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.

No combination of Pokémon, Trainers, and Energy cards is perfect, and generally you’ll have to reconfigure your deck before each gym to serve as a hard-counter to its core strategy. Like in the main series games, gyms use decks themed around specific types, but you shouldn’t expect all the same type matchups from the games to work here. pokemon tcg Collecting Guide|https://pokemontcgdeck.com/ types have been reshuffled to fit into six broader categories for the sake of simplicity – for instance, all flying-types in from the games are now normal-types with fighting resistances, so an all-fighting team will get wiped pretty easily by the normal gym.

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.

We also received a Dawn Wings Necrozma-GX tin. A magnificently embossed image of the hybrid Pokémon is featured on front. A printed depiction of it as well as its Dusk Mane counterpart are on each side. It’s a great item for collectors and anyone with plenty of Pokémon cards to carry around. Place all your Pokémon knickknacks in there for trips and events. Since you get the tin, the card automatically comes with. Dawn Wings Necrozma starts out as a Basic Pokémon which already makes it powerful. There is no need for evolutions so you can get right into the action. Its ability allows you to switch it into the fray if it’s on the bench. That means, once you have attached three Psychic energy cards, you can unleash its Dark Flash attack which deals 120 damage and ignores resistance. If you want to get risky and use the GX move, Moon’s Eclipse, it could help out in a jam as long as you have more prize cards than the opponent. It deals 180 damage and prevents all effects and damage to Dawn Wings Necrozma during the opponent’s next turn.

Overall, Mega Evolution feels like an excellent kickoff to a new era of the Pokémon TCG . The artwork for the new “Mega Evolution ex” cards is nice, and the ability to evolve into all-powerful “Mega Evolution ex” versions of popular Pokémon should be a real crowd-pleaser.
