Pokémon TCG: The 10 Most Powerful Water-Type Cards

Part of the Majestic Dawn expansion, Empoleon is a stage 2 Water-Type Pok?(C)mon Card, with 130 HP. Empoleon comes equipped with two extremely useful abilities, the first being Dual Splash, which requires one water and one colorless energy card to deal 30 damage to any two of the opponent’s pok?(C)

This is one aspect in which the Crystal Type Poke-Body ability can be used strategically. Celebi's Mind Bend can make an enemy Confused with a lucky coin flip, though at 20 damage per hit it may not be worth the eff

Volkner’s Philosophy is a Trainer 25 card that works in a similar manner as the Birch and Bianca Trainer Cards but differs in the sense that it also allows the player to discard a card from his/her hand. It is the perfect card to play after the player has finished a big turn and needs to draw useful cards to setup upcoming pl

The higher definition droplets that the turtle Pok?(C)mon is kicking up are part of the original art, yet the way SumiPaints builds upon them and gives more detail to the body of water, as well as the rocky background, gives us an image that tells the story of a solitary Squirtle who enjoys a playful moment to itself as the day winds down to a cl

Similar to Scott, but more useful, Steven allows the player to search his/her deck and select a supporter as well as a Basic Energy Card and put the same in his/her hand. While many decks don’t rely much on Stadium cards, all decks rely on Energy Cards and supporters, thereby making Steven more useful than Sc

This trio of legendary pokemon from the Cosmic Eclipse expansion is unique as it is one of the few that houses 3 pokemon instead of 2 and is also one that is better to be played at the beginning of a battle. Such powerhouses are usually saved for the last parts of a battle as a trump card but this trio has some attacks that benefit more from early p

Kiawe is the perfect Trainer Card for Fire-based decks and should be used during the game’s early stages to give the player the upper hand. While it does end the player’s turn upon use, it allows him/her to search the deck for four Fire energy-cards and attach the same to one of his/her pok?(C)mon, which can also increase to five, if the player has already attached the one energy he/she is allowed to attach to a pok?(C)mon per t

The second allows players to discard as many cards as they liked from their hands while removing the same number of damage counters from Ludicolo. The final ability Circular Steps deals 10 damage multiplied by the total number of active pok?(C)mon in play including the player's and opponent's Pokemons and excluding the Ludicolo, therefore, making this card an absolute powerho

While Fireblast is a decent attack, it also requires discarding an energy card; consequently, it is preferable to use this Fire-type's other move: Dragon Tail. This draconic devastation can deal 100 damage per hit, given good coin flips. This is the highest maximum damage any Crystal Pokemon can unleash. Combined with Charizard's high HP, this makes it the best out of all the crystalline varia

Furthermore, the ability of Dragon Steam for the cost of one water energy card can deal 60 base damage to the opponent’s pok?(C)mon, but the value changes to 20 if the opponent has a fire pok?(C)mon in play. It is a card that allows players to boost their damage throughout the game, instead of focusing on a one-time hit, and provides consistency to the player’s gameplay, helping him/her to attack benched pok?(C)mon and knock out as many as possi

While there are Trainer Cards in PTCG which are used by themselves, there are some that work best when used in combination, and one such deadly combination is that of Virbank City Gym and Hypnotoxic Laser. While Trainer Cards cannot deal damage in the trading card game, these two cards allow players to device new styles of gameplay, whereby pok?(C)mon with low damage potential can also land massive blows and help the player win ga

Belonging to the Sun & Moon expansion, Decidueye GX is a Stage 2 pok?(C)mon with a considerable 240 HP, and abilities Feather Arrow, Razor Leaf, and GX-attack Hollow Hunt.
