Finding the Stars of Sun & Moon—Lost Thunder. Get up close and personal with some of the most impressive cards from the upcoming Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Lost Thunder expansion.
With over 210 cards to collect, the latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Sun & Moon—Lost Thunder, is the biggest Pokémon TCG expansion to date. If you’re excited to see some of the new cards, you’re in luck. Take a peek at some of the set’s most interesting cards, and then check back soon for even more, because there’s a lot to look forward to in this expansion!
Zeraora-GX
This recently discovered Mythical Pokémon makes its Pokémon TCG debut as a shocking Pokémon-GX. Thanks to its Thunderclap Zone Ability, your Pokémon have no Retreat Cost as long as they have Lightning Energy attached. This free retreat works well with the Plasma Fists attack, which hits hard but makes Zeraora-GX wait a turn before attacking again. With Thunderclap Zone, you can freely switch Zeraora-GX out for another strong Pokémon, so you never have to go a turn without attacking. And if you need to get a lot of Energy on your Pokémon in a hurry, the Full Voltage-GX attack allows you to grab five basic Energy cards from your discard pile to attach to your Pokémon however you like, a huge boost at any point during your match.
Thunder Mountain Prism Star
Like Zeraora-GX, Thunder Mountain
is a very valuable card in any Lightning-type deck. This Stadium card reduces attack costs by 1 Lightning Energy for all Lightning-type Pokémon, making it easier to pull off powerful attacks. Bear in mind that the effects of this card also benefit your opponent, so take note of what kind of deck they’re using before throwing this card into play. Thunder Mountain
has another fantastic trait—the effects of Item or Supporter cards your opponent plays will have no effect on this Stadium card. It’ll be more challenging for your opponent to get rid of this card when cards like Field Blower have no effect on it!
Lugia-GX
The Legendary Lugia-GX is the Pokémon to call when you need to get rid of your opponent’s Active Pokémon in a hurry. Its Lost Purge-GX attack instantly sends that Pokémon, along with all cards attached to it, to the Lost Zone. It’s an extremely effective way to get a heavy hitter out of the game permanently, though you won’t net any Prize cards. Lugia-GX’s Psychic attack costs 3 Colorless Energy and does a ton of damage when your opponent’s Active Pokémon is loaded up with Energy. Pelagic Blade hits hard, though it’s a bit pricey and can’t be used on consecutive turns—but if you can make it work, you’ll be racking up huge KOs.
