the mar
The market history for this Mew ex has seemed to steadily increase in value in the past several months, though that doesn’t mean it won’t drop again. At the time of writing, TCGPlayer shows an average market price of $623.
In the future, a deck building wizard will be added to help newcomers construct a quality deck. The feature will tell the player if they’re violating any rules as well as teach them how to construct a balanced deck. There are no details yet on when this feature will be ad
The following table describes **all the pull rates in Mega Evolutions ** , according to TCGPlayer. Rates are divided into “any” and “specific,” reflecting the likelihood of pulling any card of that rarity versus a specific
The cards for Victini and Keldeo depict them in beautiful scenery with a fully designed background. Victini comes as a Fire-type with 70 HP, which is pretty average. Energy Assist can be pretty good at building up a sweeper in your bench since you are allowed to attach energy cards to them after flipping a coin and landing on heads. Victory Ball is Victini’s only attack. It deals 50 damage which is very useful but you must discard one energy afterwards. Be sure to stack your deck with enough Fire-type energy cards to keep Victini in the battle. Keldeo is a Water-type and has 90 HP. Its ability, Justified, allows it to inflict 50 more damage to Dark-type enemies and its Sacred Sword attack deals a staggering 100 damage. Keldeo has the potential to take down a large number of opponents because potential doubled amount against those weak to Water and then 150 damage against Dark-types. The only catch is Keldeo won’t be able to attack next turn. Keep plenty of backup Pokémon around and various Trainer cards in-hand to make-up for that gap.
Once again, the Pokémon TCG has launched an Elite Trainer Box to coincide with a set’s release. This time, though, there are two ETBs to choose from — one featuring Gardevoir and one featuring Lucario. Depending on which box you get, you’ll get card sleeves, a coin, and a box with that specific Pokémon on it. The Gardevoir ETB features an Alakazam promo card, while the Lucario ETB has a Riolu pro
Even so, unless those pull rates change, MHRs will probably remain the rarest cards in the hobby overall. They’ll likely always be a distant dream for the grand majority of **Pokémon TCG ** players, except the unusually lucky and those with disposable fu

If you were a child of the late 90s, you were guaranteed a seat on the Pokémon hype train. You had the games, cards, lunchboxes and possibly even underwear. There was no escape from Pokémon. The cards in particular made people go insane. Stores would charge $2.50 for a single Nidorino and up to $60.00 for a holographic Venusaur, and we all heard legends of kids who struck it rich after pulling a Charizard. Opening a fresh booster to find a rare card was a thrill only matched by stumbling across a shiny in the grass.
