Everything comes in a nice premium box, although the packaging has changed since the previous ETBs for Black Bolt and White Flare were released. Rather than cardboard dividing up contents and giving the ETB its shape, there’s now a plastic tray. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but it does feel a bit cheaper than what we’ve seen in the p
Hot on the heels of Pokemon Black and White , the Pokemon Co. is prepping to launch the enw Pokemon TCG collecting guide|https://pokemontcgdeck.com/ TCG Trainer Challenge in April. We were able to get our hands on the browser based game at PAX East 2011 and what we experienced was an accessible and fun way to enter the Pokemon TCG ar
Overall, _Pokémon TCG _ collectors deserve fair access to cards, and scalpers have become a major barrier to that fair access. Walmart’s effortst to prevent scalping over the holidays is a great thing for honest collectors, and fans are hopeful it will move the needle on a long-standing problem in the indus
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma threatens existence. Half of the Ultra Recon Squad wants to stop it while the others wish to use its power. Forbidden Light features Necrozma recently absorbing the power of a legendary Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon in existence must either choose to side with it or go up against it. So let’s see exactly what’s in store for your card battles with some items provided by TriplePoint PR.
TCGPlayer calculates pull rates in-house, with members of its Authentication Center personally **opening 5,000 packs of Mega Evolutions ** to determine the rarity of all its various card types. So you can be sure that those one in 1,260 rates aren’t just a bit of Pokémon Company marketing; they really are that r
The **Pokémon Trading Card Game ** has revealed its lowest pull rates ever, making it almost impossible to get a particular type of card. Pokémon put out its new Mega Evolutions set on September 26. An otherwise unremarkable set, it focuses on Mega Evolved Pokémon, with a variety of different cards in different rarities as us
Pokemon card game vets can also gain a lot from the Trainer Challenge . The game offers an advanced collection feature, where players can view and sort their cards. The cards can be sorted by several categories from Pokemon type to evolution chains. Those who are active in the card game community can purchase future decks and import them into the online version via a QR code or serial number. The QR code can be scanned with a webcam and instantly added to the game, without having to type anything in. This is a welcomed change from the standard micro-transaction model that would be expected with this type of product. Instead of paying money for a virtual item, people can just buy a physical deck and have the best of both wor
The Pokemon TCG Online Trainer Challenge is highly recommended to those who are apprehensive about picking up a trading card game, as well as Pokemon TCG veterans who wish to evolve their skills. Look for the Trainer Challenge to launch in early April at the main Pokemon TCG si
Pokémon games as of recently have been showing off great storylines. There has been more emphasis on them and with greater consequences. But the trading card game has always been a step ahead. It always has something interesting to tell as it doesn’t abide by the standards of the video game world. The latest expansion of the card series, however, sort of falls in-between.
Mega Evolution ex cards of Venosaur, Lucario, Gardevoir, and Kangaskhan are all standouts, and will undoubtedly be chase cards, but even common cards like Shuckle (which can heal one of your Pokémon for 30 HP) have their uses. While I didn’t get any of the biggest chase cards, I did pull regular Mega Evolution ex versions of Absol, Latias, and Gardevoir, which was enough for me to experiment with the new mecha
Next, up is the Twilight Rogue themed deck with Dusk Lycanroc on the cover. This particular Lycanroc card has average HP with 120 and two attacks. First is Dangerous Rogue, which acts similar to Tropical Shake, as it deals 20 more for every Pokémon on your opponent’s bench. If they were smart and see this card on the field, they’ll want to refrain from stocking up. Lycanroc also has its signature Accelrock attack which deals a whopping 100! It lives up to its namesake by rocking you at an accelerated pace. The Dusknoir included, however, will help out with that strategy. Send it out first and you will be able to use its ability to place Pokémon from your opponent’s hand onto their bench. Then, attach 30 damage counters to it in the process! You can speed up how quickly you want to knock them out. Its Mind Jack attack does the same thing as Dangerous Rogue but with 30 instead of 20.
In terms of past ETBs, the ones for Mega Evolution doesn’t feel all that different. It’s got nice items for newcomers who may not have dice or coins yet, even if this box is mostly for collectors. The Alakazam promo in the Gardevoir ETB is one of the cooler cards I’ve seen featured in this year’s offerings, and everything inside the box still feels high-qual
