Make sure to catch them all in retail locations near you or find them available at the Pokémon Center website .&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;A new card from one of &lt;/ins&gt;Pokémon &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Trading Card Game ** ’s upcoming special sets has already established itself as an immediate fan-favorite&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and players and collectors alike will likely chase it. The next big &lt;/ins&gt;set for &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Pokémon TCG &lt;/ins&gt;** &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;will be Phantasmal Flames &lt;/ins&gt;** , &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;which will put Mega Charizard X &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Mega Gengar in &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;spotlight** . The release of Pokémon TCG: Phantasmal Force is &lt;/ins&gt;set &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;for later this month&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;on November&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The inside of the tin is even more worthwhile. All items come &lt;/ins&gt;with &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;four trading card booster &lt;/ins&gt;packs &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;which are always fun &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;open. Plus, you receive &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;featured Pikachu EX &lt;/ins&gt;card. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Including this card in your deck will give &lt;/ins&gt;you &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;quite the advantage during matches. Pikachu doesn’t require much &lt;/ins&gt;in terms of &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;energy cards in order to pull off strong attacks. Thunder Shock dealing 30 damage is low but with &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;chance of paralysis and inflicting double on certain opponents will help. &lt;/ins&gt;Mega &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Thunderbolt uses up two Electric-type energy cards and one other kind&lt;/ins&gt;. It &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;inflicts a whopping 160 damage while removing all energy cards from Pikachu&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;This attack helps against pretty tough opponents and should wipe out many &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;a single blow. Two additional advantages of Pikachu EX &lt;/ins&gt;is &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;high HP allowing it withstand numerous hits as well as being a basic card which means you won’t need a Pichu &lt;/ins&gt;in &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;order to evolve and play. There are also these tins with both Magearna &lt;/ins&gt;and &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Volcanion represented on &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;lid if you choose to pick those up.&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Mega Venusaur ex actually appears twice on this list &lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;with a Special Illustration Rare listed further down. However&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;though this Ultra Rare may not be valued quite as highly as &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;other, it still stands out as one of &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;top 10 &lt;/ins&gt;of the &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;After signing up for the &lt;/ins&gt;Trainer Challenge&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;, gamers will be given three decks which they can use &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;battle &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;computer-controlled opponent.
