    “Pokemon TCG Pocket” Immersive Collecting App Coming in 2024!

    i was mad confused when this first got announced an hour ago but looking at it now, it makes more sense with pokemon go and pokemon masters ex being fairly complete mobile projects, the next generation of pokemon mobile games has been going on (starting with pokemon sleep) this honestly...

    Infernape Line, Pinsir, and New Illustration Rares Revealed from “Crimson Haze!”

    i feel like this perspective defeats the purpose of conversations around game balance to begin with? anything can be broken in a vacuum, especially something that SEEMS super powerful like rain dance. however, the reality is that mechanics are only as good as the support surrounding it. that's...

    Worlds 2026 To Be Held in San Francisco!

    san francisco is fine i'm still really not a fan of next worlds being in hawaii, given how tourism has historically debilitated local and indigenous communities in hawaii, but it is what it is

    grass types have been getting screwed over, but isn't Serperior VSTAR a staple in Arc Pile decks right now?

    Van Gogh Pikachu Promos Being Pre-Scalped in the Netherlands, Another Botched Release Feared

    LGSs are still important parts of the TCG, because they're one of the few sources for in-person community gathering, but it shouldn't be super surprising that LGSs are resorting to these business tactics. they're doing what they can to get ahead, and while it can be upsetting, this isn't...

    “Stellar Miracle” Trademark Filed for the Pokemon TCG!

    this would definitely be cool in terms of collectability, but on a competitive level, a lot would have to be done in order for this kind of mechanic to be both (1) not useless and (2) not broken the crystal types in gen 2, as we know, were historically some of the worst cards in pokemon tcg...

    Buddy Poffin from “Wild Force” and “Cyber Judge!”

    WOW this card is broken lol it is good that you cant grab big basic pokemon from this card, such as two-prizers and relevant radiant pokemon. in theory, this helps stage 2 decks catch up with big basic decks in terms of speed. that being said, this is gonna make lost zone and charizard ex...

    Walking Wake ex, Iron Leaves ex, and More Revealed from “Wild Force” and “Cyber Judge!”

    the problem is that accelerating energy to it will be difficult, and youd have to consume a lot of resources to pull off the combo you mentioned here. where at that point, that amount of damage can easily done by other decks for less resources

    “Mabosstiff ex Box” Revealed for February!

    we can now put mabosstiff ex on the list of paldean pokemon to get an ex! i like the artwork of this card a lot, it'll slide into a binder quite nicely unfortunately, it's not looking like this card will be very good competitively. it does have a few things going for it ~ hitting 220 damage is...

    “Shiny Treasure ex” Secret Rares Revealed: 170 Cards!

    it definitely is unfortunate that there are so few illustration rare cards. with that being said, the illustration rares that we do have in this set are absolute peak usgmen's mew ex has got to be one of my new favorite cards. usgmen has been making cute and silly pokemon animations for a while...

    “Shiny Treasure ex” Main Set Fully Revealed, Features New Reverse Holo Style!

    partners to espathra ex: new moon lunatone & solrock - by shutting off the effects of stadiums on espathra ex, your opponent can't get past its ability through path to the peak. as a matter of fact, for even more disruption, espathra ex could potentially use path to the peak ITSELF alongside...

    “Shiny Treasure ex” Main Set Fully Revealed, Features New Reverse Holo Style!

    the new espathra ex is ... a bug type? it looks pretty cool! the grass energy typing to this card means that if a roaring moon ex has 3 energy attached to it, espathra ex can OHKO it. however, the main attraction is the ability that makes opponent's attacks cost one colorless more. alongside...

    Special Illustration Rare Arven from “Shiny Treasure ex”

    it shouldnt come as a surprise that arven is seeing a lot of reprints in the tcg, as it's quickly turned into one of the strongest supporters in the meta as well as arven being a well-liked character in the main games. i still think i like the regular full art the most, but arven's mabosstiff...

    Shiny Toedscruel ex, Pidgeot ex from “Shiny Treasure ex”

    i think this is the first time seeing the full art variant of toedscruel ex? i like how the more recent full art ex's have the pokemon in action rather than just standing there. it also helps that toedscruel's shiny rocks, and that it's a decent enough card in competitive play to eek out a rogue...

    Cyclizar, Shiny Wigglytuff Line from “Shiny Treasure ex”

    obviously not supposed to be a competitive card, but this new cyclizar card at least gives us insight on what cyclizar's dragon typing looks like in the tcg. i would've expected it to be fighting and electric to match the typings of koraidon and miraidon's types. maybe if there's a good...
