Sure thing, buckle up ’cause here comes the mess:

Alright, so get this. The new Pokemon TCG Pocket thing called Wisdom of Sea and Sky just dropped, right? And it’s all about Ho-Oh and Lugia booster packs. Remember those Gen 2 critters? Yeah, they’re back with a bang, and they’ve dragged along some Johto pals, trainers and all. Like, you’ve got these new Hiker and Fisher Supporter cards. Pretty neat little nod to Pokemon Gold and Silver days. Ah, nostalgia, huh?
Now, if you’re piecing together a powerful deck, Umbreon Ex is your big cheese when you toss in Sylveon Ex for drawing goodies and Greninja to aim at benched Pokemon. But there’s this whole other thing with Nihilego. Let me try to explain… Nihilego showed up in the Extradimensional Crisis sequel—yeah, after Celestial Guardians—and it’s kinda chill, not a powerhouse, you know? But its More Poison ability though, oh man, it cranks up the poison damage by 10 per tick. Wild, right? Stack that with a couple of Nihilego and boom, it’s deadly with Crobat Ex.
Switching gears a bit—hold on, where was I going with this? Anyway, so Crobat Ex is a beast; 170 HP, single Darkness Energy attack called Venomous Slash. It’s 70 damage plus poisoning the enemy. Sounds like a party. The nerds of the card world are already cooking decks using this setup. Let’s see if my math adds up: Zubats here, Rare Candies there, toss in some Sylveon Ex, and sprinkle a couple of Nihilego on top. Voilà, a winning recipe. And don’t forget those Trainer cards—I’m talking Sabrina, Cyrus, and the gang.
Guzma’s golden, especially with this new Steel Apron tool. Makes battling Solgaleo Ex and Skarmory Ex decks a bit of a nightmare for the opponent. In a good way, I guess.
But Nihilego, oh dear Nihilego. Seems useless, you’d think. I mean, its name kind of screams “I’m pointless” in Latin. But when it teams up with Crobat Ex? Chef’s kiss. Each Poison tick slams the enemy hard, 20 or 30 damage, depending on how many you got. It’s like your ace in the hole when battling, while Sylveon Ex keeps the cards rolling in your hand.
And Nihilego’s just there, quietly holding things together. With even one on the bench, Crobat Ex is dishing out and then adding extra damage, unless the opponent heals or shifts their strategy. Anyway, yeah, that’s the gist. Pokemon TCG’s got all sorts of sneaky blazing action going on. Who knew?
