Pokemon TCG: The Best Prismatic Evolutions Cards
Whether you’ve managed to get your hands on packs of the new elusive set or not, there are a lot of Pokemon TCG Prismatic Evolutions cards you might want! As always, though, it depends on why you want them. It’s probably the card game with the highest percentage of collectors that never play, but hey, some of us do! Anyway, let’s get into it, shall we? The coolest Pokemon TCG Prismatic Evolutions cards The first card we need to mention is the full-art Palafin ex. It's drawn by Tetsuo Hara, the co-creator of Fist of the North Star, and it shows a wild spirit that's not common in Pokemon TCG art. And there's no big manga connection, but we've really enjoyed the works of recent TCG debut Yukihiro Tada. The latest is a cycle of Ogerpon ex cards, and we're big fans of the head-on approach and sharp color work. We also appreciate the continued trend of legendary creatures at lower rarities to make pack openings a bit more fun. Shaymin, Regigigas, Heatran, Suicune and Groudon all fit the bill this time around. Photo by Siliconera The most interesting Prismatic Evolutions cards A first in the TCG, Eevee ex can evolve into another ex card as if it were a normal Eevee. While we sort of wish that were true with all basic ex cards, as it opens up depth and possibilities, it definitely fits into the appeal of Eevee. The ex versions of Flareon, Vaporeon and Jolteon in the set complement this, with each sporting an attack that uses their three types of energy to do massive damage. The other evolutions have three-energy-type attacks too, but they don't overlap in the same way, making them a bit tougher to play together. The most meta-relevant Prismatic Evolutions cards A new Festival Lead user, Seaking, could see some use? Its attack, Rapid Draw, is a one colorless energy move that deals 60 damage and lets you draw two cards. And the ability letting you use it twice a turn? Tempting. On the subject of card draw, Amarys is a new supporter that lets you draw four cards instead of the usual three. The cost? You'll have to discard your hand if you have five or more cards at the end of the turn. But since this game is usually about expending resources more than stockpiling them, that's probably worth the risk. Similarly, Larry's Skill makes you discard your hand, but if you're already empty? You get the Pokemon, Supporter and Basic Energy of your choice. Let’s also cover the new ACE SPEC offerings! Joining a suite of reprints is Max Rod, which grabs five Pokemon or energy from your discard, and Treasure Tracker, which fills your hand with Tool cards. Given how strong ACE SPEC cards are, these might not be popular options, but we're sure they have a niche. Photo by Siliconera The cutest Prismatic Evolutions cards Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Eeveelutions take center stage in terms of being adorable, but there are a few little pals joining them. The Buneary and Slowpoke are endearing? But yeah, you're probably here for all the Eevee prints. Our favorite is the Elite Trainer Box promo, which shows it asleep on a rug surrounded by toys. The latest Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion, Scarlet & Violet — Prismatic Evolutions, is available in stores starting January 17, 2025. If you’re looking for it on shelves, you might need to be patient; The Pokemon Company International has acknowledged that high demand for the set may lead to shortages, but it says it’s working to print more as quickly as possible.
