https://stayclose.social/ChelseaHerndon/ Latest updates from Chelsea Herndon https://stayclose.social/blog/109452/break-into-battle-with-pokemon-tcg-battle-heart-tins-mythical-collections/ This will be a very popular set, as proven by the Phantasmal Flames scalper purchases , which already exceed 42,000 sets. A lot of this is due to the expected value of the cards that will be included in it . Even though the hype around the set is massive, some attention is shifting toward other future sets, and one new set has just been officially revealed by Creatures

First up is the Battle Heart Tin featuring Pikachu EX. There have been tins released in the past which are always a good investment for collectors. This particular item depicts an embossed Pikachu on the lid below a clear plastic window. The lid is also depicts a contrasting pattern of a starry sky with a fiery background which makes it appear to subtly hint at Pokémon Sun and Moon. One could also imagine the celestial images as more mechanical which would represent Magearna and the fire is used for Volcanion. Both of these Pokémon, along with Pikachu, are printed along the sides of container. The look itself is very appealing and could appeal to fans of both the older and more recent generations. It can even be used to hold all kinds of Pokémon memorabilia when traveling to game nights and competitions.

We received a couple of themed decks and booster packs to check out, courtesy of TriplePoint and the Pokémon Company. The decks are Bright Tide, Forest Shadow and Roaring Heat. Each one features their respective starter Pokémon on the gorgeously embossed packaging. Each of the Pokémon's outline poke into the cutout opening which adds a nice touch of how involved they can be with their own decks. Inside all boxes are similar items. A deck of 60 cards, a checklist, one metallic coin, a playmat, deck box and damage counters. The back of the packaging even lists the contents of the Pokémon you will receive along with a few images.

The inside of the tin is even more worthwhile. All items come with four trading card booster packs which are always fun to open. Plus, you receive the featured Pikachu EX card. Including this card in your deck will give you quite the advantage during matches. Pikachu doesn’t require much in terms of energy cards in order to pull off strong attacks. Thunder Shock dealing 30 damage is low but with the chance of paralysis and inflicting double on certain opponents will help. Mega Thunderbolt uses up two Electric-type energy cards and one other kind. It inflicts a whopping 160 damage while removing all energy cards from Pikachu. This attack helps against pretty tough opponents and should wipe out many in a single blow. Two additional advantages of Pikachu EX is high HP allowing it withstand numerous hits as well as being a basic card which means you won’t need a Pichu in order to evolve and play. There are also these tins with both Magearna and Volcanion represented on the lid if you choose to pick those up.

We were also lucky enough to checkout some plush toys that are usually only available in a very specific manner. Those who pre-order Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are given one of three plush key chains of the Alolan starters: Litten, Popplio and Rowlet, each of which is so adorable. They are made of soft fabric and very detailed with all markings and features present, and are very high quality, coming directly from the Pokémon Center. Plastic hooks in matching colors are attached to each one. Use them to clip onto various belongings such as purses, car keys, curtain rods or backpacks just to name a few. For those who plan on getting Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the pre-order bonus isn't a bad deal at all, and hopefully you will be able to get the one you favor the most!


As seen in the report, the new Special Illustration Rare version of Mega Gengar ex is but a reprint of the existing one in Phantasmal Flames . However, what stands out in this version is its rarity and its eye-grabbing illustration . Gengar is a fan-favorite Gen 1 creature, and its Mega form is among some of the very best Mega Evolutions in Pokémon . This card’s artwork was created by danc


Phantasmal Flames has some of the coolest cards to date, even if you're not lucky enough to get one of the Mega ex Special Illustration Rares. Standard Mega ex cards of Pokémon like Gengar and Charizard X are still highlights, and even standard Rare cards of Pokémon like Vileplume and Zacian feature some nice artw


It puts Mega Gengar front and center in the art, making its darker color palette contrast with the bright neon colors from the rest of the scenario. The vanilla card is already expected to be one of the most valuable cards in Phantasmal Force thanks to the community’s appreciation of Gengar, combined with its gameplay value. However, with its higher rarity and gorgeous artwork, I believe this will become a gem for **Pokémon Pokemon Tcg Rules|Https://Pokemontcgdeck.Com/ ** collectors, and it’ll likely be worth a lot of mo
