The selection of cards gives you a strong foundation for building a new deck to play against your friends. Normally Archeops would be very awkward as a) it evolves from a basic fossil and b) it’s a Stage 2, but Lugia VSTAR has the ability to play any two Normal pokemon from the discard pile to your bench. For all those new to Pokemon TCG or… well, anyone really, each large set in the UK is previewed at FLGS across the country in especially organised Pre-Release events. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. In these events, players are given a Pre-Release kit, which contains four booster from the upcoming set and 40-card pre-built deck that contains energy, supporters, items, pokemon evolution lines and one of four promo cards.

For more than 20 years, the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) has remained extremely popular among players and collectors of all ages. Unlike the last three sets ( Brilliant Stars, Astral Radiance and Lost Origin) there is nothing new to report mechanic wise – like I said, the Lost Zone seems to have done one in this set, which doesn’t mean that you won’t be facing up against endless Comfey/Cramorant/Giratina VSTAR decks, because you will be so… best just sigh audibly and carry on.

Wow, Pokemon TCG, that’s some shade you’re throwing there… but that also means that you have more chance of pulling him. You do get a lot of your money though – no guaranteed Vs like the starter decks, but 12 boosters is nothing to be sneezed at – and considering this is only just more expensive than the elite Trainer Box, which only has 8 booster packs, sleeves, dice and bits – yeah, I’d do this any day of the week, player.This is because the Build and Battle Stadium allows you to experience all the fun and excitement of a pre-release event in the comfort of your own home! com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).

The four Silver Tempest promos available are: Rapidash (see above), Archeops (see above), Kirlia (see above) and Sunflora. Each box included two of the following four different groups of Pokémon cards, with one group always coinciding with the Prerelease promo.

The pulls are valued quite highly, so if you don’t mind your box being a bit roughened up, I would definitely recommend it. In my pre-release deck I sadly got the Sunflora, but I did manage to pull the Mawile V trainer gallery card (a very nice-looking card and did well for me in my games) and a holo Crobat (which I couldn’t play but does have a very cheeky attack – 30 damage, but if you KO one of your opponents pokemon with this, take two extra prize cards. As the boundary between dimensions tears apart, Giratina VSTAR plunges the world into the abyssal shadow of the Lost Zone! There were only 5 good pulls for me, and the the box is damaged a bit around the corners, despite it being delivered in bubble wrap.So Lugia VSTAR can set up the Archeops to charge up the Lugia’s attack – 220 damage, plus discard the stadium if you want. That’s not to say that this set isn’t crammed with potential, because it is, it’s just that there’s no specific counter for what is now the new Mew VMAX/Genesect V/Meloetta deck.

Silver Tempest is the twelfth and also the final big set from Sword and Shield and combines the Japanese sets Incandescent Arcana, Paradigm Trigger, a smattering of Lost Abyss and Dark Phantasm and a further dollop of Trainer Gallery cards from VMAX Climax (I will never not find this subset title amusing) – the big chase cards from this subset this time around are the gold Rayquaza VMAX and Duraladon VMAX cards. Unowns have always tended to be a bit unusual and sometimes a bit broken (like that Unown DAMAGE from Lost Thunder that could effectively allow you to win the game… instantly).

There are no pulls guaranteed in any of the boosters, but as seen above, the odds are definitely in your favour and you also get a couple of Promos, which will definitely be a big selling point to the collector. We want you to be absolutely satisfied with your purchase from The Games Den and therefore we have very stringent quality controls in place to ensure that items are sent to you in perfect condition. Although players could begin using the deck straight away, they were encouraged to modify the deck using cards from the four packaged Brilliant Stars booster packs.
