Top 5 Pokemon ex from Obsidian Flames

What’s poppin’ PTCGL Store readers? Have you started looking into Pokemon TCG’s newest set, Obsidian Flames? Discover the realization of the game-changing Terastal mechanic that has Pokemon changing their typing from what they usually are. Tyranitar ex is usually a Darkness-type Pokemon or a Fighting-type Pokemon, but in Obsidian Flames Tyranitar ex is a Lightning-type Pokemon. The change of typing might not seem like much, but it still takes Fighting-type Energy instead of Lightning-type Energy. That means you can gain strong type coverage against the metagame by pairing it with Tyranitar [Paldea Evolved], Tyranitar [Pokemon Go], and Luminous Energy [Paldea Evolved] to make a masterpiece of a strategy! Are there other powerful Pokemon ex in this set? Of course! In this article, I’ll share my personal top five Pokemon ex in the set, and explain why they are great! If you wanna pick up some codes for this set, and you should, use code zlesage5 to save 5% at ptcglstore.com! Not only does it help support me, but it will help boost your online Pokemon TCG Live collection too! Now let’s jump into my number five pick!

What’s poppin’ PTCGO Store readers? The 2023 Pokemon TCG European International Championships (or EUIC for short) has concluded, and there are many takeaways from this event to apply to other upcoming events. To kick things off, this was the first global event after our 2023 Rotation in our new E-block on format, which means the results of this event will directly impact what decks players will play for the foreseeable future.

With thousands of dollars on the line, high amounts of Championship Points offered, and the best players travelling to this event from all around the world, EUIC is an event to really dive into. In this article, I’ll be sharing the top 8 deck lists from this event, the strategy of each deck, and the PTCG Live code cards that I recommend picking up to help complete these decks.

Welcome to this new world where E-block on cards are Standard legal, and we have access to Scarlet and Violet!

What’s poppin’ PTCGO Store readers? I’m sure all of you are getting ready to Migrate from PTCGO to Pokemon TCG Live, prepare for Rotation, and we are getting Scarlet and Violet very soon! It's definitely an exciting time to be a Pokémon TCG fan! As much as I’m excited about all of those things, I’m really excited for Paldea Evolved - our second Scarlet and Violet era set that should release globally in June. We recently saw a few cards coming out in Japan’s Snow Hazard, and Clay Burst sets and those cards will likely make it into our Paldea Evolved set. I might be a bit early, but there is plenty to look forward to in the Pokemon TCG, and Paldea Evolved might be the best set that we’ve had in years. In this article, I will be sharing the translations for some of my personal favourite cards, why they are good and more!

Top 5 Best Cards in Scarlet and Violet

What’s goin’ on, PTCGO Store readers? Have you had a chance to look at the latest Pokemon TCG set, Scarlet and Violet Base? Based on the Nintendo Switch games, Scarlet and Violet, this set features a redesign of the Pokemon TCG as we know it. All Scarlet and Violet base set and on cards feature a new silver border to bring the game’s aesthetic in line with Japan for the first time ever! On top of that, Pokemon ex returns to the Pokemon TCG for the first time in years! Pokemon ex are powerful Pokemon that Evolve from their natural Evolution line instead of having specially printed cards to Evolve from. That means Magnemite [Scarlet and Violet] evolves into Magneton [Scarlet and Violet], and then Magneton evolves into Magnezone ex [Scarlet and Violet]. This is much different than Pokemon VSTAR / VMAX cards from Sword and Shield that would have Duraludon V [Evolving Skies] evolve into a Duraludon VMAX [[Evolving Skies]. It might not sound like much of a change at first, but this places a larger emphasis on Evolution Pokemon, which is an in-game mechanic that hasn’t been as important in recent years. Things are different, things are exciting, and I am hyped to share my top 5 cards from Scarlet and Violet with you! I might even toss in a few honourable mentions too! If you wanna pick up any of the following cards when the set is released later this month on PTCG Live, pick up some codes at the PTCGO Store. You can even use code zlesage5 to save 5% on your order of codes! Let’s jump into my 5th-place pick!
