Each box included two of the following four different groups of Pokémon cards, with one group always coinciding with the Prerelease promo. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. The two effects that the card can ‘either/or’ have are discard up to three (but at least one) cards and draw up to five or switch one of your opponent’s benched Pokemon V with their active Pokemon. This may not be the last set, but this is the last big set, and though this swan is not a-perishing yet, they are certainly warming up for Crown Zenith (due out in January next year).
Starting with Togedemaru, who can be KOd for no prizes on a coin flip, onto Dedenne, who does 60 damage and paralysis and ending with either Morpeko, who can do 60 damage to all your opponents Pokemon, or Pikachu, who can do 200 damage – all for one lightning energy each. The final new staple card from Silver Tempest is Serena, whose Japanese full art is pulling down big dollar dollar bill, y’all. Psychic gets a bit of a boost… actually, not just psychic, because this card will probably end up in a lot of decks.Silver Tempest is a bit of a mop up set and does weigh in at a heft 195 cards plus 30 Trainer Gallery cards and 23 super-duper rares – this is still one less than Lost Origin and nearly two thirds smaller than Fusion Strike, so I can’t really complain. In short, it’s a great way to get a look at the new set and play the new cards without getting too bogged down in the meta-game and getting flensed by seasoned players and their ultra-competitive deck. Although players could begin using the deck straight away, they were encouraged to modify the deck using cards from the four packaged Brilliant Stars booster packs. Sunflora is the weakest of the four, but does have a pretty decent attack for a pre-release – two of any energy does 70 damage for every energy card you discard up to three energy – not bad for a stage one uncommon, but no WAILORD.
For all those new to Pokemon TCG or… well, anyone really, each large set in the UK is previewed at FLGS across the country in especially organised Pre-Release events. In ST, we see all of them together and they have a chain attack (Remember the Hitmon-chain from Sun and Moon? The first thing you have to know about Wailord is that he is big – 200HP on a Stage One Uncommon is HOOOGE. Each box contained a random selection of predetermined cards designed to enhance the experience of the Limited format events in which they were initially distributed. Check the Bulbagarden home page for up-to-date Pokémon news and discuss it on the forums or in the Bulbagarden Discord server.Silver Tempest is the twelfth and also the final big set from Sword and Shield and combines the Japanese sets Incandescent Arcana, Paradigm Trigger, a smattering of Lost Abyss and Dark Phantasm and a further dollop of Trainer Gallery cards from VMAX Climax (I will never not find this subset title amusing) – the big chase cards from this subset this time around are the gold Rayquaza VMAX and Duraladon VMAX cards. In my pre-release deck I sadly got the Sunflora, but I did manage to pull the Mawile V trainer gallery card (a very nice-looking card and did well for me in my games) and a holo Crobat (which I couldn’t play but does have a very cheeky attack – 30 damage, but if you KO one of your opponents pokemon with this, take two extra prize cards. It isn’t just a really good supporter though – it also makes Braixen and Delphox from this set worth playing too. Normally Archeops would be very awkward as a) it evolves from a basic fossil and b) it’s a Stage 2, but Lugia VSTAR has the ability to play any two Normal pokemon from the discard pile to your bench.
Yes, he may have been missing from Lost Origin (but there is hope for the Wailord from that set being in Crown Zenith… just saying) but here he is, front and centre in Silver temp… what, he’s an Uncommon?Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behavior or unique IDs on this site.
