Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield

Deck hints and tips

Eternatus VMAX + Crobat V

Eternatus VMAX’s Dread End attack does 30 damage for each of your Pokémon in play. Play Crobat V (which is a Pokémon) and use its Dark Asset Ability to draw more cards, hopefully finding even more Pokémon to play.

Mad Party

Reminiscent of the old Night March deck from the XY Series, Bunnelby, Dedenne, Polteageist, and Galarian Mr. Rime all have the Mad Party attack, which does 20 damage for each Pokémon in your discard pile that has the Mad Party attack. Discard as many as you can to do some big damage!

Rose + Rose Tower

Rose lets you attach 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile to 1 of your Pokémon VMAX, but it comes at the cost of discarding your entire hand. But with the Rose Tower Stadium card in play, you can then draw 3 cards to get a fresh hand!

Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Darkness Ablaze

The velvet night glows, burns, and blazes astoundingly bright as the Legendary Pokémon Eternatus arrives as a Pokémon V alongside Centiskorch V, Mew V, Galarian Slowbro V, and many others.

Light a fire with the Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Darkness Ablaze expansion!
