Pokemon TCG Online: Trainer Challenge Hands-On
Players and players-to-be of all ages are welcome to pick up and play a Pokemon game however, young children make up a significant portion of the user base. To protect children while they play online, a robust parental control system was put in place. Parents even have the ability to control the level of trading their child can participate in to prevent them from being taken advantage
Pokémon TCG battles are always intense, whether playing against friends or taking on top competitors. Players get fired up no matter what level they're at as it's a contest to be the best and everyone wants to win. Luckily, we got to take a look at a new product that could help burn down the competition. Pokémon Company supplied us with the Charizard-GX Premium Collection which features one of the biggest Pokémon ever!
Picking up the box gets you a number of fun goodies that fans can enjoy. Three cards are already displayed front and center: Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard are shown to let you know exactly what is coming. Each one looks pretty useful with great HP for Charmander and average attacks on Charmeleon. Then the Charizard-GX card has a huge surge meant for taking down your opponents in a massive way as it has an enormous 250 HP, which makes it pretty much built like a tank. Three energies of any kind allows it to use Wing Attack and inflict 70 damage, that's enough to take out almost all Pokémon in one to three hits! Then comes Crimson Storm which deals a whopping 300 damage! You have to discard three Fire-type energy from Charizard but it will end up becoming a deciding factor during any battle. The GX attack is sure to be helpful if you're being strategic. Raging Out allows you to discard the top ten cards of your enemy's deck. That makes it great to have up your sleeve if a match has been dragging along and can knock them out by reducing their deck to zero. Less cards means an advantage in your favor! Charizard-GX packs a lot into not only obliterating Pokémon but dismantling any rival's morals all in a single crushing turn that they'll have a hard time recovering from!
There are currently over seventy new cards to collect from the Sun and Moon expansion. All these new Pokémon, abilities, attacks and items are worth studying as you never know what can happen now. It's up to you how to build a deck and hopefully reading the information here will help put you on the path to victory. The themed decks and booster packs are just the beginning. Pokémon Sun and Moon are completely rewriting the rules of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Make sure you are ready for the trials to come.
As was reported by PokéBeach , a new special set called MEGA Dream ex ** will be released in Japan on November 28** , and some of the upcoming cards for the expansion have already been revealed. For reference, read this blog article from Pokemontcgdeck new expansion is this year’s annual High Class Pack set. The new Mega Dragonite from Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be the cover Pokémon for the set, but there is another one that already stands
While each deck gives you a great basis for building a team, there are brand new ways to play if opening a few booster packs. You know the Alolan region is home to some familiar faces. Some Pokémon from the Kanto region have been given a makeover in generation VII. In the Trading Card Game, those few individuals have been given a unique trait which will serve them well in battle. These Pokémon are allowed to use an attack without using up any energy cards. They may be weak or non-damaging but can certainly help. Alolan Persian uses Taunt which allows you to switch your opponent's active Pokémon with one from their bench. Alolan Rattata inflicts 20 damage with Gnaw. Mixing a few of these into your deck can really throw an opponent off their game. With no energy to use, it makes sense to at least include something that can chip away at the enemy while they try and build up for an attack. It can really mess with their own strategy and frees up room for more cards in your own deck.
Our haul turned out to be a fantastic pick-up for Pokémon fans. Any card collector will need to get the Charizard-GX Premium Collection, and gamers shouldn't pass up the opportunity for plushies either! The cards can be purchased starting September 24 at Target stores but other locations in October. Pre-order Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon before its November 17 release to get the plush key chains. Catch them all, collect them all and enjoy them all!
We were also lucky enough to checkout some plush toys that are usually only available in a very specific manner. Those who pre-order Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are given one of three plush key chains of the Alolan starters: Litten, Popplio and Rowlet, each of which is so adorable. They are made of soft fabric and very detailed with all markings and features present, and are very high quality, coming directly from the Pokémon Center. Plastic hooks in matching colors are attached to each one. Use them to clip onto various belongings such as purses, car keys, curtain rods or backpacks just to name a few. For those who plan on getting Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the pre-order bonus isn't a bad deal at all, and hopefully you will be able to get the one you favor the most!
