Early "Black Bolt" and "White Flare" preview
Hey fans! Before discovering all Pokémon from the region of Unova in the "Black Bolt" and "White Flare" expansions, let's preview some notable Pokémon from Unova!
------------------------------
1. First partner Pokémon
- Snivy → Serperior ex ("Black Bolt"):
This Pokémon eventually evolves into:
Having a Serperior ex means that you can have your Pokémon doing more damage and find any cards available in your deck using this Pokémon's attack.
- Tepig → Emboar (*) ("White Flare"):
This Pokémon eventually evolves into:
With Emboar, you can quickly attach any amount of Fire Energy from your hand to your Pokémon in any way you like.
- Oshawott → Samurott ("White Flare"):
This Pokémon eventually evolves into:
With Samurott, each player can switch 1 of their Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot. The more energy Samurott has, the more damage it does for its attack.
All Stage 2 Pokémon above can be combined with Grand Tree or Rare Candy for faster results.
2. Mythical and Legendary Pokémon
- Meloetta ex (" Black Bolt"):
Having Meloetta in your Active Spot during your first turn doesn't mean that you can't attack during that turn. Moreover, right after attacking for the first time, Meloetta does up to 110 damage for just… 1 Energy.
- Keldeo ex ("White Flare"):
Right after being moved to the Active Spot during your turn, Keldeo will do up to 120 damage during the same turn, no matter ít has 2 or 3 Energy. Moreover, its second attack (which costs 3 energy) can do damage despite its opponent's Abilities or other effects. (Weakness and Resistance don't count.)
- Zekrom ex ("Black Bolt"):
This Zekrom is used for revenge: Its second attack (which costs 3 Energy) does more damage for each Prize cards your opponent has taken. (So, for 5 Prize cards, it can do up to... 380 damage.) However, using that attack means that Zekrom will do damage to itself.
- Reshiram ex ("White Flare"):
This Reshiram is used for revenge, just like Zekrom ex. Nevertheless, Reshiram will lose an Energy for each times using its second attack.
