If you've been out of the TCG for a while, Mega Evolution can make a great place to jump back in. And if you've been here all along, then the new "Mega Evolution ex" cards will surely keep you entertained, whether you're a collector vying for chase cards or just looking to up your game from a competitive standpoint. Either way, the **Pokémon TCG ** has entered into its next era — and it's already looking gr

Now, we come to the Roaring Heat deck introducing the crushing power of Incineroar. There are Fire, Normal and Fighting-types included with this bundle. Incineroar has Fire Fang which will induce a burn on the opposing Pokémon as well as 30 damage. It also uses its signature attack, Darkest Lariat, which you must flip two coins and deal 100 damage, for every heads. This move has the potential to unleash 200 damage, double that for anything weak to Fire-types and it can take down basically anything. Incineroar's 160 HP makes for a great advantage in order to build up its attacks and keep flipping for heads.


Overall, Mega Evolution feels like an excellent kickoff to a new era of the Pokémon TCG . The artwork for the new "Mega Evolution ex" cards is nice, and the ability to evolve into all-powerful "Mega Evolution ex" versions of popular Pokémon should be a real crowd-pleaser. Between sets focused on Team Rocket and Gen 5, the TCG seems a bit stuck in the past. However, the Mega Evolution set proves that there's new ways to present older gimmi

Decidueye uses Leaf Blade to inflict 30 damage but a flip of the coin could double that in no time while Brave Bird deals a whopping 120 damage but can take a toll on the user by hurting itself. Use Brave Bird wouldn't be the best idea especially with Decidueye's lower HP total of 140. As mentioned before, the use of all Grass and Normal Pokémon means you won't have to split your energies as much as you would for the Bright Tide deck.
