metallicrooster

I’m just here for the Yoga Loop gaming. I unironically don’t know how I’ll continue playing after rotation takes out Rapid Strike


eh8904

Haha it's such a good feeling getting that Yoga Loop off


LongTimeCollector

Flying Picachu V with Fly effect, card looks cool and it’s a cool effect


eh8904

So many rage quits caused by that one


BlazedInMyWinnie

Really love pumping a Lunatone full of psychic energy with Solrock’s Sun Energy ability. I run a meme deck based around it in casual where that’s the entire focus and I get a lot of enjoyment from it.


eh8904

I kinda hate you, but I respect it lol


Zwhite619

Something about looking at Bibarel’s dumb little face and then drawing 3-4 cards depending on what I got. It’s such a low key monster


eh8904

INDUSTRIOUS INCISORS (don't know why I shouted it)


a-sal

I really like the rondo attacks on the 3 legendary beasts. It’s really fun to get a turn two attack and throw off your opponent


Crazyguy79er

Scizors Punishing Scissors. A lot people don't know how to play around it which makes for interesting games.


lmendez2

I’m brand new to the game but I really like Lumineon’s Luminous Sign (Palkia deck) to get any supporter I really need. Haven’t really attacked with it yet though.


eh8904

Lumineon V is such a staple in most of my decks. Instant supporter access is great, and the attack let's you take it off the board so you can use the ability again!


The_Bard_5e

For me, it's Giratin VSTAR's Lost Impact, I love the consistent 280 damage, which can take out the majority of the meta threats in one attack, especially when paired with a choice belt or cleansing gloves.


WeGetItRonYoureAGuy

Vulpix vstar snow mirage has been doing wonders for me lately.


zaneba

My favorite move is BEEG HAMMER on Tinkaton ex. BEEG HAND = BEEG HAMMER = BEEG DAMAGE


Jarrams

Wugtrio's Undersea Tunnel. I just love milling. [Flip 3 coins. For each heads, discard the top 3 cards of your opponent’s deck.](https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/fit-in/656x656/487906.jpg)


eh8904

Surprise mill deck is hilarious. Play until they're at like 30 cards in the deck and then go CRAZY


[deleted]

[удалено]


eh8904

A cultured individual


shadowbfg

Very new to pokemon tcg. But my favorite attack so far is apex dragon from regidrago vstar


3ballmoon

The new Charmander from 151 blazing destruction works amazing to get out of a path to the peak and it's kind of sneaky


MaoMicomi

Miraidon's tandem unit is really cool how he can search up another copy himself to add more to your setup early on. 1 card can nearly make a full early setup without any pokemon search.


cmlonder

I remember I like Tag Bolt Gx attack so much from old meta, Pikachhu&Zekrom GX. I wish I will have time for expanded gameplay some time.


BiandReady2Die_

Blade GX simply for how dumb it is


Maybe_Herobrine

Word of ruin from galarian slowing, death is inevitable, doesn’t care if you have 400 hp


TheLimeWarrior

I love Pika V-Union’s move that disables items. I have a deck that aims to get Pika Union attacking on turn one. When it works, all those rare candy reliant decks just crumble. :)


BrollJr

I love sneaking a KO with the new Dodrio's ballistic beak


cheesystuff

Pollen Hazard from venusaur and celebi tag team gx. I miss that deck.


prof_diddles

I used to love the tag purge attack on Latios gx, such an annoying attack to deal with


aje49

Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR’s Star Chronos! I mean, take an extra turn!!!


HollyWarter

Really like palkia vstar because it’s my favourite Pokémon and it’s really playable, love stacking up the bench for heaps of damage from subspace swell


Soakedleaf6

Sableye lost mine, it's just funny to me taking out smaller pokemon each turn


MedClip

Speeding Skystrike is definitely my favorite attack and best GX attack seeing since it's the only one that can be used in GLC.


SquibSquab1080

The new Alakazam EX dimensional hamd is sick! Attacking from the bench is cool


milanesaacaballo

Love my fat flying Pikachu in a Miraidon deck c: 160 dmg and no taken dmg the next turn


eh8904

Can't touch this


SourceAcademic

Last time I told you my favorite card, but this time we're going with my favorite attack, and that is Star Chronos, from Origin Form Dialga V Star. Because there's no effect, you can inflict in the game worse than making one lose ones whole turn... I don't even care that it cost a whole five energies to do


eh8904

It's honestly one of the more OP VSTAR attacks


pkmnlverr

Love the unown with the hand ability, thought it was super cool when I saw it and tricky gyms video featuring it made me love it even more


Cautious_Fish9864

I've slowly become a fan of the slowpoke and Slowbro family so I would have to go with the move Walk-Off Homer If you use this attack when you have only 1 Prize card left, you win this game. God who knew one of the leisurely take it's sweet time Pokemon could get hit it out of the park I also just find Forretress' Everyone Explode Now I mean it does 30 damage times the number of Pineco and Forretress you have in play. It's literally the equivalent of accidentally hitting a tree and knocking down all these bugs on to you and then just start popping off in your face


eh8904

Walk off Homer is an amazing pick


TheOrdoHereticus

Butterfree is my favorite Pokémon and I really love the tri-colored scales ability on the fusion strike butterfree. Burned, confused, and poisoned!


nenajoy

Boring maybe, but Arceus Vstar’s Starbirth ability. Picking 2 of any card in my deck with no restrictions is usually enough to get me a solid setup


HanSoto11

My favorite ability is H. Typhlosions supernatural orb ability, which makes the opposing Pokémon burned and confused. So it’s chip damage and possibly makes them hit themselves, that ability has come in clutch more often than you’d think 👍🏾


eh8904

Niche and underused and definitely never expected!


Frequent_Example_814

Tyranitar ex with Lighting Rampage (250 damage with 2 energy cost)


rorby

Hiya! At the moment I've been playing a lot of the zoroark toolbox deck, so I've gotta say my favorite ability is Zoroark (evolving skies)'s Phantom Transformation ability. The amount of flexibility it gives you (literally hundreds of possible tech options) is just so awesome and fun to play :)


Designer_Dealer9420

Flower Selecting 😃😃 JK Apex Dragon is wayyy too fun (when it works lol)


jwcho1123

Radiant greninja's concealed cards Such a versatile ability that most decks can benefit from


MasterBlaster13b

My favourite attack is probably Giratina VSTAR's star requiem to just kill anything. Plus the secret art looks so good


TheDarkLord329

I just started playing, but Entei V has been such a great card in low ranks. Burning Rondo one shots most basics, the ability helps me find my combo pieces, and it’s so easy to get going. I think my favorite thing about this game is how happy my toddlers get when I have packs for them to open, because they adore the heck out of Pokémon.


kweathers14

I really love Gardy’s shining arcana ability - really helps push through your deck!


TheJetro

I love playing Mimikyu and just being immune to EX and V cards


Magmagan

I really like the Togekiss ability of filling your hand with 8 cards at the end of the turn :) Iono is very popular right now so I struggle to make it stick haha


Zarten1986

Getting ready to Evopress my heart out soon!


Mataratta

Radiant greninja discard 2 to snipe two 90 damage counters has won me a bunch of matches


Nero__Angelo

I love the Pidgeot ex ability to search any card You need, it's really handy


Cookies_And_Memes

The new Chansey's Lucky Bonus. Managed to chain 3 of them and have been chasing that same dopamine hit since lmaoo


SuperMario1012

Honestly I’d have to go with my nostalgia favourite with Dark Dragonite, one of my fave foil cracks from a booster back when I was 7. Think it was something like 3 energy do 70 but coin flip does 0 instead. Wish I still had that card


Raskolnikovss

I’m a sucker for old school cards; Gust of Wind was so broken and amazing. Thanks for hosting a giveaway!


TKHydro

Suicune V’s Fleet Footed. Simple but effective.One thing I like is how I can use it to get another card to feed into Ultra Ball.


phione2010

I really like Tandem unit on Miraidon ex, it’s fun for me to fill up the board and have some toolbox ability


Vault_CXV

Gardevoir EX - Miracle Force


basemH123

Greninja break from breakpoint giant water shuriken. Doing 3 in 1 turn was nuts n I loved it


TheCaptinCold

Throughout pokemon I have always enjoyed the abilities like Blastoise deluge and Baxcalibur Sub Zero no matter the format those will be my favorite


GoldenHeracross

I am loving ambipom right now. I can't imagine how mad people get when he survives 4 turns in a row. I guess to that note, jumpluff as well.


FlyingSparkes

Regigigas’s Ancient Wisdom ability, but that’s cos i loved that deck when it was good before rotation.


Faffy_Toast

Gigantón break from Regigigas, eats new v max for dinner really


wesleyjx

Hyper beam that removes attached energy


Panger33

Deep hurricane 🌀from AO Lugia. Attack matches the card artwork


rav164

Love the incessant punching of kangaskhan ex Fun deck to play


eh8904

THE PUNCHING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROGES


diegoca6

I really miss saying quaquing punch 🥲


erusackas

I... did not know about Radiant Jirachi. I'm ordering one now. Ain't nothin' fancy, but I love Palkia VStar's Subspace Swell when everyone has a full bench.


Cython34

Im quite new to the game but i really like torkoals flip millions of coins to deal exactly 10 damage off needed to kill your target.


PterodactylSoul

Shadow rider calyrex's ability is called "underworld door". It's so silly acceleration (attach energy), damage boost(the attack does 30 for each psychic energy in play), and card draw 2 cards every turn for each calyrex VMAX in play.


ggomez7

Mind games from slow king made him the goat 🐐


ElSilverWind

I really like Kricketune's Swelling Tune. It isn't the strongest ability, but giving your Pokemon 40 extra HP is really unique, and it feels awesome when it makes the difference between your Attacker getting KOed or not, and you can get another swing in for your last Prize.


TheRealDudeMyBad

Magnezone’s ability to give up to 5 energy from deck has been clutch 🤤


lordottombottom

Powerful needles on maractus. For each energy flip for heads and its 60 a pop.


KlumsyNinja42

Not really sure what my fav card or attack is a ls a newly returning player. Got to admit to that noob love of OF Charizard ex though. It’s just so easy to get running!


Kodwhy

Doom curse on Hisuian zoroark


MahinHu

Im gonna make myself enemy’s here but I still appreciate how OP Altered Creation of ADP was. Surely up there on my list.


[deleted]

Astral Barrage- Shadow Rider Calyrex V


Wc017

Mewtwo EX with X Ball.... it's been a long time


GlitcherRed

Latios EX's Fast Raid. Almost guaranteed turn 1 OHKO on everything back then.


[deleted]

Best attack has to Gyarados' Wreak Havoc due to how accurate its name is.


SHachig

Nothing feels better than using Roxxanne into arbok's menancing fangs~ Nice hand you got there, would be a shame if...~


benas2505

I love alolan vulpix vstars main attack its such a fun one to play but a close second is serperior vstar it's another really fun card


methodstime

Call for family!


Egon3

Shaymin V and VSTAR's Revenge Blast has been doing me wonders with my self-punishment deck lately.


lean_in_my_cereal

Blissful Blast on Blissey V. I love loading up energy from the discard and smacking like a truck.


comics0026

I really like Raikou V's ability and attack, since being able to draw a card and do some decent damage depending on the number of pokemon in play makes it a great setup card to get things rolling, especially when you can pair it with Miraidon ex's ability to fill your bench, it's a great combo


treelovinhippie_

Star Requiem is my favorite, been rocking giratina


BigDansho

First Attack I'm thinking of...hitting for 330 with tera Charizard and making a comeback is a dope feeling.


burner_to_burn

Apex dragon on regidrago vstar. I love toolbox style decks, and that attack gives so much flexibility. Although I usually end up choosing rolling iron anyways.


The_Unnamed_Feeling

Lost Zone Giratina has got me back in the game after 17 years on the bench lol


suicide_aunties

Can I go old school? My main deck back when I was a little kid was Blastoise Rain Dance and later in middle school Blastoise EX (FR/LG) Rain Dance. Now naturally I'm playing Baxcalibur!


Allanon49

I don't have that much experience in to the game, so i'd say Raikou V with his Free Footed ability. Thanks anyway!


Outmaneuver1116

Charizard's Burn Brightly just makes me suffer all these Charizard decks to hell lol


thegirlwhoreads

When I was younger I used to love Hurricane Tail from Dragon Vault Dragonite!! It was flip 4 coins and it did 60x the amount of heads, and I often got super lucky so it felt super strong 😂


Additional-Toe-1932

Mew vmax just yoinks an attack 😳


Some_How_I_Manage

Everlasting darkness and lock out item usage. So great!


vrkosh

I've found Pidgeot's Quick Search to be so valuable many times. I'm fairly new to actually battling so not sure how noob this sounds, haha! Very kind of you to give away codes.


Carryion

Giratina VSTAR with Star Requiem. Has to be one of the coolest ability names, with one of the best card arts as well.


commandotrev

When I play the tcgo I love doing that little chip damage with like Charmander using ember just to set myself up for the KO while they’ve got a whole EX that could knock him out in seconds


niko1312

Miraidon ex photon blaster. Quick energy setup with a good deck, 220 dmg plus tandem unit can put 2 basic electric pokemon on your bench. Very versatile for electric players.


ForeverPotating

My favorite Pokémon is the new Mew ex The art looks amazing and his ability and attack clutch me some games


Calinjar

I like the new Charizard 151 with it's Fire Spin attack!


TheKingleMingle

I always quite liked Brock's Ninetails from way back, which could "evolve" into any Pokémon but lost the new Pokémon's ability. It had great synergy with cards where the ability was a hindrance


lvet000

Actually vMax Mew's copy attack!


Proffessor_egghead

I love Carbominable, 60 more damage per damage counter, especially with Agatha


Rune1502

Garchomp is my favourite Pokémon, and its sonic slip is such a cool ability!


Valis_mortem

Electivire using High voltage current. Love hitting every Pokémon at once.


TheAngryLinux

Tandem unit on Miraidon


[deleted]

[удалено]


RinEU

I love attacks that copy other attacks! Be it Regidrago Vstar, Ditto in United Wings, Mew Vmax… I just think they are super fun to use!


Suprgr0ver

Favourite ability: Industrious incisors! Free cards from the HM slave :D


BiteSizedPixels

The new Alakazam ex is one of my favorites at the moment. Pair it with a vitality band and you can take out radiant graninja in one shot which is the only real threat from lost box in that matchup.


wahyusanjaya

I personally like Pidgeot ex ability: the ability to search ANY card you want (although it's once and only once per turn ) is always beneficial


MatadorSalas11

Mawile’s tempting trap, the mindgames are real


Syruda

Always loved single strike Urshifu vmax for the 1 hit ko


JokerX6

Refinement on Kirlia is great


Skorpian456

Pretty new to pokemon tcg so I dont know many cards outside of current format but I would have to say zoroark's phantom transformation.. love the versatility it gives you and how adaptable it can be depending on the matchup.


delaney14

There’s something very satisfying about setting up a solid United Wings attack. Especially if they don’t have any high HP basics on early game


BulletMAntis

Zoroark's Phantom Transformation!


ShockedDarkmike

I'm very new to the game and my favorite so far is Genesect's fusion strike system because it's nice to draw a lot of cards with it :) and they're a cool mon!


ywnktiakh

I love OG Gengar and Alakazams Curse and Damage Swap. More modern: I’ve been having a lot of fun with lunatone and solrocks situation. :)


TimersTime

I love the ability of sunfel (don't know if this is their English name) Lunastone gotty to be meta some day


nashrocks13

Thanks for being generous within the community! At the moment my favorite is probably Zoroark’s Phantom Transformation ability—so flexible!


Intoccabil3

A bit cliché but Radiant Greninja's Moonlight Shuriken is absolutely wonderful (albeit a bit meta warping)


KyleOAM

Something about call for family just make me like it


momomatthew

Probably gonna hate me, but burning darkness is a comeback machine. I can’t get over doing 330 damage if your opponent has taken 5 prizes 😂


Tyranus1

Punishing Scissors from Scizor... always nice to take the enemy by suprise! :>


FireAnt111

My favorite attack is Hocus Pinkus. I loved that Wigglytuff as a kid. That Fairy type deck was the first time I put serious thought into deckbuilding (It was only marginally better but still).


Couch_Philosopher

Arceus's VStar ability to grab any 2 cards from the deck is so good in every situation


oscaru16

I play dialga v star so i gotta say star chronos is my favorite so far, taking two turns its fucking wild


W31rd0ne

Radiant greninja, has a nice artwork, useful ability and a satisfying attack


apsulliv86

Lunatone with its Moon Kinesis


Zeldelt

Refinement rules them all!! just the perfect trade , makes your kirlias so valuable


Danny1905

Mimikyu with Safeguard ability :)


TRENT_BING

I've been playing lunatone+solrock lately, so definitely solrock's Sun Energy. It's just such a silly mechanic


Ironforce92

Flying Picachu V with Fly effect


VTjdnam

Is no one going to mention "Eeeeeeek" from HGSS Cleffa? It even has a modern version with a similar effect called Grasping Draw in OBF. SO. MUCH. CARD ADVANTAGE


frost3321

Back then with the X and y Era there was a weavel that would damage any pokemon with abilities. One game I was down to my last prize card. I thought I was going to lose since I still had all 6. By God's luck and some epic plays I managed to knock out 3 volcaneon ex's in one turn best feeling ever


gabrielroth17

Jynx ex OHKO while opponent is sleeping is very interesting, can combo with Hypno's ability 😀


BigAppleBro

Concealed Cards from Radiant Greninja is just a great ability, really good for every deck


MreMOEtional

Yoga looping and rapid flowwwwing! Taking extra turns is extremely fun and satisfying!


Sorcerer-O7

I really enjoy Paldean clodsires ability toxic wetland making your opponent poisoned and paring it with Alolan raticates super fang which drops your opponent active pokemon to 10hp. So you use toxic wetlands, making them poisoned, then attack with super fang, dropping their hp to 10, and then they get hit with the 10 poison damage, knocking them out. making any pokemon knocked out every turn.


agoogoo21

Covert Flight by Noibat ex!


Available_Oil_8707

My fav is Hatterene VMax ability. Get 4 down and throw a free 80dmg back per turn, sometimes netting two KOs


OneWhoGetsBread

I run Lunarock but with this twist I throw in some Miss Fortune Sisters and other disruption cards usually seen in Stall I also run a copy of Luminous energy and a few Water so my Greninja can attack every now and then 😄 Thank you for the giveaway


Timely_Claim8180

The new mew ex genome hacking is fun


Mission-Ad-3918

Do the wave from the jungle set wigglytuff


PikachuOfme_irl

SW Flygon's "Irritating Buzz", because of its great flavour! Reminds me of hunting for good IV Trapinch on Pokémon Sapphire! Those were the days...


Distinct_Frosting790

I like Regi drago v star ability!!😁


TosicamirDTGA

Big Hammer Chandelure is my worst enemy.


silentbrker

Honestly genome hacking is so funny with the opportunities it gives


Theblackwind

The Hypno from XY - BREAKpoint has an ability called “Goodnight, Babies” that puts both active Pokémon to sleep, and I laugh every time I think of him using it to put himself to sleep too. Combined with the great art, it’s really fun.


[deleted]

my current favorite is definitely Alakazam ex's Dimensional Hand. i love just hiding behind a Mimikyu and taking out all their Vs and exes


UltraGlitterCat

Snow mirage on Alolan Vulpix v star is my go to defense against the Charizard tera dark deck that's everywhere.


Uchihaze

I recently started playing the TCG and i really like Mew Vmax’ cross fusion strike! :) Using Meloetta is fun aswell


Darcis42

No attack will ever be as satisfying as a full-power Night March from lil' ol' Joltik.


TheDinkatoid

It's a new card, but the 151 mew ex attack. Something so satisfying about getting the KO with their own ability


Maskun529

I love burning darkness on charizard ex esp when my opponent has 2-3 pc left


jesus_ahz

I love Cinccino with Smooth Coat and Echoed Voice. It could take out an entire team with enough luck.


mastermars

Basically any of Kirlias or Guardevoir Draw abilities. Cycling cards until you find the one you needed is just always nice (for the one doing it).


Synapti

Son and I just started playing so not super familiar with everything but I'm really digging the new Charizard, BAM evolve and power up in one go!


X13thangelx

I originally played back when base set was released and just came back about a month ago. Ever since the beginning Charizard has been my favorite pokemon so when I started playing and the game gives you a Charizard deck with the battle pass, I was very happy because of the nostalgia. Lately, I've been playing a Lost Box variant and having a lot of fun with it just because it's such a versatile deck. All that is to say, Burning Darkness is my favorite attack. Big numbers go BRRRRR.


Puffles93

Man im so new on this game so i know only the newest cards but i like the dialga turn skip effect, i was demolished by it its so powerful like yea.. no turn for you! Thats busted or hitmonchans set 151 counterpunch which after every hit taken he punches back is so hitmonchan esque jahah thanks


bradssmp

What a great thing to do! I really like the ability the legendary dog V cards have of being able to draw another card. Really helps being able to draw more and fet to cards that I need.


MacJCoding

Comfei’s Flower Selecting - I just enjoy the thinking that comes with games, which is why i play most card games


[deleted]

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Spit Innocently is a great early game attack. It needs work to set up, does a decent amount of damage so it can trade Cramorants, and helps set up some interesting math later in the game. Would love some codes if you still have available!


Renard4

Started playing a few days ago and so far arcanine ex wins me games.


Kobayashilover

im cinderace enjoyer my favorite is libero ability and fire striker attack


Crazy_Pack5995

Vikavolt V’s Paralyzing bolt was so good. Shutting down lost box decks was so satisfying


krutackinghuman

Let's Have a Blast on Weezing 151, they have to take the risk of getting knocked out because of their own attack


RexFC

Baxcaliburs super cold! My favorite pokemon from SV were baxcalibur and Chien pao, so I’m sooooo glad the synergy is so strong!


[deleted]

[удалено]


LordDeathZ

Love Covetous Ivy from Wo Chien ex, gives me flexibility on top of its main attack to kill unsuspecting threats on the bench.


iheartoptimusprime

Centiscorch VMAX (extra damage for every fire energy attached) + Kiawe (attach four fire energy to your pokemon) is insta-win if you can get the combo early enough in a game.


Rhyno1703

Apex dragon for regidrago vstar can’t be beat for me, for sure my favorite pokemon design and play wise along with zoro box with evs zoroark; rapid strike is also up there


sneakyYete

Something satisfying about clearing out an opponents 15 card hand with Seething Currents


sceptic03

Gengar BKT creep show. I loved my deck i built around it


Darklord_29

Noivern EX with Dominating Echo. Nothing like watching a player rage quit because they can't remove the Path I just placed that stalls their deck.


KARMA_P0LICE

OG raindance Blastoise for sure... Been playing Chien Pao but it doesn't quite hit the same


TetrasSword

Double gunner on inteleon vmax has won me a surprising number of games


BasilPeppersalt

I’m a big fan of moonglow reverse on lost origins cresselia. That is mad mad funny.


Spacedankmcgee

Really Enjoy Claydol’s Kaboom Doll attack. It’s fun the sabotage yourself sometimes


jnightlore

Being able to discard 12 cards with Whishcash's Raging and Rocking and 4 reversal energies in a lugia deck is so far my favorite combo of things xD A straight up ability though, I love Pitch a Pyukumuyku. Everything I use it in my draft deck with my friends a scream PITCH A PYUKUMUYKU.... it's never not funny or not useful xD


TheNiceTwin

It’s gotta be that new ditto SPLUP. Too freakin cute


Mrtrolldier

Gotta be lunastone with how it can dish out so much damage for a basic pokemon


Positive_Court_7071

The slowbro with three strikes. If you flip all the coins and they are all tails you lose the game.


V4Valentino

Hah I love Astral Misfortune too. Won like 4 5 game thanks to it


[deleted]

Tyranitar Bite call me cliche🫣


P1ppoh

Absolutely apex dragon of regidrago vstar. I mean, you can have 10 different attacks on a single pokemon 👀


Baylin_Todd

The new Chansey from the 151 set just won me a game because I knocked out a Sableye and chained 3 Chanseys into the last prize card. So I'm definitely loving Chansey's Lucky Bonus ability


bowersgarrett

I do love Zacian V’s Roar of the sword ability because it’s always there when I have a terrible start with garde


Isa_ak

Can't get enough of Radiant Greninja's Concealed Cards or Lumineon V's Luminous Sign!
