Best Art Cards:
Eevee 188/167
Lots of cute Eevee! What more can I say? See the top left Eevee about to pounce on them below.
Heliolisk 177/167
Very cool looking Heliolisk running on water. The tilted angle adds something it for me too.
Phione 175/167
Beautiful looking card. I love the underwater look with all the Wailmer and Wailord swiming together, with the light shining off Phione. This card gives me a calming peaceful feeling.
Infernape 173/167
An upclose shot of Infernape with fire swirling all around...Yes!
Dipplin 170/167
Different...very different, but in a good way.
Tatsugiri 189/167
This one is my favorite. I like the simple art style and the bright colors. Reminds me of the Bubble Mew from Paldean Fates.
Best Ill Cards:
Perrin 220/167
Very nice artwork. This card also has connecting art with Hisuian Growlith 181/167
Carmine 217/167
Nice artwork of Carmine eating a candy apple.
Lana's Aid 219/167
Just a fun day at the river with Lana and her Pokemon.
Greninja 214/167
To tell you the truth at first I didn't like the art on this card, but it's growing on me.
Ogerpon Masks:
Wellspring Ogerpon Mask
Not the best of the Ogerpon Masks. Nothing really special here. 2nd attack can be good. 100 damage to the active, and if you discard 3 energy 120 to one of your opponents bench.
Heatflame Ogerpon Mask
1st attack - Wrathful Hearth - 20 x number of damage counters on this card. Base damage is too low. 2nd attack - Dynamic Blaze - 140 but if opponents Pokemon is an Evolved Pokemon 280, but discard all energy. Good damage if the requirements are met, but energy acceleration is a must have for this to work right.
Teal Ogerpon Mask
The Ability - Teal Dance is good for accelerating energy from your hand and draw 1 card. The attack - Myraid Leaf Shower - 30x the number of energy on both active Pokemon. Only problem is the 30 base damage. It becomes a liability to stack tons of energy onto a 2 prize Pokemon. It would take 7 energy cards between both active just to do 210 to knock itself out.
Cornerstone Ogerpon Mask
Ability - Cornerstone Stance No damage from Pokemon with abilities. Decent ability but it's lacking. 1st attack - 140 attack isn't effected by anything. Poor card at the end of the day
Ace Spec:
Secret Box
You can use this card only if you discard 3 other cards from your hand. Search your deck for an Item card, a Pokémon Tool card, a Supporter card, and a Stadium card, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck. You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn.
Unfair Stamp
You can use this card only if any of your Pokémon were Knocked Out during your opponent’s last turn. Each player shuffles their hand into their deck. Then, you draw 5 cards, and your opponent draws 2 cards. ACE SPEC: You can’t have more than 1 ACE SPEC card in your deck. You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn.
Scoop Up Cyclone
Put 1 of your Pokemon and all cards attached to it into your hand. ACE SPEC: You can’t have more than 1 ACE SPEC card in your deck. You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn.
Survival Brace
If the Pokémon this card is attached to has full HP and would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent’s Pokémon, it is not Knocked Out, and its remaining HP becomes 10. Then, discard this card. ACE SPEC: You can’t have more than 1 ACE SPEC card in your deck. You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn.
