Top Cards Analysis:

Mew Ex:

This Basic Pokemon boasts 130 HP, a useful Psyshot attack (20 damage), and the game-changing Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy). Genome Hacking lets you copy one of your opponent's Active Pokemon's attacks, making Mew Ex incredibly versatile. It's a strong addition to Mewtwo Ex decks, Gardevoir strategies, or even Colorless builds.

Vaporeon:

With 120 HP, Vaporeon's Wash Out Ability lets you shift Water Energy between your Benched and Active Water Pokemon as needed. Its Wave Splash attack (60 damage) further enhances its offensive capabilities. Vaporeon significantly strengthens Water-type decks, potentially making them even more dominant, especially those utilizing Misty's high-roll potential.

Tauros:

Tauros (100 HP) shines against Ex Pokemon. Its Fighting Tackle attack (40+ damage) inflicts an additional 80 damage if the opponent's Active Pokemon is an Ex, making it a potent counter to Ex-heavy decks like Pikachu Ex. While requiring setup, its high damage output against Ex Pokemon is impactful.

Raichu:

Raichu (120 HP) presents a significant threat with its Gigashock attack (60 damage), which also deals 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. This makes it particularly effective against strategies that rely on building up a strong bench. It synergizes well with Surge decks for quick deployment.

Blue (Trainer/Supporter):

Blue is a new defensive card that reduces incoming damage. During your opponent's next turn, all your Pokemon take 10 less damage from attacks. This is a valuable counter to strategies that utilize cards like Blaine or Giovanni for quick knockouts.
