Revision history for Pokemon TCG Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box Review
Additions:
Playing Pokémon Trading Card Game teaches you when to reshuffle and how to evolve your Pokémon, but most importantly it teaches you what all the words on the cards mean. Terminology like "Pokémon Powers" can be a little tough to keep track of, and some trainer card effects are downright arcane. This game lets you learn exactly how they function by trial and error. The computer calculates effects and handles things like coin flips for you, and after playing for a while you should be able to extrapolate what cards you haven't seen before mean.
Picking up the box gets you a number of fun goodies that fans can enjoy. Three cards are already displayed front and center: Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard are shown to let you know exactly what is coming. Each one looks pretty useful with great HP for Charmander and average attacks on Charmeleon. Then the Charizard-GX card has a huge surge meant for taking down your opponents in a massive way as it has an enormous 250 HP, which makes it pretty much built like a tank. Three energies of any kind allows it to use Wing Attack and inflict 70 damage, that's enough to take out almost all Pokémon in one to three hits! Then comes Crimson Storm which deals a whopping 300 damage! You have to discard three Fire-type energy from Charizard but it will end up becoming a deciding factor during any battle. The GX attack is sure to be helpful if you're being strategic. Raging Out allows you to discard the top ten cards of your enemy's deck. That makes it great to have up your sleeve if a match has been dragging along and can knock them out by reducing their deck to zero. Less cards means an advantage in your favor! Charizard-GX packs a lot into not only obliterating Pokémon but dismantling any rival's morals all in a single crushing turn that they'll have a hard time recovering from!

The latest **Pokémon Trading Card Game ** set is Mega Evolution , an appropriately named expansion that introduces "Mega Evolution ex" cards to the TCG.

This will be a very popular set, as proven by the Phantasmal Flames scalper purchases , which already exceed 42,000 sets. A lot of this is due to the expected value of the cards that will be included in it .

It puts Mega Gengar front and center in the art, making its darker color palette contrast with the bright neon colors from the rest of the scenario. The vanilla card is already expected to be one of the most valuable cards in Phantasmal Force thanks to the community’s appreciation of Gengar, combined with its gameplay value.

Though today you can stuff stereoscopic 3D and console-quality graphics into your backpack, that once seemed inconceivable. Handhelds have evolved quickly, but we shouldn’t forget the games that made them great in the first place. Though these games lack raw processing muscle, they have a power all their own.
We were also lucky enough to checkout some plush toys that are usually only available in a very specific manner. Those who pre-order Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are given one of three plush key chains of the Alolan starters: Litten, Popplio and Rowlet, each of which is so adorable. They are made of soft fabric and very detailed with all markings and features present, and are very high quality, coming directly from the Pokémon Center. Plastic hooks in matching colors are attached to each one. Use them to clip onto various belongings such as purses, car keys, curtain rods or backpacks just to name a few. For those who plan on getting Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the pre-order bonus isn't a bad deal at all, and hopefully you will be able to get the one you favor the most!

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.

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

The new gimmick doesn't work all that differently from regular ex cards, but it can mean more OP Pokémon are on your team — or on your opponent's team. It's best not to think of Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards as a brand-new change, but more of an improvement over the existing way ex cards w
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.

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.

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 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.
On top of that new advantage comes the introduction of GX cards. These look similar in appearance to previously released EX cards depicting the Pokémon in the entirety of the card in an action-packed pose. They have unique a unique third attack which can only be used once per battle. This is exactly how Z-Moves work in the video game series. It will up your critical thinking tenfold as there needs to be a precise and necessary moment to use the move. GX moves can differ as well. Certain cards and Pokémon have specific actions and could have consequences. Snorlax unleashes a deadly 210 worth of damage but immediately is put to sleep afterwards. Primarina lets you heal all of your Pokémon but figuring out when is the problem. Espeon gives you ten damage counters to place on your opponents team however you want which could lead to a quick victory depending on what's there.
We received a couple of themed decks and booster packs to check out, courtesy of TriplePoint and the Pokémon Company. The decks are Bright Tide, Forest Shadow and Roaring Heat. Each one features their respective starter Pokémon on the gorgeously embossed packaging. Each of the Pokémon's outline poke into the cutout opening which adds a nice touch of how involved they can be with their own decks. Inside all boxes are similar items. A deck of 60 cards, a checklist, one metallic coin, a playmat, deck box and damage counters. The back of the packaging even lists the contents of the Pokémon you will receive along with a few images.
The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Destined Rivals _ set centers around Team Rocket and therefore has many impressive cards for Team Rocket and their Pokémon companions. Naturally, as the head of Team Rocket, Giovanni's card with his elite Mewtwo ex is one of the most coveted of the set. "Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex" has been the most valuable _Destined Rivals card since the set launched in May 2
Speaking of which, Forest Shadow features the mysteriously shrouded Decidueye. There are only Grass and Normal-type Pokémon in this deck which could help or hinder your battles. Decidueye uses Leaf Blade to inflict 30 damage but a flip of the coin could double that in no time while Brave Bird deals a whopping 120 damage but can take a toll on the user by hurting itself. Use Brave Bird wouldn't be the best idea especially with Decidueye's lower HP total of 140. As mentioned before, the use of all Grass and Normal Pokémon means you won't have to split your energies as much as you would for the Bright Tide deck. However, this will definitely leave you vulnerable to plenty of Fire-type opponents.
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.
