Featured Cards
If you like longshot odds, Greedy Dice is for you. If you take it as a Prize card and then flip heads, you get to take another Prize card—otherwise, it has no effect!
The Ninja Boy Supporter card is full of crafty potential: you can quickly swap out a Basic Pokémon in play for one from your deck. Perhaps you were forced to play Energy on the wrong Pokémon, or needed to switch Pokémon to get a good type matchup. In either situation, Ninja Boy is the perfect solution.
Get rid of the lingering effects of attacks with the Pokémon Ranger Supporter card. This card affects both players and all Pokémon in play. Effects of attacks can be even more problematic than damage, so getting free of them can make or break your strategy for winning!
Special Energy cards are a limited resource, so when they end up in the discard pile, it can really mess up your plan. That's about to change with Special Charge, an Item card that lets you shuffle two of them back into your deck!
Stifle your opponent with Shiftry and its vexing Wicked Wind attack. It shuts down the effect of all Stadium cards and Tool cards in addition to doing 40 damage—all for the cost of one Grass Energy.
Volcarona is a Grass- and Fire-type Pokémon with attacks to match. Its Shimmering Scales attack, which comes with a Special Condition, is typical for a Grass-type Pokémon. Power Hurricane is a strong attack that requires you to discard Energy, like those often found on Fire-type Pokémon.
Spread your wings with the golden Talonflame BREAK, a Pokémon that competes with the power of a Pokémon-EX. Not only does it have 170 HP, its Flare Blitz attack pounds your opponent for 150 damage.
With an attack that does 180 damage, Pyroar BREAK can go paw to paw with even tough Pokémon-EX, but at a cost—when it uses Kaiser Tackle, it also does 50 damage to itself. But it only has to last a few rounds to make a big difference in battle!
Volcanion-EX combines the forces of fire and water into one incredible card. Its Steam Up Ability quickly powers up Basic Fire-type Pokémon, and its Volcanic Heat attack delivers a scorching 130 damage.
Clawitzer BREAK is the ultimate set-up Pokémon. Its Lock-On attack keeps the Defending Pokémon from retreating—and if your next attack hits that Pokémon, it does a huge 120 extra damage!
No Pokémon is safe against Galvantula—either attack your opponent's Bench with Double Thread, or trap the Active Pokémon with Electroweb. Either way, your opponent is bound for a shock!
Take sure shots at your opponent with Bisharp, whose Mach Claw attack ignores Resistance. Bisharp can also strike back after an ally has been Knocked Out with its Retaliate attack.
Turn out the lights on your opponent with Yveltal BREAK's awesome Baleful Night attack. It's particularly nightmarish for Benched Pokémon that have already taken damage, doing 30 damage to each of them.
Both of Steelix-EX's attacks are quite costly, but they do enough damage to make them worth it. Wild Edge is the more reliable attack, maxing out at 130 damage. Iron Tail does nothing if your first coin flip is tails—but if you keep flipping heads, it has the potential to Knock Out any Pokémon you face.
Mega Steelix-EX builds on the power (and Energy requirements) of Steelix-EX with its powerful Canyon Axe attack. It also has 240 HP, making it one of the sturdiest Pokémon in the Pokémon TCG.
Yanmega is an answer for the tough Pokémon Tool cards being played right now, such as all those Spirit Link cards. Better yet, with the Sonic Vision Ability, you can attack for free if you arrange your hand just right—an Ability that remains if you choose to evolve into Yanmega BREAK.
Give your Pokémon extra protection with Magearna-EX and its Mystic Heart Ability, which keeps your Pokémon safe from additional effects of attacks as long as they have Metal Energy attached (although damage still gets through). Magearna-EX isn't too shabby as an attacker, either: Soul Blaster does 120 damage but powers down on the next turn.
This bright yellow Shiny Azumarill is more than just cute to look at—it's also brilliant in battle. Its Bubble Drain does a decent 80 damage, but importantly it also heals 30 damage from Azumarill, letting it stay in the fight longer.
Gardevoir-EX is as menacing as it is elegant, with two attacks that can do 100 damage or more. Luminous Blade is especially dangerous, capable of doing 120 damage every turn with little effort.
Mega Gardevoir-EX works well as a strategic effort to get Pokémon into the discard pile, or as a last-ditch gambit for glory. Its Despair Ray attack starts at 110 damage and gets more powerful with every Benched Pokémon you discard.
Put your mind at ease about type matchups with Yanmega BREAK's Barrier Break attack: it does 100 damage that ignores Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on its target. With all the dual-type Pokémon in XY—Steam Siege, this could certainly be a game changer.
Tap into the full Energy potential of your team with Xerneas BREAK and its incredible Life Stream attack. With it, you'll do 20 damage times the amount of Energy attached to all of your Pokémon!
Hydreigon BREAK pushes the limits with an incredible 190 HP and its devastating Calamity Blast attack, which does 150 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon, plus 50 damage to two of their Benched Pokémon.
Get off to a hot start with Talonflame, a Stage 2 Pokémon whose Gale Wings Ability lets you set it up as your Active Pokémon to start the game. Then, for only one Colorless Energy, do 40 damage and search your deck for any two cards you need. What a way to begin your next battle!
Lure out your opponent's Pokémon with the Captivating Poké Puff, letting you pull vulnerable Basic Pokémon into play before your opponent can react. Note that if you pick a Basic Pokémon that has an Ability that activates "when you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench," that Ability won't happen if you use a Captivating Poké Puff to yank one of those Pokémon from your opponent's hand into play!
