What’s poppin’ PTCGL Store readers? Obsidian Flames is our latest Pokemon TCG set, and it has already set our Standard format ablaze! Mew VMAX [Fusion Strike] won the 2023 Pokemon TCG World Championships in Yokohama, Japan, but if you have Charizard ex [Obsidian Flames] in your deck, you shouldn’t worry too much about it!

What’s poppin’ PTCGL Store readers? Have you started looking into Pokemon TCG’s newest set, Obsidian Flames? Discover the realization of the game-changing Terastal mechanic that has Pokemon changing their typing from what they usually are. Tyranitar ex is usually a Darkness-type Pokemon or a Fighting-type Pokemon, but in Obsidian Flames Tyranitar ex is a Lightning-type Pokemon. The change of typing might not seem like much, but it still takes Fighting-type Energy instead of Lightning-type Energy. That means you can gain strong type coverage against the metagame by pairing it with Tyranitar [Paldea Evolved], Tyranitar [Pokemon Go], and Luminous Energy [Paldea Evolved] to make a masterpiece of a strategy! Are there other powerful Pokemon ex in this set? Of course! In this article, I’ll share my personal top five Pokemon ex in the set, and explain why they are great! If you wanna pick up some codes for this set, and you should, use code zlesage5 to save 5% at ptcglstore.com!

What’s poppin’ PTCGO Store readers? Have you been testing Gardevoir ex [Scarlet and Violet]?
