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!

Charizard has been a popular Pokémon ever since the video games first released. It has a starring role as the cover mascot for Pokémon Red and has since made numerous appearance. Charizard was Ash's strongest team member in the anime series, and also a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. and Pokkén Tournament games. Its very first trading card is highly sought after and regarded as one of the rarest and most valuable. So, because of all these highlights, Charizard receiving its very own collectible card set is nothing out of the ordinary.

Along with those powerful cards comes some fun things as well. You receive a huge, much larger version of the Charizard-GX. It can't be used in legit competitions but makes for a nice collectible to be displayed. There are six booster packs from different sets. You will find cards from Guardians Rising and Burning Shadows expansions. A coin is included featuring Charizard. Use it during matches for certain attacks and other occurrences. Finally, show off a Charizard badge however you wish! It is fully colored and finely detailed. Place it on backpacks, clothing, purses and more to let everyone know your favorite Pokémon. These alone make the entire Charizard-GX Premium Collection well worth the price.

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!

First we have a double dose of decks with Tropical Takedown and Twilight Rogue. The former features Alolan Exeggutor on the cover. It's cleverly packaged as the long, neck divides the window of the box. Its contents, however, are what really counts. Alolan Exeggutor comes in with 160 HP which is good to start. Its attack is Tropical Shake which deals a measly 20 damage, but you add 20 more for every basic energy card in your discard pile (but can't exceed 100). This ups its value as a member of your team and would benefit from going third or fourth in the battle, depending on varying circumstances. As long as there's a good amount of energy cards in the pile, Exeggutor could wipe out plenty of threats. Alolan Sandslash comes with the deck as well and makes for a fair sweeper. Its ability allows you to draw a card before attacking which helps plan for future moves. Smash Turn needs three energy cards but wallops opponents with 50 damage; doing so means you have to switch it with a benched Pokémon. So, if you need to deal some quick damage and can swap into a beefier ally, Alolan Sandslash is handy.

Another card with the Black White Rare designation , this nearly all red Victini is a very difficult card to come by, and certainly impressive once obtained. Its monochromatic look is even more striking than that of the all-black Zekrom ex or all-white Reshiram ex, as the vibrant red of Victini adds an almost creepy styling to it, with Victini seeming to jump out of the c

Now, Mega Evolutions is still new ; there's a chance these prices will go down as the market corrects itself. More MHR cards are likely to be revealed in the future, which will help saturate the mar

But Mega Evolutions also contains a new card type: Mega Hyper Rare (MHR). Replacing Hyper Rare, these gold-colored cards appear to be **the Pokemon TCG tournaments|https://pokemontcgdeck.com/'s rarest cards yet, with pull rates of just 1/1,260 for any Mega Evolutions card ** , and 1/2,520, according to TCGPlayer . That means you have a 0.08% chance of finding a MHR every time you open a p

Pokémon games as of recently have been showing off great storylines. There has been more emphasis on them and with greater consequences. But the trading card game has always been a step ahead. It always has something interesting to tell as it doesn't abide by the standards of the video game world. The latest expansion of the card series, however, sort of falls in-between.

The inside of the tin is even more worthwhile. All items come with four trading card booster packs which are always fun to open. Plus, you receive the featured Pikachu EX card. Including this card in your deck will give you quite the advantage during matches. Pikachu doesn’t require much in terms of energy cards in order to pull off strong attacks. Thunder Shock dealing 30 damage is low but with the chance of paralysis and inflicting double on certain opponents will help. Mega Thunderbolt uses up two Electric-type energy cards and one other kind. It inflicts a whopping 160 damage while removing all energy cards from Pikachu. This attack helps against pretty tough opponents and should wipe out many in a single blow. Two additional advantages of Pikachu EX is high HP allowing it withstand numerous hits as well as being a basic card which means you won’t need a Pichu in order to evolve and play. There are also these tins with both Magearna and Volcanion represented on the lid if you choose to pick those up.
