Hello everyone! Today we are taking a look at the top 6 Cosmic Eclipse cards! Honorable Mentions: Being the largest Pokémon set in history, it was too hard to only choose 6 cards, so have 3 and a half honorable mentions!  Tag Team Supporters Most of these cards give you 2 effects that ultimately lead to one thing; Red and Blue set up a Stage 1 Pokémon GX, Guzma and Hala put cards in your hand, Misty and Lorelei give Water decks another GX attack, etc. Some of these cards are good and you should expect them to make many appearances for the rest of the season until Sword and Shield comes out. Volcarona GX  Volcarona GX came into the game at a time the world was in its favor. The immense Fire type support can help Volcarona be a primary attacker at best (using Welder or Red and Blue to setup Backfire) or a sniper at worst (using Flaming Shot for bonus damage). However, just using Backfire isn't strong enough when the best Pokémon have 240+ HP. Ultra Necrozma Thi

Welcome back! Today, I will be going over my favorite Standard deck, Arcanine! Decklist Note: I haven't updated the deck since May, so don't fill the comments with "yOu ferGOT reSEt STamP" 4 Arcanine (UNB 22) 4 Growlithe (UNB 21) 12 Fire Energy (SM 165) 1 Brock's Grit (TEU 135) 4 Judge Whistle (TEU 146) 1 Judge (LOT 209) 4 Green’s Exploration (UNB 175) 2 Pal Pad (UPR 132) 2 Fiery Flint (DRM 60) 4 Pokégear 3.0 (UNB 182) 4 Welder (UNB 189) 1 Heat Factory Prism Star (LOT 178) 1 Adventure Bag (LOT 167) 4 Acro Bike (CLS 123) 2 Buff Padding (TEU 136) 4 Custom Catcher (LOT 171) 2 Fire Crystal (UNB 173) 1 Power Plant (UNB 183) 2 Red's Challenge (UNB 184) 1 Choice Helmet (LOT 169) This deck honestly isn't the greatest. In the current Standard format, there is no way to search out Growlithes or Arcanines, asides from Red's Challenge (interferes with Welder) and Pokemon Communication (doesn't work well in a deck with only 8 Pokemon

Welcome back! Today we will venture into the Expanded Format with a better version of a Standard deck! The Difference Between Standard and Expanded The Standard Format has cards from 2018 to present. This means that it only has the sets Ultra Prism to Hidden Fates. The Expanded format is both more liberating but in a way, degenerate and insane. It allows cards from 2011 (Black and White) to present. On the one hand, there are more cards to play, but some players play the craziest combos to win on the first turn, which is why the banlist is so long. Pikarom Pikachu and Zekrom Tag Team GX (Pikarom) is a very powerful card on its own. It can do 150 while charging up another Pokemon (like another Pikarom), and can use Tag Bolt GX to take 2-5 Prize Cards all at once, almost certainly winning the game.  What takes it over the edge is all the Lightning support. Electropower makes its damage output higher than what one Choice Band can. Zeraora GX gives the deck mobility and an e

Hello everyone! Today we will be taking a look at the top 6 cards from Hidden Fates! 6. Onix GX To start things off, Onix GX is a card that likes to play on defense. The first attack can stall your opponent while you set up the 5-Energy Heavy Impact. The GX attack can do a lot of damage and block retaliation from your opponent. The Pewter City Gym can add more HP to Onix while Diance Prism Star can up the amount of damage it does since honestly, the damage isn't too impressive.  It can KO Pikachu and Zekrom GX, but it can't do the same for many other Pokemon. Even with its walling/tanking abilities, most Pokemon nowadays can KO it in one hit. At least Zygarde GX can power itself up quickly and boost its damage output higher. 5. Pokémon Center Lady This card did show promise. It was a reprint of a card that saw moderate play during its day... Then I remembered something. Last time, you could use the card and not hurt your deck's consistency. Now though
