Seed Pokémon with exceptional performance!

The ability to add up to 2 basic water energy from the deck to your hand, and the ability to trash as much water energy attached to your Pokemon as you like, and the trick to give 60 damage x 60 “Blade” is a Seed Pokémon with exceptional characteristics and skills!

The characteristic “Jubaku no Daichi” can eliminate the characteristics of Pokemon with a damage counter on the opponent’s field, except for Pokemon ex. The attack “Land Scoop” deals 150 damage and puts 2 damage counters on the opponent’s Benched Pokémon. By placing it on a Pokemon with an ability, you can eliminate that ability with the effect of the ability “Jubaku no Daichi”, making it powerful! It is a Seed Pokémon with a high HP of 240 HP.

Excellent versatility!

The characteristic “Ikiri Take” can only be used during your first turn, but it has a powerful effect of discarding all cards in your hand and drawing 6 cards from your deck. It is powerful when you have few cards in your hand or when you want to replace your hand with a large number of cards.

While dealing damage, you can attach up to 2 Basic Energy cards to your Benched Pokemon with its attack “Kai wo Iru”, which can be used with 1 Colorless Energy, so it can be used in any deck.

Two strategic tricks!

Trash the top 2 cards of your opponent’s deck, dealing 100 damage with a skill that has an obstructive effect, “Envy”, and apply 1 basic Fire Energy card from your deck to up to 3 of your Benched Pokémon. It has a skill “Flame Surge” that can be attached to each.

Other Pokémon

Excellent compatibility with Paojian ex!

Segrave
Segrave

The ability “Kyokution” allows you to attach basic water energy from your hand to Pokemon as many times as you like during your turn. You can attach it to Segrave and use the 130 damage attack “Buster Tail”, or if you attach it to another Pokemon, that Pokemon will be able to use the attack quickly!

Paojian ex’s ability to add basic water energy to the hand, “Trap”, and “Hail Blade”, a technique that deals more damage the more water energy is trashed from the Pokémon on the field, are both excellent compatibility!

The Pokemon that you put on the bench from your trash with the trick “Saiki no Nori” doesn’t have to be a seed Pokemon, so you can suddenly put out a binary Pokemon!

The trick “bite and roll” puts as many useless counters as the number of “water rats” on your field on each of the opponent’s Pokémon. If you have 6 Pokemon on your opponent’s field and 4 Token Rat on your field, you can put 24 damage counters on your opponent’s field, which is powerful.

Grusha


Grusha

Grusha, the gym leader from the Pardea region, makes her first appearance in the Pokémon card game. It is a support that allows you to draw the deck so that you have 5 cards in your hand. If you don’t have 1 energy attached to your Pokemon, you can draw 7 cards.

It is especially strong in the early stages when energy is not attached. Also, it’s a support that works well against decks that don’t use a lot of energy.

Nanjamo


Nanjamo

Nanjamo, the gym leader from the Pardea region, makes his first appearance in the Pokémon card game. The effect is that each player returns their hand to the bottom of the deck and draws the number of cards remaining on their side.

It’s especially powerful if you can use it when your opponent’s side has fewer cards left than yours! If your opponent has 1 card left on their side, you can make your opponent’s hand 1 card.

Goods that can return up to 3 Pokemon and basic energy from the trash to the deck. Use it when your important Pokemon is defeated, or when you’ve trashed a lot of energy, or when you’re worried about your deck.

Talisman of Courage


Talisman of Courage

A Pokemon tool that can increase the maximum HP of Seed Pokemon by 50. Seed Pokemon often have lower HP than Evolved Pokemon, but this charm of courage makes them less likely to be defeated, and makes Pokemon ex of Seed Pokemon even more active.
