There are more Pokemon cards revealed from Japan's Champions League tournament in Aichi.
These cards are for Japan's 100 Starter decks. It is unknown if some or all of these starter deck cards from Japan have English versions in the Ascended Heroes special set in January 2026.
This post is long. Read what you want.
Erika's Oddish is a decent early game attacker. For one Grass energy, the Assault attack does 30 damage and does 10 damage to itself. It is kind of weak at 60HP.
Erika's Gloom is the evolved form of Erika's Oddish. For one Grass Energy and one Colourless Energy you deal 50 damage plus you make the opponent's Active Pokemon Poisoned.
Here is Erika's Vileplume ex. The Envious Scent ability is a very good healing ability. Once during your turn, you may heal 30 damage from each of your Pokemon. This mass healing effect counters these annoying Munkidori + Froslass spread combos.
The Powder Bloom attack from Erika's Vileplume ex is okay. No one hit Knockout potential but dealing 160 damage plus dealing Poison and making the opponent's Active Pokemon Asleep is annoying for the opponent.
There is a typo in the translations. This Vileplume has 2 retreat cost instead of one.
Erika's Bellsprout is an okay Grass attacker. For one Grass Energy, the Vine Slap does 20 damage.
Erika's Weepinbell has not been revealed yet.
Erika's Victreebel is the final evolution of her Bellsprout. The Solarbeam attack is not great but the Mysterious Rondo attack can deal big damage if you have a lot of Erika's Pokemon in play.
Erika's Tangela as an attacker is okay but the ability is very good.
Colorful Riot can be used once during your turn from Erika's Tangela. You search your deck for an Erika's Pokemon, reveal it and put it into your hand. (Then shuffle your deck)
Combine this Tangela with Forest of Vitality for fast Grass evolutions.
Note that there is typo in the translation. It should say 50 instead of 30 for damage. If you can get the Bind attack going, it can be annoying for the opponent if you get Heads.
There is an illustration rare version of this card. Very colourful.
This new Pikachu ex is very bad in terms of playability. However, the art on this is nice.
Not a playable card but the art is cool. Note that this Slurpuff evolves from Swirlix not from Cottonee. There is an error there.
Here is Mega Audino ex. This Colourless Basic Pokemon has 270 HP, 1 retreat cost and Fighting weakness.
The first attack for one Energy makes you flip 3 coins. For each Heads, you search your deck for 2 Basic Energy cards and attach them to your Pokemon in any way you like. Then shuffle your deck. This is powerful Energy acceleration if you get Heads.
Ear Force is the second attack. You need 3 Energy for this attack to deal 20 base damage. This attack does 80 more damage for each Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokemon. In theory, this attack sounds good but I dunno. If the opponent's Active Pokemon has 1 Energy then Ear Force does 100 damage which is not that good. Three energy would be 260 damage which is okay.
This thing cannot knock out this Budew. Very bad.
Mega Audino ex seems really really bad. There are better attackers than this and other alternatives that can accelerate Energy.
Waitress is a gamble type of Supporter card that can accelerate Energy if you get lucky. Look at the top 6 cards of your deck, choose 1 Basic Energy you find there and attach it to 1 of your Pokemon. The other cards get shuffled back in the deck.
In theory, you get one Basic Energy attachment from Waitress. Then you have one manual Energy attachment for the turn. For now, I think this card is very bad. Use Crispin instead if you have two or more Energy types.
There is a new version of Boss's Orders. This one features Corbeau from the Legends: Z-A video game. Notice the I regulation mark on the bottom left corner. It is not J but I. We have Boss's Orders in the Pokemon TCG for another 2 years.
Here are some of the other Boss's Orders cards in the game. These can be used even though they are older.
Thank you for reading.
