In Pokémon TCG Pocket, new cards are constantly being introduced, some of which bring interesting and strong effects. One card can make it so that your opponent can hardly play.
To have successful battles in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you need a reasonable and well-thought-out deck to make your opponent fear. Sometimes, you don’t even need one of the strongest meta decks of TCG Pocket.
One card ensures that players have almost no way to equip their monsters with the necessary energies. The idea behind it is as genius as it is mean.
No Energies = No Attacks
What kind of card is this? The card in question is Porygon-Z. This card is of the Normal type, has 140 HP, and has an attack that requires you to equip it with 3 energy of any type. Besides a damage value of 80, the attack also has a pretty nasty effect.
If you perform the attack, the energy that your opponent generates in the next turn is randomly chosen from all types. This means it can happen that your opponent generates an Electric energy, even though they only use Water energies for their deck.
If you use Porygon-Z’s attack every turn, the effect also takes place in every turn of your opponent’s. So it becomes very difficult to supply Pokémon cards with the right energies when only inappropriate energies are generated.
What should you watch out for with this card? If you want to play a deck with Porygon-Z, you also have to consider a few things. To bring Porygon-Z into play, you first need to play a Porygon and evolve it into Porygon2. Only then can you evolve it into Porygon-Z.
Additionally, you need 3 energies to execute Porygon-Z’s attack. Since the monster only has 140 HP, it can be taken out relatively quickly by quite a few other monsters. Especially if your opponent already has fully equipped monster cards in play that no longer depend on new energies.
How do I get the card? If you want to test Porygon-Z in a deck and you haven’t received the card yet, you should open Palkia packs from the current expansion Collision of Space and Time. Here you can obtain the card.
