Call Energy is a wonderful energy card in our current format. Whenever you attach Call Energy to your active Pokemon, you may search your deck for up to 2 basic Pokemon and put them on your bench. Considering most of our current meta-game is situated around high damage attacks for low energy...

Oshawott Water Pulse: 20 Flip a coin. If heads, the defending pokemon is now asleep. I wish they'd get the attacks right one of these days. Should be confused, ha.

Groudon from Call of Legends is a collectible card and nothing more. Its one of the cards that has a special 'shiny' print, making it a must for Pokemon collectors. Its a shame thats all its good for. Four fighting energy for 80 is completely useless. There are many better choices for less...

Palkia G Lv. X is a good card. Why not a great card? The answer is simply because it plays well with only one deck in our current format - LostGar. Palkia's 'Lost Cyclone' Poke-Power lets you send an 4th or 5th bench Pokemon your opponent may have into the Lost Zone. That helps speed up the...

Honchkrow G has been a personal favorite of mine simply because of how versatile he is. He's a tech that can be used in a variety of situations and for relatively good costs. For no energy, you can search your deck for 2 of ANY combination of stadium and Team Galactic Invention cards. Thats a...

Relicanth from Call of Legends is a card that can be better replaced by a lot of other cards, eliminating him from play in most of our current competitive format. Prehistoric Wisdom lets you send a card to the lost zone and then draw 3 cards. There are a lot of problems with this attack...

Weavile G is a card that has a lot more going for it than against it. For starters, it works as a great tech against Gengar in SP decks, taking advantage of the ghost Pokemon's dark weakness. For no energy, you could use call for family to load up your bench with SP Pokemon, but most SP...

I have to agree that LA introduced a lot of wonky stuff. Kingdra putting out 60 damage turn one after a rare candy for instance. Since then, I would say 80% of decks that are competitive (and even some not-so competitive ones) have had a donk option present, making donks fairly common in...

Research Record is kind of like Pokedex only better. It lets you pick up the top four cards of your deck and re-arrange them as you please - including putting as many of them on the bottom of your deck as you'd like. This is an amazing card for a trainer. Before playing an Uxie or other draw...

Lugia is simply a collectible card. Something you throw in your binder and try to keep in good condition. The artwork on the shiny version is pretty nice and cool to look at it. The shiny Pokemon have always been fun to catch in the games and its nice to see them printed in card form. I...

Dual Ball is a great trainer card that I sometimes feel is a little under appreciated because of the fact that you need to flip coins for it to work. On average, you should flip at least one heads most of the time you use it. For each heads flipped, you get to search your deck for a Pokemon...

Thanks for the corrections! I should have taken a second look at Cheerleader's Cheer, I completely forgot that it was just 1 card your opponent draws and not 3. I also never noticed that with Erika and Imposter Oak. Thank you for pointing these things out. I didn't take a big look at...

Great idea using Espeon Prime as a counter to Machamp! I was thinking of running an Umbreon deck of my own sometime, though I think I might play him with Weavile for more disruption.

Thanks for all the kind comments you guys! Ahhh, I knew I forgot something. Got so caught up in the older formats of the game and our current format that I forgot about the format we just came out of. Claydol was an incredible draw card -a bit broken though :lol:. 2-2 was the norm in most...

'Draw 2 Cards' - From Bill to Uxie! Name: Draw 2 Cards - From Bill to Uxie! Article By: PKMN Trainer Andrew Format: Majestic Dawn - Triumphant Date: February 12th, 2011 It's a really straight forward concept that started way back with Bill in the original base set of Pokémon. The more...
