Pokemon TCG Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box Review

Anyone who has been collecting the Scarlet & Violet _ series of cards undoubtedly has had their eye on this Special Illustration Rare Umbreon ex from the _Prismatic Evolutions set. Not only is this evolved form of Eevee a stunning Terastallized version, but the artwork surrounding Umbreon ex on the card is mesmerizing and hypnot

First up is the Battle Heart Tin featuring Pikachu EX. There have been tins released in the past which are always a good investment for collectors. This particular item depicts an embossed Pikachu on the lid below a clear plastic window. The lid is also depicts a contrasting pattern of a starry sky with a fiery background which makes it appear to subtly hint at Pokémon Sun and Moon. One could also imagine the celestial images as more mechanical which would represent Magearna and the fire is used for Volcanion. Both of these Pokémon, along with Pikachu, are printed along the sides of container. The look itself is very appealing and pokemontcgdeck.com wrote could appeal to fans of both the older and more recent generations. It can even be used to hold all kinds of Pokémon memorabilia when traveling to game nights and competitions.

First we have a double dose of decks with Tropical Takedown and Twilight Rogue. The former features Alolan Exeggutor on the cover. It’s cleverly packaged as the long, neck divides the window of the box. Its contents, however, are what really counts. Alolan Exeggutor comes in with 160 HP which is good to start. Its attack is Tropical Shake which deals a measly 20 damage, but you add 20 more for every basic energy card in your discard pile (but can’t exceed 100). This ups its value as a member of your team and would benefit from going third or fourth in the battle, depending on varying circumstances. As long as there’s a good amount of energy cards in the pile, Exeggutor could wipe out plenty of threats. Alolan Sandslash comes with the deck as well and makes for a fair sweeper. Its ability allows you to draw a card before attacking which helps plan for future moves. Smash Turn needs three energy cards but wallops opponents with 50 damage; doing so means you have to switch it with a benched Pokémon. So, if you need to deal some quick damage and can swap into a beefier ally, Alolan Sandslash is handy.

Along with those powerful cards comes some fun things as well. You receive a huge, much larger version of the Charizard-GX. It can’t be used in legit competitions but makes for a nice collectible to be displayed. There are six booster packs from different sets. You will find cards from Guardians Rising and Burning Shadows expansions. A coin is included featuring Charizard. Use it during matches for certain attacks and other occurrences. Finally, show off a Charizard badge however you wish! It is fully colored and finely detailed. Place it on backpacks, clothing, purses and more to let everyone know your favorite Pokémon. These alone make the entire Charizard-GX Premium Collection well worth the price.

Both decks offer some hard-hitting action which means every opponent you face is going to have to step it up. There are a surprising amount of Dark and Ghost type Pokémon found in the decks. Perhaps that’s what happens when there is Forbidden Light. Strategizing shouldn’t be hard as most of the cards involved compliment each other in some way. Amateurs could fair well in tournaments with either set. As always, every item comes with codes to enter so you can play with all these cards for Pokémon TCG Online.

This stunning Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare card from the Paldean Fates expansion of the Pokémon TCG has continued to have a very volatile value, jumping between $175 to $375. Even with these fluctuations, it remains one of the cards worth the most money from that expansion. As of the time of writing, card 234/091 is showing on TCGPlayer with an average market price of $300.65 U

Pokémon TCG battles are always intense, whether playing against friends or taking on top competitors. Players get fired up no matter what level they’re at as it’s a contest to be the best and everyone wants to win. Luckily, we got to take a look at a new product that could help burn down the competition. Pokémon Company supplied us with the Charizard-GX Premium Collection which features one of the biggest Pokémon ever!

Next up are a couple of Mythical Pokémon packs from the 20th anniversary celebration. We received both September and October’s sets which show off Victini and Keldeo , respectively. Both packages come with a collectible pin of the featured Pokémon, a special card for them, and two booster packs. Just a piece of advice, be sure to inspect them as closely as possible. Our Victini pin had just a bit of gold lining covered on its head from the injected enamel, it’s not going to be detrimental to a fan but it would be to a collector. In stores, check through every box possible before making your selection. The pins are definitely worth it for huge fans of these cuties. They are highly detailed and look great on display. Some fans pick these boxes up just for the pins alone. It really shows off how truly committed they are to their Pokémon partners.
