    Discussion Could Lokix/Cetitan serve as an example of the ideal Reversal Energy deck?

    One much anticipated card in Paldea Evolved is Reversal Energy, which was recently released in Japan's Snow Hazard. While we have seen the similar Scramble Energy used to much success in the EX era, the Scarlet & Violet era has a much faster and more cutthroat gameplay dynamic, and so far...

    Wi-Fi Trades Looking for shiny event Amoonguss, trading away shiny event Clefairy

    https://www.serebii.net/events/dex/591.shtml In August 9 of 2020, a shiny Amoongus based on that used by Baik Jongyoon was distributed through Serial Code in South Korea. The code, however, was not region locked, and anyone in the world with the code could redeem it. I had previously claimed a...

    Collecting I think I've discovered something about ADP.

    When looking at my GXs, I've always felt that my Arceus, Dialga & Palkia GX looked somewhat more... subdued than my other GXs. And today I just found out why. My copy of ADP came out of a Zacian V League Battle Deck, which also featured two Zacian V. Now, I'm sure that Pokemon prints the cards...

    Discussion Even matchups in the Sword and Shield era of the Pokemon TCG.

    A while back I discovered a website called Retro Pokemon TCG (https://jklaczpokemon.wordpress.com), which is best summer up by the statement underneath the website title, which reads "History, decks and strategies for formats from 1999 to 2016, written by 3-time World Champion Jason Klaczynski."...

    Alt. Format TEU-EVS Blacephalon casual list modification suggestions

    I was wondering if it would be fine to post this in a separate thread than the one I just posted, or if doing so would be regarded as "flooding." Then I saw the rule about one deck list per thread. That sealed the question. Pokemon: Blacephalon UNB32 x4 Volcarona V EVS21 x2 Crobat V Darkness...

    Alt. Format TEU-EVS casual Blissey suggestions

    Me and my brother have built several deck lists for the Sword and Shield format. We are playing using cards from Team Up through Evolving Skies, although some of our lists are probably outdated. The thing is, most of the lists weren't big players in the Evolving Skies prerotation standard...

    Standard Updating my Expanded Blacephalon list to CRE Standard.

    I have an expanded format Blacephalon deck from a few formats ago (none of the cards are newer than Crobat V, but I don't think it's quite that old) that I wish to update to the Chilling Reign standard format (actually I wish to update it to the Evolving Skies pre-rotation format, but since that...

    Collecting Special Delivery Pikachu only ever released in North America! Any other cards released in this way?

    You know how a lot of people are frustrated that America never gets any Pokémon card that hasn't released in Japan, but that Japan and other countries outside of America get Pokémon cards that never appear in the U.S.? I just realized that the Special Delivery Pikachu promo was only available...

    Discussion What are the most original effects of SWSH?

    Each era of Pokémon has its highs and lows. The current generation of Pokémon has some of the best artwork the TCG has seen in a decade, and has done a better job than any other at making top-tier cards more easily available, thanks to the Trainers Toolkit, modern Battle Arena decks, and a more...

    TCG Fakes My early Pokémon TCG Faking Experiences

    Hi! My name is... well, actually, just call me Charmaster. (Number 1 rule of social media: never share your real name.) I discovered Pokebeach while looking for a picture of the contents of the first Trainer's Toolkit, and for about a year I used Pokebeach as my source of Pokemon TCG news. Not...

    TCG Fakes How many Pokémon know Deck and Cover?

    I was considering designing a Pokémon card that meshes with Accelgor from Dark Explorers... the Deck and Cover one... in a similar way to Amoongus from Team Up with Spore Pokémon... but I was wondering if any other Pokémon know this attack. It seemed like an interesting theme mechanic and...

    Collecting How likely is it that a pack fresh card will be PSA 9 or better?

    I’m curious because I’m wondering if it’s worth getting my Zamazenta V black and gold full Art graded when it finally arrived. If there is a good chance of it being Mint or GEM Mint, I would be more likely to do so. I understand that not all pack-fresh cards are PSA 10, and that many more...

    General Jungle Predicted Alolan Exeggutor Two Decades Previously!

    I just noticed that the artwork for booster boxes containing Japanese Jungle packs have artwork for ALOLAN EXEGGUTOR on them! Same long neck! They predicted it twenty years in advanced! Anyone have anything to say on how this happened?

    Collecting How big are the trays for the Pokémon Ultra Premium Collection?

    Are big are the trays for the Pokémon Ultra Premium Collection? In comparison to an Elite Trainer Box? How many cards can it fit? I need to know because me and my brother (who also collects Pokémon cards) split for an Ultra Premium collection and he is saying he will give me an empty elite...

    Expanded Converting my poor Standard Blacephalon to a more viable expanded variant. Advise?

    I have made this decklist for my revamped, expanded format Blacephalon (aka Baby Blowns) deck. I think I hit all the essential cards but any advise in terms of techs, or advise on whether or not I made a wise choice in removing Great Ball, Giant Hearth, and Superior Energy Retrieval? Finally...

    Fun What would the 61st card of your deck be?

    I’ve heard a lot of people talk about what their 61st card would be if they were allowed one extra card for their deck, and I thought, well, maybe this should be a thread, so now it is. If you were allowed to add one extra card to your deck, what would that card be? How significantly do you...

    Discussion What Evolution Lines and Individual Cards would you include in your cube?

    Recently I read the Cube Root (https://www.pokebeach.com/2016/06/the-cube-root)and I found it quite inspiring as I have recently designed a mutant cube balanced for XY and earlier using cards in my collection. My cube is only a small one at 360 cards plus 20 basic energy of each type, and it...
