New Boundaries Crossed Cards: Charizard and Blastoise Reveal!

Charizard (20/139)

Blastoise (35/139)

A couple of days ago, the new Boundaries Crossed cards, Charizard and Blastoise were revealed to the public, the two cards are incredibly powerful, in both attack power and strategy, Charizard can attack 2 Pokemon at once and being possibly the strongest Pokemon NON EX in the set as it can K-O EVERY NON EX! Plus Charizard has 150HP so it can't be 1 Hit K-Oed by another Charizard, but it's enemy...Blastoise! Blastoise has the ability Deluge which can put as many Water Energies on a Pokemon in one turn which can definately help it's attack, quite fittingly, Hydro Pump! Both cards are going to be Holo-Rare and are going to bring new tactics to the game!

Card Examination: Boundaries Crossed's...Black Kyurem EX and White Kyurem EX!

Black Kyurem EX

White Kyurem EX

YAY! I've been waiting for this for a loooong time! Okay, so Black and White Kyurem EX are both cards with massive potential, I'd say that out of the two, White Kyurem is the better, both cards are incredibly maxed out when they have their respective ACE-SPEC cards: Crystal Wall and Crystal Edge, Black Kyurem will then at least need two hits to K-O (from a Dragon-Type) and White Kyurem will have the max damage of 400 damage (again to another Dragon-Type), if you want to make a deck at the Prereleases then you will need mainly Water-Pokemon as they both require Water Energy, I can't say much for Boundaries Crossed yet, but it's gonna be epic, I'll reveal more cards when they come, Crystal Edge and Landorus EX have already been revealed, but what about the odd other 100 cards?

Card Examinations: Next Destinies'... Kyurem EX and Mewtwo EX!

Okay so I didn't put up an examination yesterday because I wanted this to happen! Two in one today guys and gals! First, Kyurem EX, it isn't the best Pokemon-EX but it definately has it's strengths. It is a Basic Water-type and has the ability to get rid of Double Colorless Energies, now you can see why it can be bad for Mewtwo EX, which can use Double Colorless Energy to quickly get an attack damage of 40 on it's own which can swiftly knock out starting Pokemon, but Kyurem can stop this with the Frozen Wings attack, both cards are counterparted in the way that strategically, both have their first Attack to be stronger than their secondary Attack, In these ways you can see why they were made the mascosts of BW3 in Japan.
Good combos with both cards are Giant Cape or Skyarrow Bridge to lower retreat cost and highten HP.
Bye Guys come again soon

Card Examination: Emerging Powers'...Tornadus!

Tornadus (EMP 89/98)

Okay, Tornadus is not a very bulky Legendary at 110 HP, although in gameplay it is a good combination with a variety of Pokemon especially Energy cards, Tornadus is what I call an energizer, it moves Energy around with ease, this is an especially good combo with Mewtwo EX because of X-Ball, for these reasons I have made a variety of decks containing this Tornadus card in particular. I have chosen Tornadus because of my own vanity, I like Tornadus' new Therian Forme and it has always been my favourite member of the Kami Trio, maybe Thundurus can change my tides in the new Thunder Knuckle set in Japan?
Come back soon guys!

Card Examination: Black & White's... Reshiram and Zekrom!

Reshiram (Reprinted)

Zekrom (Reprint)

Okay today's examination is two Pokemon cards: Reshiram and Zekrom  from Pokemon TCG: Black & White, going back to BW1, much like my Kyurem examination, Reshiram and Zekrom both have Outrage which can be a good combination with the Reuniclus from BLW (much like Kyurem) Bolt Strike for Zekrom can power up the Outrage attack and can anniolation many other Pokemon at the same time, although Bolt Strike is risky, use it at the right time and the right pace in game. Blue Flare is equally risky on Reshiram, as it sends 2 Fire Energy cards to the Discard, I'd say that you should use Prism Energies (NXD) to counter discarding too many Energies in a game, quickly change into say: Darkness energies, then you can keep them and change them back to Fire after your attack. In any case both cards are bulky with 130 HP and could be improved with Giant Capes (DREX)

Come back soon for more Pokemon news!

Japanese TCG: Set Names

Spiral Force and Thunder Knuckle booster packs

Hi guys! I have intel about two new Japanese sets! They are called Spiral Force, featuring Deoxys (Normal Forme) and Thunder Knuckle, featuring Thundurus (Therian Forme), the two Pokemon are most likely to be Pokemon-EX and it should also be noted this ends the Kami Trio EX's, Tornadus (Dark Rush/Dark Explorers), Landorus (Freeze Bolt/Boundaries Crossed) and now Thundurus, the sets may also include Virizion EX as the other Sacred Swordsmen have been covered, Terrakion in Dragon Blast (Dragons Exalted), Keldeo in Cold Flare (Boundaries Crossed) and Cobalion (Plasma Gale).

See ya Later!

Card Examination: Dark Explorers'... Empoleon!

Empoleon (DEX 29/108)

DEX's Empoleon (29/108) is a bulky Water-type which can be a powerful arsenal in a deck, it's Ability, Diving Draw, can get rid of the useless cards in your hand and renew them for two times more renewed! A good combination with this is either Energy cards (Diving Draw) or to power up Attack Command, Basic Pokemon to fill up the bench. This can at lease put up the attack's power to 70, (Empoleon, defending Pokemon and the five benched Pokemon). The draw-back with Empoleon is the fact that it is a fully evolved Pokemon (Stage-2) so another combination with Empoleon is Piplup (it's basic form) and Rare Candy (DEX) as it can fully evolve Piplup in the amount of time it would take to evolve Piplup to Prinplup.
That's it for now. Come back soon for new news and Card Examinations like this... don't forget to check my YouTube channel: Ptown1999.
I'm out!

Card Examination: Dragons Exalted's... Mew EX!

Mew EX (DREX 46/124)

Today's Card Examination is Mew EX DREX (46/124) this Mew EX is a basic reprint of it's old counterpart Mew ex (Ex Legend Maker http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/3b/Mew_ex_Ex_Legend_Maker_88.jpg/180px-Mew_ex_Ex_Legend_Maker_88.jpg) Versatile is Mew EX's strength, it is like Zoroark (BLW) in many ways as it can copy another Pokemon's attacks, so it is powerful in a good percieved deck, possibly with Prism Energies (NXD) so it can use many attacks (using Replace can also be effective) as Mew requires the Energy to use an attack, I would say a combination of Mew EX and Mewtwo EX (NXD) can be a good combo as both of them can use Gardevoir's (NXD) ability, Psychic Mirage, which doubles Psychic Energies by 2, so if Mew EX, Versatile's Mewtwo EX's X Ball, then it basically has the Power of Mewtwo EX but... less powerful...it is quite tiny in the place of HP having 120 HP, it is probably sightly better with the Giant Cape (DREX) which boosts it to 140, it's a bit bulkier then but still knocked out easily by Psychic Pokemon.
That's it from me for now come back again soon!

Card Examination: Noble Victories'...Kyurem!

Kyurem (NVI-24/101)

With the release of Kyurem based sets coming out soon I thought it would be nice if I made a card examination of Kyurem NVI(34/101). For starters, Kyurem is a bulked Water-type Pokemon with 130HP, it's Glaciate attack does 30 damage to every enemy Pokemon, this could be good but the real deal with Kyurem is, like it's fellow Tao Trio members: Reshiram and Zekrom, the Outrage attack, which can do a maximum of 140 damage whilst leaving Kyurem in the balance, a good strategy to go with Kyurem or the other Tao Trio members is, in my opinion, Black & White's Reuniclus BLW(57/114) and Damage Swap, I would gradually place damage onto a slightly bulkier Pokemon (A Pokemon-EX or possibly Wailord DREX(26/124)
If you want to look up more of my Pokemon TCG strategies online you can look at my YouTube channel, Ptown1999, where I have TCG Deck reviews (home-made) and Pokemon Black Version 1 battles (Cynthia/Alder/Battle Subway etc...)
Goodbye and hope you come back soon!
