Turn weakness into strength with Houndoom (10/95)! The Dark-type Houndoom has a Weakness to Fighting-type Pokémon, but that shouldn’t slow you down too much. Fight back with Fire Counterattack, which does 20 damage but 60 more damage if your opponent has a Fighting-type Pokémon anywhere in play! Better still, this attack costs only 1 Darkness Energy to use. If you want to keep things simple, switch to Dark Roar, a 50-damage attack that also forces your opponent to discard a card of his or her choice from his or her hand. With two powerful attacks and a reasonable 90 HP, Houndoom won’t have a hard time finding a home in your deck!

An impressive number of cards from the Pokémon TCG: HS—Triumphant expansion dealt with the Lost Zone, and Lucario (14/95) keeps the ball rolling in the Call of Legends expansion! If you find that a surprising number of your Pokémon are entering the Lost Zone, take advantage of that by using Lucario’s Dimension Sphere attack—it does 30 damage,plus 20 more damage for each of your Pokémon that has been put in the Lost Zone, and all for only 2 Colorless Energy! Lucario makes a perfect partner for Absol Prime (HS—Triumphant, 91/102) or Mew Prime (HS—Triumphant, 97/102). If you want to try another tactic with your deck, Lucario can do a hefty 70 damage to your opponent with its Sky Uppercut attack. Additionally, this attack will ignore the Resistance of the Defending Pokémon! Lost Zone or not, Lucario is a force to be reckoned with.

If you're looking for ways to pad out your Lost Zone-themed deck, look no further than Zangoose (39/95)! With plenty of HP, and attacks that have only Colorless Energy costs, it's easy to find a home for this Basic Pokémon. Zangoose’s most notable feature is its Lost Claw attack, which does 30 damage and lets you choose one of your opponent's cards (without looking) and send it straight to the Lost Zone! You can also use the Swords Dance attack to power up Lost Claw—using it will cause Lost Claw to double its impact and do 60 damage on your next turn. Whether you're setting up your Mew Prime or just disrupting your opponent's plans, let the powerful Zangoose lead the way!

For the first time in the Pokémon TCG, you can get hold of a Shiny Ho-Oh (SL5)! With 100 HP and two fearsome attacks, Shiny Ho-Oh is an outstanding Basic Pokémon. Let Shiny Ho-Oh torch the Defending Pokémon for 100 damage with Scorching Wing, one of the most powerful attacks you’ll see coming from a Basic Pokémon. The Energy requirements are steep—3 Fire Energy and 2 Colorless Energy (and a coin flip will tell you if you have to discard all the attached Fire Energy)—but the Knock Out power of Scorching Wing is worth the effort. If you’re looking for something more lightweight but still very impressive, use Shiny Ho-Oh’s Combustion attack. The Combustion attack does only 50 damage but requires only 1 Fire Energy and 2 Colorless Energy to use. Also, there’s no risk of having to discard Energy from Shiny Ho-Oh for this one. Regardless of its attacks, Shiny Ho-Oh’s incredible artwork and unique place in the Pokémon TCG make this card a must-have!

Cool down your opponents with the stunning Shiny Lugia (SL7), the first Shiny Lugia to be found in a Pokémon TCG expansion! No Pokémon is safe when Shiny Lugia is in play—it can hit any of your opponent’s Pokémon in play for 30 damage with its far-reaching Linear Attack. Then, load up more Energy and unleash the Hydro Splash attack on the Defending Pokémon. For 3 Water Energy and 2 Colorless Energy, you can do 80 damage and take out the Defending Pokémon... Not bad for a Basic Pokémon! Regardless of your strategy, when your opponent sees the awesome image of Shiny Lugia rising from the briny depths, you’re guaranteed to take the upper hand!
