Additionally, the set brings useful Lightning support in form of Thunder Mountain and Electripower. The GX attack isn’t even restricted to Lightning Energy and can be used to charge up almost anything. The card is very impressive, combining Darkrai’s Dark Cloak, Buzzwole’s Knuckle Impact and Turtonator’s Nitro Tank. Lost Thunder’s cover Pokemon starts off this top 10 list. Other relevant cards that didn’t make the list will be mentioned in context of one of the top rated cards they work well with. Sightseer is a good draw supporter for decks with discard synergies.


Faba is the return of Xerosic, but in even better! Counter Gain and Mina are cool new ways to accelerate Energy for all kinds of Pokemon. Alolan Meowth is a sneaky option to take a quick t1 KO and offset the disadvantage of going second. Magcargo-GX combos well with the regular Magcargo and can dish out a lot of damage while tanking hits. Onix is a nice tech for decks with DCEs and Energy Acceleration to deal with Zoroarks. The regular Shuckle single-handedly makes Alolan Exeggutor a very scary deck. Shuckle-GX is an amazing tech Pokemon that can fit into any deck and could become an important card if the metagame is right for it. I’ll be talking about my 10 favorite cards or card combinations in detail, but since the set is way too big and impressive to not go over even more cards, let’s begin with some honorary mentions. Hey everyone, I’m very excited to bring you this Lost Thunder set review today! I haven’t enjoyed the Standard format too much lately, but this set looks insane and has so many good cards that I can’t wait to try out all the possibilities it brings.
