From the TV to the tabletop, you can play Pokémon Rumble wherever you want! Pokémon TCG: Rumble is a fast-paced card game that up to seven people can play at the same time! Using actual Pokémon Trading Card Game cards, players take turns rolling special dice and trying to Knock Out Pokémon in the Battle Royale to claim the last Pokémon standing! The player with the most points is the winner!

Pokémon TCG: Rumble is easy to learn, and every game is sure to be different! Coming December 2nd! Pokémon TCG: Rumble is sold separately and not required to play the Pokémon Rumble video game.

Reflecting the heat of the sun, this Fire-type Arceus (AR3) charges forth to take on all foes! It can unleash the incendiary Bright Flame attack, a searing move that delivers 80 damage. A heavy blow, especially for a Basic Pokémon! The only downside to Bright Flame is that you may have to discard 2 Energy attached to Arceus, but this is dependent on a coin flip, and is a small price to pay for the kind of inferno Arceus can create. Fire-type Arceus is sure to become a centerpiece for your Fire deck.

Boasting distinctive green markings, the Grass-type Arceus (AR2) brings your Bench to life in impressive fashion. Like most of the Arceus cards, this Arceus has only one attack—an attack that can be the difference between victory and defeat! Leaf Refresh does 30 damage to the Defending Pokémon, but more important, it removes 3 damage counters from each of your Benched Pokémon and keeps them healthy enough to join the fight whenever they’re called upon! With the Grass-type Arceus your defenses against attacks on your Bench are stronger than ever before.

The Darkness-type Arceus (AR1) begins our preview series of Arceus cards available in the Platinum—Arceus expansion. Standing tall in front of a total eclipse, this Arceus performs best when you’re behind in the game. Its Prize Count attack does 20 damage, but if you have more Prize cards left than your opponent, you’ll do an extra 60 damage! When you start to struggle, the Darkness-type Arceus could be exactly what you need to fight your way back into the game.

As you’ll see over the next couple of weeks, the Platinum—Arceus expansion is absolutely packed with multiple versions of the Pokémon Arceus! We’ve already seen one card that capitalizes on all those Arceus—the intriguing Arceus LV.X (94/99). Now take a look at Beginning Door (82/99), a Trainer card with the sole purpose of moving an Arceus card from your deck to your hand. And, since it’s a Trainer card, you can play more than one per turn. This, in turn, allows you to load your Bench with Arceus before your opponent can blink! Beginning Door is a portal to all kinds of opportunities in the Platinum—Arceus expansion!

Get better by getting bigger with Tangrowth LV.X (99/99)! Tangrowth LV.X helps you on your way with two growth-spurts in the shape of its Healing Growth Poké-Power and its Big Growth attack—two devastating additions to your deck. Its Healing-Growth Poké-Power gives you a 50/50 chance of removing 4 damage counters from any of your Pokémon (based on a coin flip)—demonstrating that even when it's on the Bench, Tangrowth LV.X is helpful! If that isn’t enough, its Big Growth attack lets you sift through your discard pile for as much Grass Energy as you want and then allows you to attach it to your Pokémon! Pile Energy onto cards such as Vespiquen Elite Four (Rising Rivals, 35/111) whose Leaf Needle attack increases by the amount of Energy attached, or seek out your own mighty combos! With Tangrowth LV.X's capabilities, you’ll soon be watching your win totals grow, too!

With its sharp claws and piercing yellow eyes, Toxicroak (11/99) will put the fear into your opponent even before an attack is made! This Stage 1 Pokémon looms under an ominous eclipse, ready to deliver two stellar attacks packing plenty of strategic potential. First up is its Corner attack, which not only prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating but also does 20 damage. Next is Convert Blow, an attack that delivers a basic 30 damage (plus another 30 if Toxicroak has Fighting Energy attached to it), and causes Poison if Toxicroak has Psychic Energy attached. Try to employ these attacks back-to-back, using Convert Blow to Poison the Defending Pokémon, and then Corner to force it to stay in battle—racking up even more Poison damage!

The high-flying Zapdos [G] (12/99) crackles with lightning as it swoops into the game! Zapdos [G] can use its two moves to quickly build Energy levels then deliver a thunderous blow to the Defending Pokémon! The Charge Beam attack rapidly loads up on Energy whilst the Lightning Strike attack delivers 40 damage... or 80 damage if you choose to discard all the Lightning Energy attached to Zapdos [G]! Since Charge Beam makes it so easy to replenish Zapdos [G], it makes sense to do the maximum damage as often as possible.

The evolution chain of Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar is featured prominently in Platinum—Arceus, with Gengar LV.X (97/99) at the top! Gengar LV.X is a little tricky to use on its own, but both its Level-Down Poké-Power and Compound Pain attack have game-changing potential. First, Level-Down lets you remove a LV.X from an opponent's Pokémon and have that card shuffled back into his or her deck so, if you've been suffering at the hands of your opponent’s Pokémon LV.X, Gengar LV.X is a sure-fire way to slow them down! After you’v e leveled the playing field in this manner, use Gengar LV.X's Compound Pain attack to do 30 damage to any of your opponent's Pokémon that already have damage counters on them. Both of the regular Gengars that Gengar LV.X can Level-Up have attacks that can target your foe's Bench, giving Compound Pain the potential for extraordinary power!
