Terapagos acts as a good form of support during gameplay, though it can also serve as a decent attacker as well. Its first attack, Prism Charge,allows players to search their deck for any three Energy cardsof their choosing and attach them to any of their Pokémon, which is especially helpful when setting up powerful ex Pokémon for future turns. This move can also be used to set up Terapagos' second attack, Hard Tackle, which requires three of any type of energy to deal a decent 100 points of damage to opponents.

Mesprit’s secret rare card artwork is a beautiful scene that is very befitting of a mystical lake guardian.

However, this attack is unfortunately limited by the requirement that the other Lake Guardians, Uxie and Azelf, also need to be in play for it to be able to be used.
5Ceruledge Secret Rare
Card 109/106 In Supercharged Breaker
Ceruledge inSupercharged Breakeris not only a powerful attacker, but is also a Pokémon that can quickly put an opponent at a disadvantage.

Its second attack, Black Flame Slash, is also able to deal a substantial 160 damage, but at the expense of Ceruledge not being able to attack during the next turn.
The best aspect of this Ceruledge card that makes it stand out is the artwork.The artwork created by illustrator Rond depicts Ceruledge as a tall and imposing force of danger, staring down its opponent and preparing to strike at any moment. It is a scene that is both mesmerizing and haunting at the same time, befitting Ceruledge’s Ghost typing.

Pokémon TCG Charizard Ex Battle League Deck Release Date, Cards, & Price
A new battle league deck for the Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to release very soon, featuring the immensely powerful Dark-type Charizard EX.
Pikachu’s ability Tenacious Heart imitates the friendship mechanic found in recent mainline Pokémon games.

Combined with its powerful second attack, Topaz Bolt, which is able to deal an impressive 300 points of damage in one hit, this makes Pikachu ex an immense threat to any opponent.
3Palossand ex
Card 057/106 In Supercharged Breaker
Much like the Pokémon itself, Palossand ex appears rather unassuming at first glance, butit hides immense, terrifying power. Both of its attacks make Palossand a big threat for opponents, as it is able to both trap active Pokémon and wear down benched Pokémon to gain an advantage. Its first attack, Sand Tomb, is a clear reference to its unsettling Pokédex entry, as it damages the opponent’s active Pokémon for an immense 160 damage and simultaneously prevents them from retreating during the next turn.
Unfortunately, not even benched Pokémon are safe from Palossand’s attacks. Its second attack, Baryte Jail, allows the player toput damage counters on any of the opponent’s benched Pokémonuntil they are down to just 100 health points each. Considering how many Pokémon inSupercharged Breakerhave massive amounts of health points, then this attack can be devastating for anyone who finds themselves unprepared.
2Hydreigon ex Secret Rare
Card 133/106 In Supercharged Breaker
Hydreigon is an incredibly powerful fifth-generation Dragon-type, andSupercharged Breaker’s Hydreigon ex cardis a clear reflection of that.

Furthermore, its second attack, Obsidian, is able to deal 130 damage to both the opponent’s active Pokémon and two of their benched Pokémon, allowing for the potential to knock out multiple Pokémon in a single turn.
The artwork created by illustrator AKIRA EGAWA is also a reflection of the terrifying power Hydreigon wields. It is shown to be hovering in midair, all three of its heads preparing to strike at any moment. Combined with the fact thatit is imbued with the power of Terastalization, this card clearly portrays just how much of a dangerous threat Hydreigon is to all who dare to try and oppose it in battle.

Card 131/106 In Supercharged Breaker

Thanks to its ability Sparkling Scales, it cannot be hurt by any attacks made by the opponent’s Tera Pokémon, protecting it from many of the worst threats in thisPokémon TCGset. On top of that, its attack, Hypno Splash, not only deals a decent 160 total damage, but alsoputs the opponent’s Pokémon to sleep, preventing Milotic from taking any more damage from opponents.
The artwork created by Kuroimori is nothing short of a stunning masterpiece, making it a must-have for any collector.
